Re: My new D800 has Left/Right AF issues too :(
In reply to TOF guy, 3 months ago

I took some pictures while the D800 was tethered to my laptop via LR4, and I think it focuses using PD, as I can't switch on Live View, and in the viewfinder I see PC on the bottom right. Anyway doing so, I'm getting pretty sharp pictures, from the left most AF point, since I'm not touching the camera at all, its making a big difference in Auto focusing, after doing this I'd really suggest anyone testing their camera, to do it either tethered or wireless.

I can't yet roll over my finger over the shutter to keep it smooth enough, I think AF is only done at the time of shutter release even in exposure delay mode, so if the camera even bends by a little bit while Auto-focusing, it will show up in the picture. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, ready to got to bed now But I'm at happy that I don't believe my camera has Left AF issue, I'll take a few more pictures and post the findings.
