How was AF configured, and what about subject contrast?

All phase detection AF system will struggle if the contrast is low.

Single Shot AF/ Local

Contrast varies, from strong to poor, regardless AF struggled bad in back lit subjects. I would it is just as bad as the 5D2 or ..... worst.....

My nikon D800 has Phase detection and has no issues with back lit, obviously my 5D3 doesn't either.

Right now I would say the AF on my NEX7 single shot out performs the A99... very sad.

I just have to ask.  Why do you have a d800, 5dmarkIII, A99 and NEX7?
