AF Fine Tune
Troubled by lenses that don’t focus exactly where they should, producing back-focus or
front-focus problems? No need to send your lens and/or camera into Nikon for servic-
ing. The Nikon D7000 allows you to fine-tune focus for up to 12 different lenses. You’ll
probably never need to use this feature, but if you do, it’s priceless. To fine-tune your
lenses, first perform some tests to see just how much fine-tuning is required. The only
problem I’ve run into is that with some lenses, particularly short-focal length lenses,
using large negative values (–10 to –20) to move the focal point closer to the camera
sometimes results in being unable to focus to infinity. If you run into that, you may be
better off sending the lens to Nikon so they can recalibrate the focus for you.
This menu option has four choices, shown in Figure 10.8:
■ AF Fine tune (On/Off). Enable/disable application of your AF Fine tuning
changes.
■ Saved value. View or enter an adjustment for the lens currently mounted on your
camera.
