Aug 08, 2017 Just bought the D850 and spent the day fine tuning focus. Most of my lenses were pretty straight forward except for my Nikon 24-70/2.8. The values I got on that were +13 at 24mm, +5 at 35mm, -11 at 50mm and -8 at 70mm. I followed your advice to a T and took 12 readings (minus the 2 outliers) per distance setting. However, that is set to change with the Auto AF Fine Tune feature that is present on cameras like the Nikon D5, D500, D7500, and most likely any future mid-to-pro level cameras. (Here’s looking at you, D850.) “The typical way Auto AF Fine Tune is performed by most users leaves a LOT. Although the Nikon D5600 has a more streamlined menu than some other cameras in Nikon’s lineup, there are still a huge number of camera settings and options that you need to know about. In this article, I will cover everything you need to know about menu settings for the Nikon D5600, including a specific recommendation for every important setting. This should help you make the most of your.

The camera can store values for up to 20 lenses; to fine-tune additional lenses, attach them and repeat the steps above. Note that fine-tuning values are stored by lens name (focal length and maximum aperture) and that only one value can be stored per name, although values recorded with teleconverters attached are saved separately. To delete previously-saved values, select List saved values, highlight the desired lens, and press .
Checking Focus
Photograph the target as described in “Setup” and check focus (if the effect is hard to see in the camera monitor, transfer the picture to a computer, where it can be viewed at higher resolution).
