Nikon D500 - Manual (Page 76)

76 Menu Guide
Choose whether the camera detects and focuses on faces when
3D-tracking is selected for AF-area mode.
In 3D-tracking, the camera tracks subjects that leave the
selected focus point and selects new focus points as required
while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose
whether 3D-tracking uses data from the surrounding focus
points to track subjects that move even slightly from the
selected focus point (Wide) or tracks the subject based solely on
data from the vicinity of the selected point (Normal). Wide is
recommended for fast-moving subjects.
Choose the number of focus points available for manual focus-
point selection.
