Hey everyone,
I've been having this issue for about a year now. When I'm doing a studio session (which is only a few time a year, but still need this fixed) I have major trouble getting the focus. Below are a few examples.
My camera doesn't focus exactly where my focus points are. I will look at the picture straight from my camera, and the focus was RIGHT on the face/eyes. But when I upload it to Lightroom, the focus of off. If you look at the pictures below, the first one is the entire picture straight from the camera, and the second is zoomed into the eyes. See what I mean? The focus isn't tack sharp. Sometimes it will be, but I promise it's not b/c I can't catch the focus, I shoot ALL the time outside and never have this trouble. Plus, when I use my d7000, I never have this problem so it's something in the camera. Hopefully just a setting.
Straight from camera, no editing so no judgement on that please.
AlienBees 800 with Nikon D600 + 24-70 2.8. Each setting is a little different but I'm always on AF-C priority, raw, single focus point (I choose). First picture: 1/200 sec; f/4.0; ISO 400 Manual; Spot metering. Second picture: 1/200 sec; f2.8 (I usually always shoot at f/4 indoor b/c of this trouble) ISO 160.
ANY help will be appreciated. I honestly have no clue how to fix this and need to nail the focus at least 95% of the time like I do outdoor. Thank you! I've got a few errands to run so I won't be on the computer but I will check as soon as I can. Let me know if you can think of something!
