[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 62316, member: 8635"] As many of you know I have a Nikon D7000 Tips thread that I write and it includes a long list of TIPS that you might find helpful. If you use My TIP #19 you will be able to achieve focus lock an any stationary subject in extreme low light conditions. Please check out my thread listed below. I am going to cut and paste TIP #19 here for your convenience. Jeff Tip #19 Having trouble with auto focus in low light Having trouble with auto focus in low light Ever go out at night and the light is so low you just can't get your camera to focus! Well I have a simple answer. Here is what you do I have had this happen a few times and have found that with your camera on single area focus point activated on the spot you want to focus on, if your camera will not focus, all you need to do is buy a laser light pen at Walmart for about $2.50 and point it at the spot that your focus point is on and the camera will lock on followed by the little green light in the viewfinder magically appearing and your shot will be in focus. This of course is for stationary subjects taken in dark surroundings but it will make your camera lock on to the focus quickly. Remember to not point the light in people's or animal's eyes and it is probably not a good idea to point it at the sensor of your camera. Hope this will help you out! [/QUOTE]
