dear all, do u ever experience problem of autofocus when you half press your shutter button? it is lik u are in the focus range, but when u autofocus, the motor in the camera just do not run and not hunting for focus. is this common or this is a serious problem? i am using D7000 btw.

Also, found sometimes the camera abit slow when react to set. let say, i am switching from other mode to A, then when i turn the aperture setting ring, the camera wont react, until after i moving to another mode again, try to autofocus with some thg, or take a snap, then only the camera react to the aperture setting ring..

any one of u all meet this problem before?

hmm.. I heard some batch of D7000 have autofocus problem. you try focus again on high contrast area, see will happen or not.

what you mean by aperture settting ring? the dial on camera?

Did you focus too close to your subject, every lens has its minimum focus range, too close it couldn't lock the focus. And sometimes focusing things that lack contrast like white wall, it'll struggle to focus too.

You can read your mode on your top LCD panel, if it shows A then you can start to adjust your settings. Shouldn't be too long for the camera to react to it, think 1 second will do.

If it's that slow that you have to autofocus something then only you can change the settings then there might be some problem to your D7000.

i think it is enough for the focus range, as i have set the camera to snap only when it is focus (forgot the exact name for this setting), it wont snap when not focus even u full press ur shutter button. it so far happen twice, i have been try out nikon centre today, but still not showing out the problem. really need to rmb what situation that cause this happen...

yea, i guess, somehow maybe too fast to turn the apperture dial once set it to A mode, will observe it again next time... laugh.gif

went nikon centre today, they told me that the firm ware for D7k is release in US few months ago by nikon US. We may try their firmware. but when i asked which version we should take, either A or B? he said, we better wait for nikon m'sia to release the official one... anyway, anyone try on that?
