[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 432014, member: 13090"] When shooting with my D7100, these are the general things I do ensure sharp focus: [LIST] [*]Stick to the rule of keeping the shutter speed equal to focal length x 1.5; this is a must. [*]Use AF-C with Dynamic 9 Point (I also like AF-S Single Point (I'm assuming stills here)). [*]Turn off VR when using Nikon lenses (seriously, just shut it OFF!) [*]Use Quiet Shutter mode (takes a little getting used to but this really does help in my experience.) [/LIST] One last thing... There is GOOD shutter button technique and there is BAD shutter button technique. Learn to isolate your shutter button pressing finger from the rest of your hand. It's natural for all the fingers of the hand to want to "squeeze" when you start to move a single finger. Learn NOT to do that. Smooooth, continuous, light pressure until the shutter completes its cycle. Seriously... It's important. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
