[QUOTE="hark, post: 846237, member: 13196"] Are you using AF-C? If so, depending on the camera's settings, the image DOESN'T need to be in focus for the shutter to fire when in AF-C. So the camera might not have achieved focus when this was shot. If this is why, then you'd want to check your settings for AF-C Priority Selection. Here's a Nikon link which explains it.
