[QUOTE="nickt, post: 558095, member: 4923"] A few things to mention. Make sure you are in actual single point focus mode and not just seeing a single point in the viewfinder. That's on my mind because somebody asked about that recently. They were concerned because they only saw a single point even though they were in 9 point mode. Sounds like you got it right, but worth mentioning just in case. In your playback menu, you can set the camera to show your focus point highlighted when you playback your image. That might help you figure out the problem. Also make sure your af-s servo mode is set for focus priority. That is the default for af-s, so if you haven't messed with it, it should fine. If it was in release priority, you could get random focus since the shutter could fire before the focus settles. As for washed out pictures, make sure you are in matrix metering mode. You still might need to adjust things for conditions, but if you accidentally left the camera in spot or center weighted metering, you can get unexpected results. [/QUOTE]
