I am having a terrible time with my d7100. I purchased it back in Feb as a Refurb product from Adorama, and everything seemed fine for a while. I primarily do portraits so It wasnt until my daughter started her sports later in the spring that I discovered an issue with the AF and by that time the 90 day warranty was gone.
The issue I am having is with moving targets. Any attempt to shoot an approaching subject is met with back focus. On a stationary target, everything is perfect, which means that I have to turn on AF fine tune if I know that I am going to shoot a moving subject and then turn it off again when they go stationary which isnt the most efficient thing to do.
I have this issue on every lens I have. I have tried every AF setting available with no success. as far as the current settings on the camera, I have it set to AF-C and D9. It is almost like instead of predicting focus forward on an approaching subject, it is predicting focus back... Here are a couple images I shot yesterday. you can see in the first image, although I focused on the front girl, the one in the rear is more closely in focus, and on the shot of the boy, if you look at his feet, you can see the grass area a couple feet behind him is in sharp focus. Does anyone have an idea if there is something I can do to correct it or am I going to have to bite the bullet and send it for service?
