D2 struggling to AF

Recommended Posts

Hi, it may be my imagination but since I dropped my D2 the other day it is finding it difficult to auto focus in anything apart from perfect light....does this sound like I may have damaged something?:confused:

 

Andy is right. A check up wouldn't / couldn't hurt. But perhaps before you do that, you might check a few things to make sure it's not just your paranoia or imagination. ;)

 

Make sure the lens barrel didn't get bumped to Macro (this is slower). Make sure you're not trying to get too close and causing the auto-focus to hunt. And, the camera has never been a stunning performer in low light. So, with that in mind, run a few controlled 'tests' in variable lighting situations from good solid daylight to maybe indoor light during the day.

 

Give it a try... if you're still convinced the performance has changed, then by all means send it in.

 

Good luck.

Thanks guys, I will do a few more tests but at the moment I can only use AF on clear sunny days:( - it's definately not on Macro, current settings are AF, A & F2.0 with ISO @ 100....anything you would change?

I know you are talking 'auto-focus'; but have you done some searching focus tests using manual focusing? At least that would prove that the lens mechanism is OK. Also, use a freshly charged battery just in case it is a power issue.
