[QUOTE="hark, post: 196239, member: 13196"] I took a few test photos today--some of the sky to show the oil spots and some to show the focus problem. Here is an edited photo of the sky (Nikon doesn't want an edited photo but this is darker to show the spots more readily) which represents the upper righthand quarter of the photo. The oil covers the entire photo even across the middle although this righthand section has more oil spots than the rest. [ATTACH type="full"]51760._xfImport[/ATTACH] I did take additional photos to show the focus problem, but now I'm wondering if the problem has more to do with the shutter button rather than the autofocus itself. I used a tripod and moved the single dot around the viewfinder to use for auto focusing. I don't normally focus this way, and I'm not sure that it was a problem. Usually I focus on something, hold the shutter halfway down, then recompose and shoot. I'm wondering if the focus isn't locking when the shutter is held halfway down. Yes, I know there is a button on the back of the camera which can be assigned as a focus lock, but I have chronic tendonitis in my forearms which makes it uncomfortable when trying to move my thumb into position. This D600 is the only camera where I've experienced this problem. I will take some additional photos then call Nikon to see what they recommend because I'm not sure how to take a test shot for a recomposed photo. [/QUOTE]
