I swear.....this feature on the D 300 is really a miracle. Something i always wanted for my faithful D 70. I tried the firmware upgrade provided by Nikon later to correct backfocus. It was better,..but not as good as i had hoped it to be. Still pics are not tack sharp. Why does not Nikon release this "auto focus fine tuning" feature for various lenses as a firmware upgrade? We would all be hugely benefitted. Are you listening Nikon????? Possible????????????????

Im a frustrated user of a Nikon d 70 residing in India...where we have no Nikon service centers to help us out on any case of any major issues with a camera.For years i have been blaming myself for the poor photograph outputs and kept changing lenses but nothing seemed to help.Then i came across photo.net and learnt about the backfocus issues with the nikon d 70.i tried twiddling with the AF stopper and used the focus test chart to try and improve the focus,...but it was never perfect.I need a little help from all of you gentlemen out there.Im uploading a pic taken straight out of the camera,...and posting it for u to have a look and give me a feedback as to my camera really has a focus issue or not.Im using the 18-70DX nikkor kit lens.

 

In the following pic,...i have actually focussed on the lady in the middle (single area AF) with only the middle AF sensor area.But take a look in full res,and you would notice that the camera has actually focussed on a camera a guy is holding to the right of her.Observe how sharp the focus is on the nikon cam and the black strap.also notice the sky blue sunlight shade behind the ladies which seems to be in great focus too! only the lady on whom i focussed in the middle is not in sharp focus.My question is....can it happen that my middle AF sensor may have changed position....or is it a backfocus issue?Im utterly confused....plz help!!<div></div>
