[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 609611, member: 25095"] First, howdy and welcome to Nikonites. It might also be good if the young lady with the D7100 were also a member here, to help with the discussion back and forth on this. From what you've described, it's hard to quickly diagnose without some sample images of the problem that could be looked at. There could potentially be multiple problems either conspiring together, or at least contributing to the confusion. The buffer being full shouldn't have anything to do with the AF system. The buffer being full sounds related to the extra exposures that she's seeing, when she doesn't recall firing the shutter. It's possible that the drive mode for switched from "S" (single) to "Ch" (continuous high) accidentally, which has happened to me on occasion. The AF issues sound like she's set for single point focus, and possible the focus point has been moved to the lower right accidentally. That happens as well. Again, it's hard to say without seeing where the camera thought it was focusing. A reset should be resetting the AF mode (but would not change the drive mode from Ch back to S, that's a manual switch). It could well be a problem with the body, but without a little more info I'm just shooting in the dark at possibilities. [/QUOTE]
