Hi, anyone here using Nikon D7000?
Mine Nikon D7000 got back focus issue, when i shoot in wide with model, i focus on the model face, it will blur & back will be focused~
Anyone meet this problem?
i send to Nikon Service Center for warranty, but still the same problem.
Any solution to fix it?

am of d7000. faced the same problem. you can use the AF fine tune to tune the focus. the back focus is a known issue. look back at the user manual on the AF fine tune

Yes, i know this problem.
But when i set the AF tune, when i shoot a model bigger in my frame will become Front Focus?

hmm i'm not too sure cause each body back focus is different. after i set my af tune, i zoom in , zoom out.. the focus is still sharp, no problem.. i think you need to play around with the af tune until you get the best tuning.

try the diy focus chart.

i am d7000 user
as for back focus in wide n oof
1. how big is ur subject?
if ur subject id relatively small, ur chance of oof r high
2. how i the lighting condition?
back lighting needless to said, high contrast will affect
3. how u compose ur frame?
if u half press then compose that will give u chances of oof
4. hv u check ur lens?
third party lens r easily having this issue even some nikkor might face the same problem
the best is check wat above few post given link
5. wat focus area n mode?
if still , afs, if moving, afc, if not sure, afa,
however, condition will change base on ur focus habit?
focus area if auto, dynamic the chance is might be, single is ok if u use only the cross type without move much, 3d is ur luck

af fine tune will not work in zoom lens unless u average out all the focal length
