Neat Video Auto Fine Tune

Here’s a 12-minute video in which photographer Steve Perry shows how to use the relatively new “Auto AF Fine Tune” feature from Nikon.
If your camera is back or forward focusing, then it’s likely you need to fine tune the autofocus. Often this would involve buying a commercial kit, or doing a bit of guess work, and in more extreme cases even sending your DSLR back to Nikon itself.

However, that is set to change with the Auto AF Fine Tune feature that is present on cameras like the Nikon D5, D500, D7500, and most likely any future mid-to-pro level cameras. (Here’s looking at you, D850.)

If no frames of the input clip contain featureless areas, you can try to use a frame from another video clip produced by the same video capturing device working in the same or similar mode. Then additionally you can fine-tune the resulting profile by analysing a frame from your current video clip: use Auto Fine-Tune once or use manual Fine-Tune on several featureless areas.

Detail Recovery Feature Highest Quality Mode features a remarkable Detail Recovery function that is capable of recovering fine details that are typically lost due to extremely strong digital noise, compression or inaccurate noise profiling. Neat Video’s Auto Profile tool automatically examines the content of a clip and builds a custom noise profile specifically for it. This is extremely accurate, however it is possible to override this tool and use semi-automatic or manual noise analysis methods if preferred.

“The typical way Auto AF Fine Tune is performed by most users leaves a LOT of room for errors, inconsistency, and can even make things worse,” Perry tells PetaPixel. “In this video, I outline what AF Fine Tune is, proper setup, and a technique that gets me VERY similar results to what I see with commercial products.”

By using a target that is full of information for the autofocus system to lock onto, as well as ensuring it is properly lit, you can properly fine tune your camera’s focus for different lenses.

Unfortunately, you can only set a single fine tune preference for each lens. So for zoom lenses that have a varying AF compensation value across their range, you’ll need to compromise and go for a mid-point.
