Changing the Fine-Tuning Setting

Adjust the fine-tuning for the lens you have mounted on the camera by following these steps:

1.If you haven’t been running the test described previously, mount the CPU-equipped lens you want to fine-tune on the Nikon D7000. The camera will automatically recognize the lens you are using during the “calibration” process and display its name on the screen.

2.If you haven’t already done so, choose AF Fine tune (On/Off) and turn it ON.

3.Select Saved Value.

4.Press the multi selector up/down buttons to tell the D7000 to adjust the autofocus from +20 (move the focal point away from the camera to fix front-focus problems) to –20 values (move the focal point toward the camera to fix back focus). (See Figure 11.23.)

5.Press OK when the value you want is entered. You may have to run the test described above several times and use some trial and error to determine the correct adjustment.
