The D300 never fails to given me a sharp image of the foreground limb when I pan rapidly into the scene. There are other limbs 2-4 feet behind the foreground one. The closest tree limb is 10-15 feet away. I am using a Nikon 70-300 f4-5.6 in aperture priority mode with f5.6 or f8 to ensure enough depth of field. This works well even in a cluttered scene such as finding the closest tree limb in a sea of limbs. As I move the camera around with the shutter release half-depressed, the focus snaps very quickly to the closest object that fills maybe 10-15% of the screen. ![]() My D300 in AF-C mode shows no focus squares in the VF. I am hoping someone will tell me I am using the wrong setup. I was told I had the camera setup correctly for AF-C so that it would lock onto the closest object. I spoke with Nikon tech support and got little help. ![]() ![]() I am having trouble wrapping my head around the AF performance differences with the D300. So, I rented a D7200 today in hopes of liking it so much I'd buy one.
