[QUOTE="Dave_IL, post: 347622, member: 30481"] Okay, here goes it. First is the photo as jpeg, second is screen print of ViewNX2 showing focus system used and what the software thinks is the focal point. The photo is not too bad but not nearly as sharp as it should be. Wife says the viewfinder showed more than 1 "focus box" and can't say they were logically arrayed. In our tests, we saw lots of focal points in ViewNX2 that were not even close to in the same plane. Finished reading the article for about the third time. Mansurov has a good explanation but it is by necessity general and does not specifically go into how you set the camera. We have read the manual several times and experimented with the Auto Focus button and dials. We think it is possible to select stuff that is not compatible and confuses the camera (not to mention us). In some cases, the camera does not display ANY "focus boxes" in the viewfinder and we have no idea what it is choosing to focus upon (and not surprisingly the photo is completely out of focus). Obviously we need some help or references that explain specific settings. One thing we may do, is go to our local camera shop (bought the D7000 there) and seek their help. Not sure they know more than you do, though. Thanks for sticking with us. [ATTACH=CONFIG]108855._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]108856._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
