I cannot seem to figure out how to select 2 focus points on the 10D for focusing on smaller distant objects It is to difficult to do with one point.

You can't. You can tell the camera to use all 7 or you can pick one.

What are you trying to do? You can use "two focus points" in the A-DEP mode where you provide the fartherst and nearest "points" you want in focus.

Don't think you can do that with the 10D (bummer). I had it on my Elan IIe (DEP) but they took that feature away with the 10D and gave you A-DEP instead. With A-DEP, the 10D will decide for you what your near and far points are going to be. :(

A-DEP mode is covered on page 88 of the manual.
