I've had my D750 for a month or so and have only experimented once or twice with Live View still photography; I played around with a couple of still life photos with the Selective Color feature using the old AF 50mm f/1.8 I've had for years. Autofocus was slow, but seemed to work OK. I don't remember what my autofocus setting was.
I recently shot an evening Christmas parade featuring lighted tractors. When I attempted a ground-level wide angle shot using live view, I couldn't get autofocus (AF-C 3D). I tried again outside on an overcast day and still couldn't get the camera to focus. Reviewing the manual, I read that the Live View autofocus will only be effective with AF-S lenses.
Is this true, or do I need to change my AF setting to have success with my older, non-AF-S lenses? I'll experiment more when I get an opportunity.
Stay sharp,
Bob
