Is the flash still on the camera when you do this? If so, check your camera settings as well as the camera may be over-riding you.
If the flash is not on the camera, some of the settings for custom settings can only be changed with it on the camera via camera commands.
If you do not have the manuals, you can get them here: http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/Speedlights/SB-800.pdf http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/SB800_techniques.pdf
you can use a laser pointer or mini flashlight point at the subject to replace the AF assist lamp. When the AF locked, turn the light off then press the shutter.
Are you pertaining to the Focus mode? If so you can unlock it using the Focus mode selector lock switch. Press the Focus mode selector button to change the focus mode.
S-AF- Single AF M-F- Manual Focus C-AF- Continuous Focus
I would like to know more information regarding this matter.
hi there
the square with the p in it is telling you the camera is in auto focus mode (it is selected by the mode ring on the top of the camera)
there is a switch on the left side of the lens body which should be set to AF
the camera is now in point and shoot mode which is the best setting unless you know what you are doing with all the manual settings.
to select movie mode turn the mode dial to the movie clip icon
press the menu button and use the directional arrows to select the 30 fps option
this is the highest setting
it will give you about 30 mins recording time with a 1 gig card.
Hi, I have never had focus problems with my FX7. I suggest you set the AF mode to 1-area-focusing. This mode is quicker than the 9-area-focusing.
To eliminate any possibility that the blurry photos are caused by camera shake, I also suggest placing the camera on a tripod (or setting it down on a flat surface) and using the self-timer to release the shutter. At this point you can also turn off the image stabiliser. A well lit outdoor subject is probably preferable for this test, as low contrast scenes sometimes cause the auto focus problems.
If the photos under these conditions are still blurry, then you probably have a defective autofocus. Otherwise...
