[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 493710, member: 12496"] You could verify what the lens can do by using Manual focus once. Manually focus it for sharpest clearest view in the viewfinder, or on the zoomed in Live View screen. I'm kinda guessing, but use AF-S instead of AF-C. And you have up to 39 dynamic focus points that the camera can select. if you want it to use the One that you select, use Single Point AF. D5200 Reference manual, page 36. The Reference manual is a much larger manual, available here: [URL="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/24/D5200.html"]Nikon | Download center | D5200[/URL] Stars: The infinity marking is not precise. A popular way to focus on stars or Moon is to use Live View, then zoom the LCD view greatly so the scene is seen greatly magnified, enough to see a few bright stars, and then focus manually to make those stars sharp on the magnified Live View screen.
