Firstly Merry Christmas.
I vaguely remember someone mentioning how to setup your camera with your lens.
Is this safe to use on a Mac? What is it’s name if so.
Thanks

In Nikon terms, it is known as "AF Fine Tune" and it is in the camera.

 

I do all my fine tunings on my Mac through tethered sessions for more

comfort but it can be done from within all mid to high end cameras.

It looks like your camera is a D5200. If so, it doesn't support AF fine tuning

Sorry I must change my equipment, it’s a D7200 now.

OK, then you're in luck. Some work required, but doable. I'm redirecting you to Pentaxforums where you can read all about it. The D7200 manual will tell where the setting is.

Remember, every camera body-lens combination is unique. Good luck

Do you mean the Reikan FoCal system?

That’s the one. Anyone used it?
I have also set my D7200 to use “Back button focus” brilliant and so much easier.

Darryl (dcbear78) uses it, I think.
