[QUOTE="Pe11e, post: 505575, member: 39703"] Strange issue. When I'm taking photos using viewfinder, either with 18-55 or 35 F1.8, let's say that 80% of subjects on photos are (slightly) out of focus, using any of 11 focus points. I exprimented with various focus modes, and somehow with AF-C and 3D I get best results, but it can choose focus points I do not want. With single point AF, 80% of photos are out of focus. Using liveview, 100% of photos are properly focused. I know that in liveview camera is using contrast in colors to focus, but I'm confused why it doesn't work properly via viewfinder? I did a factory reset two times (via menu and by holding MENU+INFO button for 2 seconds) as someone recommended when you have focus issues, but it didn't changed nothing, still having the same issues. Any guess? Camera is almost new, 8k shots so far, checked via shutter count. Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
