The Nikon lens is one of the best on the market. Nikon lenses are robust, and the company provides great support if anything goes wrong with your lens and you have time to send it out. But what happens if you are on a shoot? Quick troubleshooting could save you from loss of time and money.
Cleanliness
The first thing you should look at is whether the lens on your Nikon is clean. Are there specks of dirt apparent on the lens or on the inside covering the mirror? If there are large collections of dust in your lens, your auto focus may not perform correctly. If the lens is not clean, try swabbing it with a contact cleaner. If you are uncomfortable performing a cleaning service, take it to a professional.
Focus
If you're taking pictures that come out hazy and out of focus even though you are sure you have hand-focused correctly or have left it to the auto focus, check to make sure the problem is not sensor-related. Switch your camera to single-area auto focus without any priority such as closest subject or area, and take some photos. If they are still coming out hazy, then the sensors are probably at fault. Try changing the contrast settings on the body of your camera. You will find do this on your specific model by looking in the manual.
Lens or Body
If you are consistently getting bad shots and have ruled out human error, try switching the lens you're using with one of a similar make. If the issue is solved, then you have narrowed it down to your lens. If not, your body is at fault. Check in the instruction manual provided with the lens or body, and see what it suggests or take it to a professional.
