If it's like my D60, there's no way to "hold" the focus point between
changes. Both the focus point bracketed area and the area mode
(closest subject, dynamic area, single point) will or can change any
time the camera is turned off or the camera is changed from one
setting to another (ie: Aperture to Shutter).
I'd prefer my camera always default to the single point setting, but
it doesn't.
