[QUOTE="nickt, post: 610504, member: 4923"] You don't mention your focus modes. A basic starting point would be to make sure you are in single point and that the center point is selected. Next, be aware of your servo mode: af-s or af-c, or af-a. (I would avoid af-a for now). For af-s or af-c, get into your menu and be sure both are set for focus priority. If you are using one of those modes and you are set to release priority, you will be able release the shutter even if the camera is not finished focusing. That can give you random out of focus shots if you are too quick on the shutter button. Focus priority mode won't let you fire unless the camera sees focus. Also, if you are in af-c mode along with single point on a small subject, falling off target at the moment you click the shutter can cause you to miss focus. Once you are sure of all this, you can do some testing to see if autofocus needs some tuning. [/QUOTE]
