There is a button in the center of the AF-M lever on the front below the lens release button. Press this button and use the main and sub-command dials to change focus modes. The mode is shown on the top LCD display. See page 92 in the manual.
Thanks Dave.
I found it last night when I read the manual, not something I do routinely.
Logically I can see the reasoning for the move but ergonomically it is less efficient as the new process requires both hands while the old one required only one thumb.


One of my complaints when I used the D7000, when you are hand holding a heavy lens it becomes a bit ungainly trying to change something that a twitch of a thumb used to do.
