[QUOTE="Kias, post: 96439, member: 9496"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]22330._xfImport[/ATTACH] This thread will hopefully document my trip through learning my new D7000. There appears to be one, maybe two options on this camera. I'll be learning for years to come with this camera! So enough jibber jabber. After reading through Darrel Young's Mastering the D7000 book, off I went for a trip around the house! First I found this angry looking Greater Antillian Bullfinch sitting in my tree. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22331._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then I wandered out to the chicken coop to find a chicken! Shocking I know... [ATTACH=CONFIG]22332._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is when I realized I really had no control over where the camera was focusing. I thought you were able to control it with the control pad. I'm doing something wrong here. So back to the books! Turns out I was trying to the move the focus point while I had the shutter button held halfway down. (Which I thought was a rather hard trick to do in the first place!) I find out you move the focus point BEFORE touching the shutter button! (Yes, it's much easier that way!) So off to practice my new found skill! I probably took twenty pictures trying to focus on the eye here. I finally set the camera down and took a close look. OH!!! The eye isn't out of focus, it's just drawn that way! When I blow this up to 100% everything looks out of focus though. I think it might just be regular noise as this is at ISO 640. I'll try again when the sun comes up with a lower ISO. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22333._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
