D850 Auto Fine Tuneeverarts

For shooting stills, Nikon’s autofocus system is pretty solid. I’ve thought so for a long time. Even my ageing Nikon N90s could keep up just fine with most everything I’ve thrown at it. Several cameras later, I picked up a D300s. The 51 point predictive 3D autofocus tracking just blew me away. Every Nikon I’ve. NIKON D850 + 70-200mm f/2.8 @ 102mm, ISO 125, 1/250, f/2.8. Second, lower ISO can be useful when photographing long exposures during the day, say moving people, water, etc. Sure, you can always stop down your lens to a smaller aperture, but at the expense of diffraction. Anything past f/8 on a high-resolution sensor negatively impacts image.

  • Steve Perry has a good video about this, check it out. The info you need starts around the 6m 30s mark.

    If I take a good photo it's not my camera's fault.

    If then lens won’t AF it cannot work, so that’s self explanatory. It definitely won’t work if you have the camera or the lens set to manual focus.
    If I take a good photo it's not my camera's fault.
  • When I have it sorted I will let you all know what the problem was and how to set it ..
  • SOLUTION.
    Tried all my lenses and all said 'fine tune not Available' So in frustration pushed the two green reset buttons and its working . Must admit its better on the 200-500 and 100-400Tam . It made a right mess of the 28-300 giving +15 when its +5.
    Checked all with the conventional inclined rule method and am now happy.
    does not seem to matter about the mode, focused in LV using the shutter half press and then the movie and af buttons . Single point AF of course.
  • I have also been told by a reliable source that if you get this fine tune not available message you can clear it by coming out of LV moving the single centre focus point about and back to the centre with the multi dial .When you go back to LV you will not get the message.+
