Can I set Zone AF as Default on Canon 7D? If so - how?

The 7D does not have Zone AF modes.

I’m a little confused.. can you help me understand this Canon Quick Guide referring to Zone AF and Zone AF Point Selection? Help me understand your brief response please. https://images10.newegg.com/UploadFilesForNewegg/itemintelligence/CANON/CDLC_EOS7D_AF_Modes_QuickGuide1400431873067.pdf

I’ve enabled this mode, just inquiring if I can make it default.

My intent - improve the auto-focusing in most prevalent use.

It does, as shown in the linked document. It is just different than newer cameras.

I think you just select it. It should remain selected until you change it.
