Does your lens have some kind of Vibration Reduction or Optical Stabilization? If so, try turning it off; I've found VR can cause as many problems as it solves. When your focus point is larger than what you're focusing ON, remember that your camera is actually using an *array* of focus points to get a lock on focus (unless you're using Single Point, which I don't really suggest). To see the focus array, look through the viewfinder while pressing and holding down the AF/M button on the camera body (the button right below the button you press to remove the lens). Pressing this button illuminates the focus array in the viewfinder. This is how things work on a D7100, but I can't recall if we are discussing 7100's or 7000's or both; I assume it works the same on both cameras but if not...Anyway, on the D7100 you can choose between something like 1, 9, 21 and 51 focus points for the auto focus array. To choose a different number of points in the focus array, press and hold the AF/M button just like before and at the same time turn the sub-command dial (the one on the front of the camera) and look at the LCD. You'll see the different options scroll by as you turn the dial. I use either a 9 or 21-point array but that's just a personal choice. You might try this and see if it helps you get better auto focus results.....</blockquote>
