Evening Routines @ 35mm

One of the most useful though not widely used features of the more advanced Nikon DSLRs is the AF fine tuning feature. My old D300 had it, as does the D7000. Basically, not all lenses enjoy perfect focusing around the image center. Some lenses exhibit, with some makers’ lenses seemingly more common than others, back or front focusing issues. At that juncture, you can either send the lens and body back to the service center for calibration, or see if the AF fine tuning feature in the camera body can help.

I printed out a focusing chart, DIYed a simple setup, and discovered that the 35mm had a very slight bias towards front focusing. Most of us would never notice any difference, but what the heck. I tinkered around with the fine tuning, and a few minutes later, enjoyed improved focusing results.=)

A couple of pictures of Hannah getting her teeth brushed just after her evening bath and milk. Ling is going to get her started on brushing teeth in the morning too, though that’ll mean she has to wake up even earlier now (yeah… right! LOL).
