Link with 2 test shots of a book

Please find the link above with 2 nef files and let know what do you think

I don't have access to those. Looks like you took the one I can see above in low light. What shutter speed did you use? On a tripod?

Access to the link given to you just now. Shutter Speed was 1/125th on a tripod.

This a photo with 3D focus and is blurred because of misfocusing

I don't think 3D would work very well on a 2 dimensional poorly lit image like that. Take some images of moving subjects.

Have uploaded a fee photos with single point af and two moving birds photos. Also another with 1st gen z50 which seems to be sharper than my z50ii

Hi,

I need your help to resolve the issue of slight misfocusing on all af modes except pin point and single point mode. Is this an issue with few z50iis or could I have done any wrong setting in camera(i did rest the camera setting but the issue persits). Thanks

Hello Zeeshan,
I have noticed the same yesterday wrt the Z50ii and recently arrived 28-400mm lens - I setup and tested the camera for my wife yesterday, and I thought it might be the lens missing focus in 3d and Auto-area AF. I was shooting some duck and Cormorants in bright sunny skies, as well as a few Pelicans. Eye-detect shot straight to the eyes, but quite a few focused in front, behind, or on the neck of the bird. Will further test tomorrow, but it might be the AF jumping around and missing focus. Tested the lens on my Z8 today, and it was fine.

I will get back to you if I find anything but might be some FW tweaks are needed to optimize the Expeed7/ AF for that ASP-C sensor. Perhaps others will chime in too.

As per my testing, with manual focus using focus peaking the images are 100% sharp. It's has to be some issue with my camera unit. Looking forward to your tests.

When I select single-point AF, it is sharp each time. But using advanced AF it’s a bit if a hit/miss. I will also grab another lens tomorrow, maybe the 400 4.5 or the 100-400 and do more testing. I get back to you after.
