Like this it basically covers also the zooming ring :arrow: offpissing

I never use all focus points, I want the be in control of where the damn thing focusses!

If you really want to be sure that everything is in focus you could use the "A-DEP" program. Basically it selects an aperture that keeps all focus points sharp. So you point at a car and make sure that all 7 points are on the car. Kinda hard to explain, and the manual isn't that clear on it either.
Well, just too diffcult in most cases.. I don't like the car to totally fill the frame, so at least one or two points are on the ground or background.
Anyway the points the camera is using always flash in the viewfinder, so if I am not happy I just press again untill the ones used seem pretty much what I'd like.
A couple of times I had troubles using single point due as said to reflections for instance (I think), so I use it VERY rarely
