Yes. My wife and I were minutes from leaving Queens to go there when we were called and told what happened. Quite a shock.

Why are you telling me this????


I give up. I was replying to a question about the shots of the children, not addressing anyone else. The original complaint about haze was not a camera, lens, sensor or eyesight problem. It was caused by incorrect camera settings as found in the EXIF data, which resulted in a low contrast image. Several people gave this information to the OP, but many people failed to notice any of this, and proffered such extreme measures as cleaning the sensor, sending the camera for repair and getting cataract surgery. A simple factory reset would have cleared up the problem, and a lot of superfluous words saved if people read the whole thread before giving extreme advice.

Where or how do I get that "auto tune"?
Thanks


Ellen,

Your ". . . haze all over . . . " statement is a clue that lens matching is probably way down the list of possible causes for your problem. I would place the electrical contacts high on the list; especially since multiple people reported that it solved similar problems with their Nikon cameras.

Regarding "auto tune", that, as the name implies, operates automatically. You can manually fine tune your lenses to your camera and that is a good thing to do in any case once your camera is operating properly. I do it on every camera and for every new lens I buy and than run periodic rechecks. Fine tuning ensures that a lens automatically focuses on the spot you pick in your viewfinder. It tunes your camera so that your lens is not front or back focusing so that if you focus on your subjects eyeball in the finder, the camera instead focuses on the nose or ear. The following article will tell you all you need to know to use that function:

Ellen, br br Your ". . . haze all over . . .... (show quote)


Or, as I've stated previously, she could just read the thread, and find that her issue has been solved.

I seriously doubt that the memory card is the problem.
(Easily checked with another card.)


Extremely unlikely it has anything to with the memory card. Nevertheless, after three years I would replace it.

I really should stop watching! People really do come across badly when they don't bother to read the thread and then post nonsense.

A light leak at the lens mount? This would happen regardless of the lens, and the camera body would check out well in cleaning. But if the mount is dinged then light would get in and cause this effect.

Thank you. I will def check that out since I did install a new lens recently. I then took it off an remounted my original lens.
