I have a simple method. I use something that has a high contrast (usually a piece of wood with sharp texture) to focus on, put my camera on a tripod, set it to timer, MLU, Single point, VR off, AF-Static with beep confirmation and AF-On to focus. I manually set the lens out of focus, then using the AF-On button, focus on the subject until I hear the beep. I start with "0" on the AF Fine tune scale, and work my way down in increments of 5. I start at 0, then -5, then -10 then -15 and finally -20, repeating the autofocus process in between adjustments. I will then compare all 5 shots and see which one is the sharpest, and then narrow it down. If the negative side are all soft then I switch to the + side. It's a very simple method but it works for me everytime....Show more →
This is essentially just what the FoCal software does, except that the software makes the process much easier, quicker, less boring, and hopefully more accurate.
