[QUOTE="aced19, post: 239448, member: 9734"] I think you just missed the focus. Because the whole board is in focus behind the player. Shooting at 5.6 if you would have been on the player he would have been in focus. I could be wrong but I think you just missed it. Here is my settings with the D7000.
