Well if you read yesterday I have been having a few focus issues. I went scouring the internet for answers because it was really bugging me. I also had a lovely friend remind me about back focusing. Well the D7000 also has back button focusing issues. UGH. I found several sites that were talking about AF Fine Tuning and I had no idea what exactly it was. Well apparently on several Nikons and maybe even some Canons have an option to fine tune your focus points. I was noticing that even though I had focused on an eye it was actually focusing on the cheek. Here is an example with the flower. Click to make larger to really see the details.
f/2.2 – ISO 160 – 1/250sec
You can see in the top photo with the fine tuning turned off the focus is not on the flower it is on the rocks. Even though the focus point was on the flower.
Now on this photo with fine tuning set to -10 the focus is spot on.
f/2.2 – ISO 160 – 1/250sec
I didn’t just test it on this flower. I tested it several different times and got the same result.
I hope this helps someone. Try it out if your camera is capable and see if you notice a difference. I would love to hear what you think.
