I very often use the method that Hasselblad uses with its true focus..

Set the AF to exposure priority at the AF-s setting.... use the middle af field

and point the af field to the eyes.... keep the finger on the trigger on halfpressed and recompose

then shoot the series..... that works 99 % of the cases in low light and with very high precision

even with 36MP...

Peter

Sorry, no. It does not.

Then you have bad cameras both D4 that I have and the D800 E work just as precisely as

i want it and as precisely as my H3...

Get yours fixed !

Peter

No, you just haven't found the issues.

Because I dont have them... and yes there are limits to what a system like that can do

but I know those limits and I have never had problems with them and I use the cameras

every day on every assignment when I dont use MF...

Peter

Nah, sorry. My D3s never had these issues...Why don't you check out my thread my experience with primes and the D800.

I did ! I dont have those problems on either the D4 or the D800E !

Here are samples from the D4 of a few days ago almost in the blue hour mid distance backlighting and at 3200 iso pretty wide open at 1.8 or 1.4 and the 85 1.4 G lens

.....

Peter

Mine would work here, try further away and actually wide open. Try more than just the 85 too, and at 1.4
