[QUOTE="Griso, post: 549787, member: 36326"] Hi Ian and welcome! I'm know nothing, but here's my thoughts; 1) are you in AF-C (continuous) or AF-S (single) generally AF-C for moving subject and AF-S for stationary. If the vehicle above was moving, I'd be in AF-C and keep the shutter button half pressed to keep it in focus. If it was stationary, I'd choose AF-S. Don't use AF-A (Auto) as you don't know what it'll choose - you want to decide AF-C or S. 2) You can use the free Nikon software NX-D to show you where the focus point is and you can see if it's where you think it is! 3) I generally use single point focus. Sometimes for birds in flight etc I'll expand it to 9 or 21 points. However, if you use D-9 or 21 etc on the vehicle above, you may not be sure exactly where it'll focus, so I'd use single point. 4) I don't use the 3D tracking, not fast or reliable enough to be useful (to me, but then my camera isn't known for it's AF prowess!). I hope this is of some help and sorry if I've pitched at the wrong level. [/QUOTE]
