D50 and AF-Area Mode

[hossmaster]

Hello all, I have had my D50 for a while and never really messed with this setting, so in the beginner area I go.

Under the manual settings, any of the four, when I set the camera to AF-Area Dynamic or Spot with Matrix metering I only get focus on the right most sensor. It shows solid in the viewfinder and bracketed on the lcd display. How do I get the focus to be "Dynamic" through the manual settings? In order for it to dynamically focus, I have to use the closest subject setting and that has its place but not always ideal. Thanks for any insight.
