Is it possible to register multiple single AF points so that you can tab/scroll through them using the "assist/white balance correction" button found above the quick control dial?

Or can only 1 AF point be registered at a time?

You can register one AF point.

If you use CFn4 (* to focus), you can set up CFn 11 (IIRC, not near the camera ATM) to switch to the registered AF point "only while pressing X" (the button left next to the * button).

I have it set up like that, and * gives me AF at whatever AF point I have selected at the time, X gives me ROF AF.

yeah that's how I have it set now.

On the bodies with the multi-direction control stick, when you press it in, it goes to CF AF point automatically. and pressing the AF selection button enables all teh points.

Is there a way to set the body to have 1 registered point, then use the AF point select button to use the dials to scroll to a new spot but then another button or button combo to go back to center?

Not sure what you're asking exactly, and I only know how a 1D(s)(Mk2) works, but you can select a different AF point for the * and X button. So you have two to choose from.

I think you may have to register the point each time...I could be wrong.

Once registered, it stays registered...
