I think not called Auto-Area AF, technically Auto-Area AF means, AF-A

I think you mean Dynamic Area AF?
But I think you should use 3D Tracking Area for the example you mentioned.

Any nice ND filter recommend?

ops.. i found that under-low light + long exposure my D7000 have lots of hotpixels.. hot to fix it?

Lee filters or if the screw in type, try B+W

turn on long exposure NR? but it will take some time to clear the buffer to memory card

Isn't that digital noise....as a result of long exposure. Use NR to clean off those

Ok, thanks got it.

Lee fileters would kill most of us =/ the price that is lol!

even cokin z pro already killing me..

AF-A???
There's only two AF mode, AF-S & AF-C
and there's three AF area mode - single,dynamic & auto
and with auto-area AF, according to nikon website - ''Auto Area AF uses color information and special face recognition algorithms to automatically focus on an individual’s face, which is extremely helpful when there’s simply no time to select a focus point, or when using Live View in hand-held mode at high or low angles.''

today shooting at TUDM...

too bad, the face recognition focusing is a bit cacat on my d5100 and the full-time servo mode as well, it take a while to focus again

and 3D tracking on my camera is not that good with 11 AF points

need to request for TUDM permission to shot at there?

btw....everyone please drop by at my thread in showcase subforum

In lower end bodies, there's AF-A:

For explanation, here's a video, navigate to AF Area.
You will see Auto-Area, Dynamic Area and 3D Tracking:

In 3D Tracking, it's what as per explain where it helps in recomposition. I seldom use these, I think it newer models, there is Auto mode will full Focus point, but not sure if it's considered Dynamic or not because Dynamic is not display or shown at all.

Whose into superbikes here?

Erm, I'm not talking about Nikon DSLR in general, I'm talking about D800 . . . .

It doesn't matter, it's just a function/feature.
In fact, it's from Nikon. All models shares the same Dynamic, Single, 3D and Auto. Some older models may not have some features and some advance models may not have those lower end beginner feature. Either way, the term is the same, such as Dynamic, Single, 3D, etc.
D7000 does have BOTH Auto-Area Focus Point and AF-A

Anyway, it's just terms, good to know; doesn't matter which body. At least we now know, there 2 things about Auto-Area.


EDIT:
OK, just check D7000 manual, the AF-A explanation is more clear, it's should be called, Auto-Servo AF, as in Single-Servo AF and Continuous Servo AF. This should fall under AutoFocus mode, while the other should be as what you've mentioned, AutoFocus/AF "Area" Mode.

hey thats my bike n gal

Wah, you ride a Hayabusa?

So, has anyone speculated on the D400? It's the camera I'm most looking forward to to upgrade a D300s and D90. I'm definitely hoping that it'll be D800 style body with D3s or D4 sensor for my shooting work, but the rumors are flying otherwise (24mp DX, wtf?). What are all your thoughts on this?
