    Tell me how to adjust the focus point in the Nikon d700 so that you can move it in the viewfinder yourself?

      Select one focus point in the menu, settings in the menu under the name 'a8', turn the zone selection lever to the lowest position (near the INFO button), and turn the lever near the joystick to the point position (position opposite to the 'L' mark). Then use the joystick to move the point.

        You must first "focus" (Press the shutter button halfway), as soon as the dot lights up, try to move it with the joystick. There is some time for this, after which it is again, as it were, blocked.

    Hi Arkady! Thanks to you, a rather large collection of lenses and cameras has already been collected over the year. There is one problem. The Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens does not want to work autofocus on Nikon d4. And only this pair is the problem. The latest firmware was made by the camera. If you put the same lens in D40, D200, D5200 autofocus works. If you put lenses from Nikon 4mm 50, Sigma 1.8-17, 50-50, 200, 85, Yongnuo 105mm, Tamron 35-24 and others in the D70, then all have autofocusing. I don’t have such skills and practice as you do. Where to look for inconsistencies with D4 & Sigma 50mm? Thanks in advance for your answers. All this was bought with the money saved when quitting smoking for 10 years and from alcohol completely for 2.5 years. True, everything is used, but it works fine.

    The d7000 has a focus adjustment. Cameras younger than seven thousand, namely the d5300, do not. Tell me you often come across nikon, nikkor, tamron, sigma lenses with front / back focus? It turns out that the seven-thousandth will be much preferable in this, but nothing good will come of the younger ones?

      Third-party vendors have a back-front more often. You can try to adjust the smaller carcass together with the lens in the service.

        1. AF in the camera can be adjusted according to the reference lens in the ASTs.
        2. If some lens then misses, then it can be adjusted separately, by itself.
        3. if it is a screwdriver lens, then it is adjusted only by changing the number and thickness of spacers under the mount.
        4. if this is a lens with a built-in focusing motor, then it can be adjusted programmatically in the SC.

    Hello. There is a Nikon D600 running under 200 thousand. frames. Recently, I began to often go into back focus. Those. back focus is not constant, but happens somewhere in 15-20% of the total number of frames. This has not happened before. Tell me, what could it be?

    I wanted to ask. I have a Nikon D5600. Is it possible to use the Focus Trap function on this camera?
    I did everything according to the instructions, but the trap does not want to work in any way. When you press the shutter button, the camera takes a picture and there is no trap as such.

    Question about focusing the D7100 in LiveView video. When focusing in LiveView, the camera “highlights” the image on the display if there is not enough light. However, this does not happen when video recording is enabled. Those. focusing takes place without increasing the brightness of the picture. Question. Is it possible to make the focus behave in the same way without turning on video recording, not “highlight” the picture. I will explain why it was needed. By itself, the 7100 is useless when recording video to a card. But it delivers via HDMI 1080p at 4: 2: 2, and when recording to a recorder, that's a completely different story. But AF with jumping brightness, as you know, is not an option, and pressing the REC button on the camera itself is a 20min limitation.

      This is a feature of the work of fresh nickname cameras with third-party optics. Some work like this, some don't work at all. Accept and live with it :(

      Fortunately, for the 11-20, autofocus is not quite a priority.

    Hello. I have such a problem, I bought nikon d5000 from my hands. There are no focus points in the viewfinders and the image is cloudy, and at the bottom of the viewfinder everything is shown by the focus point and shutter speed aperture. Tell me what is the reason? I pulled out the focusing screen, everything seems to be fine. The former owner had a camera without a lens, there was dust and a fingerprint on the mirror.

        Of course, I got used to adjusting to the sharpness of the sound signal and the blinking dot at the bottom of the viewfinder. If the reason is the focusing screen, it costs 950r for aliexpress. Replace it in 2 minutes. I thought maybe someone faced such a problem. Here is a photo.

        focus points below the mirror
        more precisely, the dots themselves are LEDs from above, projected onto a prism into the eyepiece, and the light is measured through a mirror that stands behind the mirror and is directed downward to a row of sensors

        reasons 3
        1. the mirror is knocked down, it is often turned with screws on the side - service only
        2. A cloudy mirror that directs the flow down to the sensors - cleaning
        3. Sensors from below, either blow off dust, or climbed to adjust from below

        But these are AUTO focus sensors

        The screen has nothing to do with it
        try twirling your hands first

        then remove the table
        in manual and autofocus mode

        if the focus consistently goes somewhere, turn the screws under the camera

    I now have nikon d7200. There used to be nikon d3200 (focusing there was super. I myself moved one point where I need to focus). There is no such point in Nikon d7200. he has a lot of them and they themselves decide where they want to focus. it really pisses me off. I do not use manual focusing, because I have a bad eye and one fig is all in soap. therefore we need a car. but how to make it focus automatically where I want it ????

      By default, the camera is set to focus priority and the shutter is locked until autofocus is performed. Switching to manual, lens or camera, ignores focus. Everything is logical here.
      The focusing motor may be covered or the unit is not compatible with this lens.
      Sometimes this happens with non-native lenses.

    Good afternoon. Problem on Nikon d 750 autofocus. It does not work (as if it is fixed in one position) - the lever is on it, I press the button and turn the rotary dial to select the AF - S, Af - C mode, for example, but there are no changes on the display screen for the choice and autofocus does not work - as if frozen / blocked. Manul works well when switching to it (in the camera and in the lens). Probably mechanical internal disturbances? carry for repair? Or is something inside the menu blocking?

    Is it possible to make the focus points on the nikon d810 precisely points, and not savory rectangles such that when you try to focus on the eyes at a distance, he often misses and “shoots” for a person?
    On Nikon d3300, for example, there is no such problem, there the “point” is exactly the point.

      on my d500, you can select one point that can be moved with arrows or a joystick, a group of 5, or an automatic machine when many points are turned on, depending on the scene. These rectangles in the viewfinder picture are the points, and the sensitivity of each of them on the d810 should be much stronger than in the d3300. It may be necessary to align a specific lens with a camera, especially since the pixel is small in d810 and the errors are more visible.

      Carre rouge veut dire que votre photo n'est pas dans le focus parfaitement. Essayes-vous focus manuel pour verifier si votre camera peut focuser par n'importe quel moyen.

    Good afternoon. My D90 had a problem with autofocus when shooting through the viewfinder. The motor rotates the lens to both extreme sharpness settings and stops. The sharpness confirmation flashes and the camera does not respond. Shooting in manual mode is great. In Live View shooting mode, autofocus works flawlessly.
    I tried all the options for autofocus settings on five tested lenses. Nothing helped.
    Suggest possible reasons. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Arkady, good afternoon. There is a question. There is a Nikon D7500 camera and a Nikkor 24mm 1: 2.8 AI lens. When focusing manually through Lv, is there any confirmation of focus? The focus area frame always glows red, whether the subject is in focus or not. Also, if the shutter button is pressed halfway, the situation is the same. Is it possible to get confirmation of focusing on such a bunch through Lv?

        there the chip is not the same as Lushnikov's dandelion.
        Samyang chips are wired that the lens is always in manual focus mode and confirmation is not expected.
        It can be programmed into a dandelion that the lens is in auto focus mode and with precise focusing, the camera will think that it has focused itself.
