There is another possibility here. I used to have perfect vision. As I got older small print got blurry. Large print was in perfect sharpness. Get my meaning ? The lcd on the back is small and the computer screen is big. It could be as simple as a vision problem. The medical term is presbyopia. Thats why us older folks wear bifocals. (I hate the name presbyopia because the translation is "old eyes)

Have you tried focusing on something close and then adjusting the diopter setting on your viewfinder until the image is very sharp?

Adjusting the viewfinders diopter control will do NOTHING for the image displayed on the LCD.

That doesn't make sense. If you set your lens to manual but don't manually focus the lens, it naturally produces an out-of-focus image. And it still would be out of focus on a monitor!!
ditto this...agree, OOF when shot is OOF when viewed

May I asked if there was an event (trauma) just prier.
And have you completely removed the battery and put it back in yet? And the watch battery for the memory if it has one I'm not familiar with the camera "Nikon" is that a new brand?
:lol:

Thanks to all who responded! This place is a wealth of info! I figured it out by INTENSELY reading the Manuel! it was the A/M switch on the lens! It was on M when it should have been on A! Thought it was a problem with the camera but it was with the lens. Thanks again!
I'm glad you resolved it but I'm still confused. You indicated earlier that the pictures were sharp when you transferred them to your computer. If you were intending to shoot them in AF and the switch was set to manual on the lens, they would be out of focus no matter where you view them..

When there are two switches that control Manual/Auto, it's not difficult to set one but not the other.

Sometimes as I take a lens out of my camera bag, the switch gets nudged. It was frustrating until I realized that was something I had to check.
The switch on your lens must be loose. You have to push them pretty firmly to move from AF to manual. I can't see that happening just taking it out of a camera bag.

For sure it happens.
I think it is also possible to turn off autofocus in the menu. That happens seemingly by itself too.
And of course Nikon cameras with a focusing motor in the body also have a switch on the camera body that can activate all by itself.
My D800 loves to change the ISO for me from time to time. Yep, I have auto ISO turned off...and it does not seem to turn itself on.
I think the OP's initial presentation wasn't complete, leading to some confusion in the thread. I think the images on the LCD were fuzzy NOW but previous images uploaded to the computer were sharp. They were taken with autofocus on. If the OP is happy we should be happy too!

Then I'm glad I'm a Canon shooter. My cameras never change the control values spontaneously or even by jostling them in my bag. The only way settings change is if I change them. I would have to bang any of my lenses pretty hard in just the right way to move the AF/Manual switches by accident. It would also be almost impossible to accidentally alter the ISO. One would have hit the very relatively small and low ISO button followed by rotating the top wheel or rear dial.
I agree the OP was not very clear in describing the issue and probably caused some confusion as a result.

The switch isn't loose, it isn't tight, it's just right. :-)
