Hi all,
Having a slight issue with my Nikon D7100. I have it set up for back button focusing, single AF point, continuous focus mode (AFC). When I use the centre AF point, the camera is now starting to struggle to lock on to the subject - the lens seems to briefly lock on, then just starts to hunt backwards and forwards randomly.
After a bit of testing tonight (tried different lenses, AFS mode, 9 AF points, cleaned the lens contact points, etc.), it appears that using any other AF point apart form the centre one, the camera focus works fine. But then resetting back to the centre point, it just wont 'lock' and hunts.
Any ideas?? Can an AF Point go 'bad' or is it likely to be some dust on the sensor or something (I had the camera professionally cleaned a few weeks ago, and it certainly never had an issue before that - maybe that is something to do with it ??).
Thanks, Richard.
