Fine-tune focus for up to 20 lens types. Use only as required; AF tuning is not recommended in most situations and may interfere with normal focus. Auto fine-tuning is available in live view (0How boot camp for mac works. Auto AF Fine-Tuning). We recommend that you perform fine-tuning at a focus distance you use frequently; if you perform focus-tuning at a short focus distance, for example, you may find it less effective at longer distances.

• On: Turn AF tuning on.
• Off: Turn AF tuning off.

Auto autofocus fine tuning not available at these autofocus settings? My D500 Auto Fine Tune workflow: 1) Mount to tripod. Apr 21, 2016  Among the features introduced in Nikon's new D5 and D500 DSLRs, we're very excited by automated AF Fine Tune. This feature allows users to quickly fine-tune their specific camera bodies and lenses, maximising the chances of a sharp shot and avoiding the lengthy process of trial-and-error tuning that was previously necessary. Aug 08, 2017  Do you have a Nikon camera that features Auto AF Fine Tune? If so, then this video is just what you need to get the most from it! When Auto AF Fine Tune first came it, it was pretty exciting – In fact, I think we all had visions of never going through a tedious lens calibration process ever again.

Tune AF for the current lens (CPU lenses only). Press 1 to move focal point away from camera or 3 to move focal point toward camera; choose from values between +20 and –20. Values for up to 20 lens types can be stored. Only one value can be stored for each type of lens.

List previously saved AF tuning values. To delete a lens from the list, highlight the desired lens and press O (Q). To change a lens identifier (for example, to choose an identifier that is the same as the last two digits of the lens serial number to distinguish it from other lenses of the same type in light of the fact that Saved value can be used with only one lens of each type), highlight the desired lens and press 2. A menu will be displayed; press 1 or 3 to choose an identifier and press J to save changes and exit.

Live View Photography

Tuning is not applied to autofocus during live view photography.

Saved Value

Only one value can be stored for each type of lens. If a teleconverter is used, separate values can be stored for each combination of lens and teleconverter.

Auto AF Fine-Tuning

Auto AF fine-tuning is performed as described below.

1. Ready the camera.

   Mount the camera on a tripod and aim the camera at a flat, high-contrast subject parallel to the camera focal plane. Note that auto AF fine-tuning works best at maximum aperture and may not function in dark surroundings.

2. Start live view.

   Rotate the live view selector to C and press the a button.

3. Adjust focus settings.

   Rotate the focus-mode selector to AF and use the AF-mode button and command dials to select the following:

   • Autofocus mode: AF-S
   • AF-area mode: 5 (wide), 6 (normal), or 3 (pinpoint)

4. Select the center focus point.

   Press the center of the multi selector to select the center focus point.

5. Focus.

   Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus, then zoom in on the view through the lens to confirm that the subject is in focus. Focus can be adjusted manually if necessary.

6. Perform auto AF fine-tuning.

   Press the AF-mode and movie-record buttons simultaneously and keep them pressed until the dialog shown in Step 7 is displayed (this should take slightly over two seconds).

7. Save the new value.

   Highlight Yes and press J to add the AF fine-tuning value for the current lens to the saved values list (CPU lenses only). Note that only one value can be stored for each type of lens.

8. Enable AF fine-tuning.

   In the camera setup menu, select AF fine-tune > AF fine-tune (On/Off), then highlight On and press J.

D500 Setting For Auto Fine Tune On D750

architect7 Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nikon Auto AF fine tune does not work, here is why (D500, possibly D5) Update: Per my post further below, Nikon auto AF fine tune is missing the last two steps in the process it attempts to use. 5/3: So I had a revelation today after shooting 2k photos of eagles and ospreys with varying results. Apparently the auto AF fine tune feature uses the first number it matches with the focus attained via Live View AF. That's it, no further calibration takes place in the camera. This would explain the extremely mixed results people are seeing with this feature. Those of you familiar with the dot tune method of AF calibration will agree that using a number at either extreme of the confirmed focus range will not be adequate and best results are found when adjusting AF fine tune to a number in the middle. Sure enough, my testing tonight after using dot tune is yielding far better results. Hopefully Nikon plans to fix this feature in a future firmware update. Until then, keep using dot tune. 5/1: After laboring over auto AF fine tune on my new D500 last week across my 3 super-teles and various TC combos, I was ready to chuck it all off a cliff. Then after reading various users' feedback, I decided to print a Siemens Star for my target subject: Siemens Star So far the results have been extremely close, +/- 2 at the most with not a single random outlier. I would imagine this also works well for the D5. Hope this helps! Edit: Another possibly better target option is this cross-hatch chart created by snapsy (also posted below). Thanks snapsy!

It is very easy to get into a situation where the errors in the af system each time are greater than any tolerancing issue. Worth also noting amount of light affects things. Less than 9EV (which is quite bright) and things get worse quickly.

It's for this coffee pot: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-BVMC-SJX33GT-Programmable-Coffeemaker/dp/B0047Y0UQO?ie=UTF8&colid=32QN285EG5QF0&coliid=I34RZ6Q7Z76L7H&ref_=hit_wr_dt_vr_md_pt Not kidding, gives more more consistent results than the actual target for fine tuning that I have, and the result is the camera being quite accurate with all of my lenses. Except the 14-24 because the value needed for about 14-17 is very different than for 18-24. Good times.

Did you reach this conclusion by performing both a DotTune and Auto AF-Tune using the same established focus in LV (ie, on a tripod, the same target and focus, doing a DotTune and Auto AF-Tune right after each other)?

Yes, all while using the cross hatch image you shared above. Same distance, focal length, etc. Same conclusion with 5 different attempts at 500mm on my 200-500mm f5.6E, w/ and w/o TC-14E III (5 separate attempts with the TC as well). This was actually the exact same behavior I observed with my 500mm f4D AF-S II w/ and w/o TC-14E II but I did not realize what was happening that day until my testing with the 200-500 last night.

Live View AF functions perfectly with normal subjects so probably a different issue than what affects the 80-400..just more weirdness to stoke the fire.

I believe she's an electrical engineer by trade but does a lot of in-depth technical analysis on her Nikon bodies. She's done a lot of work analyzing its AF system (like this thread). She's also renown for putting a ton of clicks on her D3/D4 series bodies - I think she's taken a few million photos in total. May 09, 2016 at 08:59 PM 2end Nikon D500 Settings Guide
