Has anyone ever tried this? I purposely defocused the scope so that the in- focus point was in front of the target (a resolution chart). I took pictures in focus mode Infinity, Macro, and Auto Focus. All images were equally fuzzy. I repeated the test defocusing the scope so that the in-focus point would be beyond the target (very fuzzy to the eye). I took the same sequence of pictures. At Infinity setting, the image was fuzzy. At Macro and Auto Focus settings, the image was completely sharp.
I am guessing that the camera can only adjust focus one way; the other way the lens is already racked out to the infinity position and no more correction is available. I am now trying to see if this is a viable way to guarantee in-focus pictures all the time. Is it possible that those of us who have trouble getting in-focus pictures are really adjusting the scope in a way that the camera cannot compensate (maybe due to the nature of our eyes)?
I am using a Nikon P5100 and a Swarovski 65 HD.
