Parallel to this thread, I raised the D600's AF-A behavior anomaly with Nikon support. After at least five responses on their part to the effect that there was no problem, I finally got them to...

Yes, good point. But, just to be sure, I had someone move an object, which I followed with the camera. That is, I was strictly adhering to the manual's discussion of focus-following a moving...

Good catch; thanks. Maybe I'm not crazy then.

Well, my D7000 has been sold, so I can't compare it to the D600 side-by-side. But, as great a DSLR as the D7000 is, the amazingly low D600 noise at most any ISO allows you to "focus" on the...

First, I am more than critical of Nikon support, which usually responds to problem with, essentially, "no problem here, please move along, nothing to see here."That said, I had a look at my sensor...

I upgraded from the D7000 to the D600 recently. And, yes, it's worth it. I have the same primes (50, 85) but the f1.8 versions. Both are absolutely great with the D600, the later being a perfect...

I sold my D7000 in order to buy the D600, otherwise I would have done this myself.A friend has a D7000, and I asked him to try the FAIL scenario that I opened this thread with  on the D7000 . The...

I do now use AF-C to be sure the focus is correct but still prefer AF-A because there's less hunting around (and less noise).

I've been going back and forth several times with Nikon support. Now I'm told that Single-point autofocus is not to be used with AF-A mode because the former is intended (only) for stationary...

Same here. Setting to "off" did not affect the behavior I originally described.

As has been the case every time I've tried Nikon support, I get someone who either has no idea about the camera in question or who directly contradicts what the manual says the camera should...

Does it work with your gear when starting near, and then going far (where it does not work for me)?

Yes, I think it qualifies as a genuine bug. I've reported it to Nikon, so let's see if/when they fix it.I only discovered this problem after having a lot of out-of-focus pictures (at f1.8) during a...

The subject appears to make no difference. I've reproduced the problem in two ways--moving the camera to focus on two objects at greater or lesser distances, as well as having someone move an...

I just tried another lens, the Nikkor 50mm f1.8D, and the problem remains.

I just noticed what I think is a D600 anomaly when shooting in AF-A mode, Single-point AF selected. The lens is the Nikkor 85mm f1.8G. The problem is the same in whatever exposure PASM mode is...
