Discover Why Image Area Under Focus Point Not in Sharp Focus - Part II

I guess this problem has prompted some perfectionists among us to upgrade to the Nikon D700 or D3/X! But at least, let me finish the explanation as I attempt also to bring some solutions to the table.

What if the autofocus for one reason or another isn’t working? Then there are a couple of tricks you can resort to.

These are:

- Manual Selection of autofocus points

- Focus lock (also known to us as AF-L)

- Engage Autofocus assist beam (also known as AF Illumination)

- Engage AF-C focus mode (for continuous focusing)

- Move into Manual focus

- Get the Nikon Speedlight SB-800/900 to turn on the Multi-Area AF-Assist Illuminator
