I'll ask the usual question... show us something that you are unhappy with, leaving the exif info intact and we'll try to tell you where you have gone wrong....

Single point AF, AF-C, F/7.1 or greater, shutter speed 1/1000th or greater (in an ideal sunny world)

It's always sunny ... in truth I rarely set it to anything else, certainly never use Auto White Balance, as I always shoot raw I can change it in CaptureNX2 anyway if it needs warming up a bit.
