Back Focus/Front Focus

[Brian Padraig O'Connor]

How do you tell if your camera is back focusing/front focusing? I noticed the other day that the focus area on a pic didn't look right. I'm just wondering if it's me or the camera.

What camera do you have?

See this Nikon tutorial: How to Use the AF Fine Tune Function; which will explain how to test for, and correct, front/back focus.

What is the "Fixed Distance" you should use for this test?

50 times the focal length of the lens being tested; e.g. a 50mm lens should be tested at 2500mm, or 2.5 meters.
