[QUOTE="rece2000, post: 547808, member: 15932"] I typically stick to the autofocus points in the center when taking photos. However, I have some instances, if I'm shooting portrait, where I would like to use the focus points, typicially, on the far right (which become the ones on top when I turn my camera). Taking some shots the other day, when I zoomed in, I noticed the shots were very fuzzy--not sharp at all. I was using a Tamron lens, so to double check, I tested it with my Nikon 50mm today. The shots taken with the more central points were pretty sharp, but again, on both the far left and ride sides, they were fuzzy. It looked to me, at least with the Tamron lens, that the area below the actual focus point used was sharper, so maybe it's just off a bit. I know the central points tend to be more accurate, etc, but should the photos be so clearly out of focus on the ends? If I use the one point in the far top left corner, it won't even focus. I have to put it in the middle left for it to auto focus. Not sure if this is just something with the camera, of if I will need to send it in. I can contact Nikon and talk with them, but just wondering if anyone else has the same issue--if it's a 5300 issue, or my singular camera issue... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
