Nikon d40 soft images: help needed

Hi all,

I have a Nikon D40 which has been producing amazing images up until recently. All of my images have been really soft and not in focus once I view them on my screen or computer.

When looking through the view finder my image is focused but once I take the image it is soft and not focused. I have used both manual and auto focus with no difference.

Any ideas about what is causing it or how to fix it?

Thanks.

Is it a prime lens with manual override or a zoom lens? Are you sure the lens is not being moved during actual shooting?
Have you tried different lenses with it?

Maybe if you list the other troubleshooting steps, we can help you identify the root cause! :)

cheers!

My hope is that you accidently switched either the camera or the lens from auto to manual. There's a switch on each (body and lens) that should be set to AF on the body and MA on the lens.
