Photography Question 

Jeremy Case 		 

Front Focusing on Nikon D50


 
 
When I try and autofocus with my D50 I always get blurry shots. I finally figured that it always is sharpest in front of whatever I focus on so I printed a autofocus test chart took a pic and found out my camera front focuses. It works fine manually. Now I don't manually focusing but there are times when you might want to autofocus. Has anyone else had this problem and knows what to do to fix front focusing? Besides sending in for repair hopefully?

Pete H 		  Jeremy,

This may sound ridiculous, and hopefully you have checked this already.

The D-50 like many DSLR's has user selectable focus points..AND I know the D-50 is unable to "lock" the focus point.
Did you accidentally bump the navigator wheel and move the focus point?

Jeremy Case 		  No, my camera just doesn't focus in the center when I use the center focus point, however when I use the top focus point, it focuses in the center. Thanks though. I guess I'll have to send it in.
