[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 164507, member: 10784"] I do not have a 5200, do have a 5100... If I remember correctly, if the center point is NOT selected, the Assist will not turn on... (focus point is away from beam of assist). This should be in your manual.. Hunting is because of low light/low contrast.. You can lock focus on another point or revert to manual.. The Rest, well we really will need more info... What Lens? (5.6 is NOT a wide dof on an 18-55 prime) What Shooting mode are you in? Scenes? Auto? Manual? Are you shooting RAW or JPEG? Best answers would really come from posting a couple of the suspect pictures so the experts can see the issue.. If some pics are good and others not, that usually indicated "op error" or lack of understanding with what the camera is doing at that point. Good luck, pics will help and Welcome to Nikonites!
