Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 03 6:38 am)
I have the same problem when I go back to my 8700. You have to focus on something solid that is close to where the main point you want is.Holding shutter half way down, slowly move it once it is locked. The moment it finds something brighter in the back ground it will re zoom to that.It does take playing around, and is why I always use manual for macro or with my D70 now.

absence but in the mastery of his passions."
The AF uses contrasts to determine of something is in focus or not. So you'll have to have something with a resonable sharp contrast in the area of focus. Like if you're trying to focus on a sheet of paper, the AF will fail, but if there's letters on it, it will succeed. I hope I wrote something intelligable :)

Hi all, I have run into a situation I dont understand concerning my new Nikon 7900 camera. I am hoping someone can explain what is happening and how to correct it. The problem sometimes occurs while I am trying to do flower or bug macros. Sometimes I can not bring the image into focus. As the lens adjusts (using auto focus) I see the image come into focus in the preview screen (not the view finder) but then it goes past focus before it stops. I have moved closer and further from the subject in small increments to no avail. I have used the zoom while in macro mode and it also goes past focus before stopping. I have changed the lighting of the subject and still no luck. I have made some attempts to try different focus modes but I didnt seem to get any better results. I take a number of macros and usually do not have this problem but as best I can tell, it occurs when the object is 1/8 of an inch or smaller across. I thought maybe this size was just too small but I am puzzled as to why I can see it come into focus but cant get it to lock on even though I hold the shutter release at halfway as instructed by manual. This indicates to me that the size isnt the issue, but something else. Any suggestions? Thanks for any and all responses, Lee
