As I type this, I'm looking over a friend's D7100 because I was told the images were looking soft with a variety of lenses. I've seen the images and I had to agree, they looked soft. Long story short, I found the "Fine Tune Autofocus" setting had been tampered with on his camera. I don't use this feature and know very little about it, but the menu definitely had the Fine Tune option turned "ON" and one of the settings was maxed at "+20". I set everything back to "0" and turned the feature off entirely. A very quick and dirty test *appeared* to show much, much improved sharpness, at least when looking at the shots on the rear LCD (I can't download and look the shots on a PC right now).
From what I've described, could that single setting have been the cause of soft images for multiple lenses on this camera? I don't have my usual resources (aka "the manual") so I need some input, please.
Thanks!
