Hi there.
I'd like to ask a thing about focusing. Although the tittle suggests D780, I had the same problem with D750 and D4s. And I am not sure, what am I doing wrong.
I have problems focusing on moving subjects. I just can't get sharp image, everything is moving out of focus.
My settings are AF-C, single focus. I took car of shutter speed since at start I thought it is problem with it. So it is always at least 1/200, but I tried also with 1/500.
I tried to focus on walking cat, missed focus.... I tried to focus with people, missed focus.
I don't use BBF, which I know it is recommended for moving subjects, but I never had problem with my old D700 and just lately I think I have some setting that is wrongly set. I use shutter button.
So, where should I look? Should I use 3D tracking?
Thanks for advice.

The menu selection referred to in previous post is for the AF to ignore objects that come between you and the subject as you pan.
Everything on a nikon will be blurry if you don't set the sharpness to +9 in the picture control menu. I assume you have done the AF fine tune for your lens.All nikons come out the factory set soft at +3 ( only improves JPEG and LCD sharpness)
Thanks for reply.
PB_PM: yeah, I guess it is different, since I never had that problem with my D700, but lately I find that problem occurs. I tried with 3D tracking it is a bit better, but still... I won't dare to use it on wedding since focus point can jump around a lot.
Pistnbroke: I noticed it on every lens I tried. 58mm, 24-70 and 70-200. I know 58mm is a bit slow, so I tried other too. But I know it is something different in focus system, something that I can't figure it out yet. Yes, I am panning Ok and also I have AF fine tune set as it should. Really strange.
I found this problem bigger if the light is lower, like indoors.
I have to try also group AF. Is that the single point and little dots around it? Is this setting available in Af-C?
I gotta make use of this spare time during corona, to find out the solution for this. Thanks for helping.
Let us know how you go
