Hi all. New member here but a frequent reader.
I'm new to the d3200 platform, but have a little camera background. I'm pretty flustered at the moment with an issue I just cannot figure out.
All seemed well yesterday while shooting, but this morning is a different story. While using a 55-200 lens and zooming in on distant objects, the camera refuses to focus; either automatically or manually. I can extend the zoom all the way out and get items within 20ft from me to focus fast and fine, but anything farther away will not come into focus.
I have tried each if the differing focus point settings and nothing has helped. Also made sure that the lens was on auto. In manual focus, I can't even get it to focus clearly on distant items.
The camera is a week old and focused perfectly fine yesterday.
Please help. I'm sure it's probably me missing something here. I'm on vaca right now and it killing me not being able to take good pics.
Thanks!
Dave
