Ok if you want a silhouette. Center weighted is a balance between spot and full.

As for the focusing Dynamic will choose a couple points close to each other for the focus. Single point is just that, a single point. And 3D is useful for subjects that are moving.

Hope that all makes sense.
IE? what is that?

I understand the Dynamic and single point. 3D is used for moving subject right? Can I just put my autofocus to AFS-C and leave on Dynamic or Single point? Or is it different? Please explain?

Thanks Rex
