[QUOTE="Rexer John, post: 151128, member: 12691"] I went into my D5100 body and made a slight adjustment to the auto focussing because I wasn't totally happy with it. There are two hex screws inside the body with access through the lens opening. Don't mess about with it unless you are 100% confident in calibrating it. Take several photos using live view and then the same picture with normal autofocus. Try at different distances between camera and and subject, and at different focal lengths. If you are happy with both images you don't have a focussing problem. My camera is definitely better after calibrating it but different lenses have less or more front or rear focus bias. The D5100 doesn't let you adjust for different lenses but I believe some higher end cameras have a digital setting to allow for these differences between lenses. [/QUOTE]
