By JerandJan I use 3 different Nikon DSLR's and was never able to fully understand how the auto focus system works. The too technical jargon in Nikon manuals and some other books was too confusing and of no interest to me. What I hoped for and what this book does for me is to explain in layman terms what the AF system is and how and when to use it different camera bodies.It is very helpful to explain in simple terms the different servo modes (af-s, af-c, and af-a). This book describes exactly what each one is and gives suggestions on using them.The explanation of AF area modes is likewise very helpful. The diagrams and explanations of the af modules are easy to understand and makes it easy to decide which ones to use. Of course it depends on the camera model being used, the lighting conditions, subject matter etc. These are all explained with nicely. I think I am finally beginning to understand how and when to use each one. Thanks to the diagrams and pictures of the different models, I'm not hesitant to change a setting as needed. It is important to note that in most cases, the different camera bodies are shown and explained separately so it is easy to use the book for almost any specific camera.The rest of the book has explanations and discussions of such things as remotes, flashes lenses, etc. There is also a lengthy area devoted to live view and video which I do not use.I am sure many will find those areas to be helpful.This is a well written easy to understand book. I recommend it to any Nikon DSLR users who have any questions about the autofocus system and how to use it on their specific camera.Disclaimer---I was sent a free copy of this book by the publisher to review.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic Book on the Nikon Autofocus System By Christopher Morrow I've owned Nikon cameras ever since I bought my first one in Hong Kong in 1968. Used them professionally for many years, first of course, the manual focus film models, then the autofocus film cameras, and eventually the full digital versions. Based on previews of this book I thought I might learn something about the modern Nikon autofocus system. And sure enough this book very clearly explains the Nikon autofocus system in a way that is jargon free. The author also gives specific settings advice for different subject areas, such as bird photography, specific sports, group shots, aerials, landscape, and so on. He spells out the differences between the DX cameras and the FX cameras, and the limitations and advantages of each. The book is very up-to-date in information and specifics. Live View is an area I've not used much because I wasn't sure how to deal with it. This book clears that up. The author is not afraid to make recommendations on equipment and how to use it. An extremely useful and helpful book.

By MyFyrByrd I purchased this book because it was the only dedicated book about this topic. As mentioned by another reviewer, I found errors. Only 15 pages into the book there are two completely conflicting descriptions of the dynamic auto focus system. On the lower left column of page 15, the author states that if you set the camera to one of the dynamic area modes (d-9, d-21, d39, d-51, 3D tracking) then you initially focus with the priority sensor (the center sensor in the group) but fail to keep the subject on that priority sensor for more than an "instant to about 1.5 seconds" the camera will assume you are trying to focus on a new subject. You will lose the ability to track your moving target if you can't reposition the target or subject on the priority sensor. Now jump one page ahead and it is stated that as long as you keep the subject (bird in this case) within any of the sensors (in that group of 9,21,39 or 51) that the camera will maintain focus (regardless if you cannot reposition the subject to the "priority sensor"). Well, which of these is true??? Guess I will have to experiment. I'm just a little upset that I had to pay money for this info and then find that I must experiment on my own to decide if the text on this page is correct or the text on that page is correct. To the readers of this, any comments explaining the dynamic focusing system and how it functions would be very helpful.More conflicting text about the dynamic focusing system can be found on pages 7: dynamic AF modes require continuous servo mode (AF-C). I agree...now move to page 21 (right column , second paragraph) which is on the same topic of dynamic focus: the first sentence reads that "because you are using one of the priority sensors to acquire the initial focus, the focus is as precise as if you were using AF-C. What???... The book just went through saying that you couldn't even enter the dynamic mode if you weren't already in AF-C. This makes no sense.More false info on page 8. the text reads: AF-A is not available on the D7200, D750, D810, or D4S. I own a D750 and this mode is available on my camera.
