[QUOTE="tpneumat, post: 187292, member: 16061"] Just did a quick test. For this, put my camera on a tripod and used my nikkor 1.8 af-s 50mm prime lens in Aperture priority mode with lowest aperture setting. Focus mode AF-S Single point. Plain and simple, autofocus does not work on my camera (and this is after sending in for calibration). First shot, lens set to Manual focus. I used viewfinder to place center dot and did manual focus on the 3 (15 inches).

[URL]http://dilltree.smugmug.com/Other/QuickShare/i-BfqmdXj/0/X3/DSC_4209-X3.jpg[/URL] Was able to repeat this over and over. In every case, when using auto-focus, the viewfinder showed image in focus but the resulting image is out of focus...not just slightly out of focus, but significantly. [/QUOTE]
