Yes, I noticed this also - and I have an average sized thumb. Try setting
Custom
Function 11 to 2. This moves AF selection to the Main Dial (for horizontal AF
points) and
the QC Dial (for vertical AF points). CF 11-2 is not as intuitive as the
arrows, but may be
more useful for YOU. If all else fails, try CF 14 (stand on your thumb until
it's compressed to the
proper length : 8 )

Set Custom Function 12 to 0. When set to 0 and you press the AF Selector
( the ::: button) all seven AF points will light up. If CF 12 is set to 1,
the AF
selection point defaults to the Center AF point only.
FYI - so far the 35 zone Evaluative Metering has worked great for me. It
seems to handle
backlighting pretty well also.
