Hi, recently I got my D300s + Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 (and a few other accessories). I owned the camera for about 2 weeks and have been testing it in varied conditions. Usually the focusing was top notch and accurate but I recently put the camera to a real test when I use it to photograph a wedding.
While most of the photos turn out good, I do encounter a problem that are causing me problems during times where I need to get key shots. The focusing seemed off, even-though I double checked to ensure the focusing point is where I wanted (note that I am using single AF point focus)
I tried stopping down from f/2.8 to f/4 - f/5.6 thinking it was just the lens softness issue at f/2.8 but turns out I was wrong, cause the problem still exists. Some scenes, I asked to have a retake cause of the focusing problem and I still cant get the image to focus properly, so for those photos, I will need to find a solution to make it acceptable.
Anyone care to help me on this? And I thought it has something to do with Nikon contrast based AF system causing it not to be able to focus accurately on certain scenes, but that's just my guess. I'm not sure why my camera is not being able to focus properly.
Help pls
