I am using a Nikon D7200 paired with the Nikkor 80-400 f/4.5-5.6G ED VR. I am getting sharp images when shooting with the Focus Limit Switch on the lense in the Full position for subjects under 19.69 feet. If i back up to much more than 20 feet and switch the lense to ∞–6 m for over 19.69 feet the images are not in focus. Have tried this on 2 different D7200 bodies with the same results. Not sure if there is a setting or switch I may have in the wrong position. Tried using spot/centre-weighted/& Matrix. I almost always shoot in AF-C for owls; raptors and birds.
Lense switches I have verified are:
(1) Focus Mode Switch: A/m
(2) The Focus Limit Switch: ∞–6 m
(3) Vibration Reduction ON/OFF Switch: VR On
(4) Vibration Reduction Mode Switch: Active
(5) Lock: Unlocked
* Body is set to AF.
I uploaded 2 images, not the same subject but the deer was taken with lense in Full position. Bird was taken with lense switch in ∞–6 m due to distance. Images are directly from camera; unedited except for a crop so can be accepted for upload. By looking at the deer photo the camera is working fine.
