Another help question, 

I have my D7200 set to use back button focus, enjoying it until today, Then noticed today the green box wouldn't show as focused only red?

Thanks

Have a look at the lens distance range limitation…
maybe it was changed inadvertently!

Hi Nikon Shooter, firstly can I wish you and all members a Happy New Year.
Well this is becoming really strange now.
I have gone and reset the D7200 and gone through setting the back button activation on even using YouTube instructions.
I get it focusing but only with a black box not green? Have googled your suggestion about “Lens distance range limitation. Unable to find information about adjusting this! It’s a new 7200 now wonder if faulty, probably not just me.

What green box? I can not remember ever seeing a green box in the D7200 finder.

 

Lens range limiters are usual on pro lenses and absent on most consumer glass.


The only green box I can remember is in LiveView only.

I was understanding that looking through the viewfinder when pressing the back button it changed from red to green, not black when focused!
It does show green in live view.
Thanks
