p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D750 focuses perfect in live view, blurry in viewfinder.


Does anyone know what the problem might be? iv'e tried different lenses. Factory reset. Nails focus in live view, viewfinder though is slightly blurry, and it's not a back or front focus issue, there is no area in sharp focus. My other D750 nails focus perfect every time. I think something is messed up hardware wise, I guess I have to use it for live view only or send it to Nikon? I'm guessing it's not something I can take apart and manually adjust. It's out of warranty. I'm saying they don't just look blurry through the viewfinder, but the photo's themselves are blurry when taken through the viewfinder...

Are your photos coming out blurry? Or just the image through the viewfinder looks blurry? If it's the second one, your viewfinder diopter is probably just out of whack. It's the little dial on the side. Spin it and it will change the focus in your viewfinder.

Try to clean the AF-sensor

I agree with VetraLens, check your diopter setting, if it got bumped, the viewfinder will be blurry.

If your photos come out sharp but appear blurry in the viewfinder, it's your dipoter. Just look through the viewfinder and turn it until it's sharp for your eyes.

If your photos aren't coming out sharp unless you use live view though, you may have an AF issue, dirty AF sensor array, etc.

If you adjust diopter and it is still blurry, it could be just like what happened to my D7100.
I had to send it back to Nikon to change gear or something in the diopter that was broken so diopter adjustment did not work.

Is your viewfinder clean?

My guess would then be something wrong with the focusing module.

With live view, you are using on sensor CDAF and not the focusing module.

Try the simplest thing first, try to blow some air down at the AF sensor. I just had to do this on my D500 to get it focusing properly again. I have a microscope at work and found a nice sized dust/dirt particle right in the centre portion of the sensor. Blowing it off solved my issue.

See this video from Steve where he shows were it is located...basically it is down in the bottom of the chamber.

If you set your viewfinder to show a grid screen and it's lines are not sharp, then you definitely need to reset your viewfinder diopter. They get bumped easily enough.

Tried everything in the video, I guess the AF focusing module is shot, i'll probably just use live view and take all my real estate shots with it until it dies. I have another D750 that works flawless for portraits. I'm guessing Nikon would charge me north of $500 to fix this, and I don't know that it's worth it with a used D750...

Did you later find solution to it? I'm having the same issue with my D750
