[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 386466, member: 6277"] Autofocus fine tuning there are many sites that will guide you through the process like [url=http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart]Jeffrey Friedl's Blog » Jeffrey?s Autofocus Test Chart[/url] It is totally reversible since it is just a setting in your menu and it will let you do any and all lenses that you have. Just remember the number you started on or if it is off to start with turn it on and test it and if yoiu are not happy turn it off. I went through all the setting and got it better but still was not totally happy so I bought a program called [URL="http://www.reikan.co.uk/focalweb/index.php/versions/focal-pro/"]FoCal[/URL] You can follow the link to see the details. It is not completely automated for the D7000 but it will tell you what you need to change as it goes through the testing. The cost of the program is less than sending it off to Nikon for them to adjust and you can do it on all your lenses and any future lenses you buy. Also if you have more cameras you can adjust them also. If it is a big deal to you to have sharp photo then this is the first step you need to do. One other note and I think Marcel noting it also. AF-C is more for moving subjects so AF-S would be better for still subjects. Use the focus and recompose method. A number of people here including myself have changed over to the back button method of focus and it works great for the focus and recompose method. [/QUOTE]
