I\'ve been spending lots of time tweaking the MA on my D800E, and retesting the AF accuracy with my various lenses. I\'ve confirmed that the left AF issue only affects my 14-24mm f2.8, and I\'ve also discovered that it only happens when the camera is horizontal - that same AF point works fine if the camera is shot vertically. Has anyone else with an affected camera noticed this?
To me that doesn\'t sound like the AF misalignment issue people are reporting (but I could be wrong). I had that happen when I first tried my camera simply because of what I was trying to focus on. The outer focus points only detect information vertically, and I guess the object I was trying to focus on was repetitive along that axis, so it was missing focus. When I tried focusing on something else it worked fine. Unless I\'m misunderstanding something I don\'t see how else the autofocus could be affected by the orientation of the camera, since the autofocus module doesn\'t even know the camera\'s orientation.
Have you tried multiple different objects/test charts with the camera to confirm the issue?
The camera has orientation sensors to adjust metering patterns based on camera orientation, and the D800/D800E have the AF point and metering pattern closely linked, so there\'s no reason not to think the camera orientation could have some effect on this.
There\'s absolutely no question that the left AF problem is occuriring in
