Auto Fine Tune Is Not Available At Current Focus Settings
Or done a portrait and their ears are nice and sharp not their eyes? If so, you might have a lens focusing issue. There are ways to test for that and depending on your camera model you may be able to adjust it. I found a video where the host walks you through the process of fine tuning autofocus for your DSLR. Apr 03, 2016 This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. Live view to single center focus point and setting it to Af s it still gives me the message saying AF fine tune does not work with current settings. Clearly there is something else going on.

Here’s a 12-minute video in which photographer Steve Perry shows how to use the relatively new “Auto AF Fine Tune” feature from Nikon.
If your camera is back or forward focusing, then it’s likely you need to fine tune the autofocus. Often this would involve buying a commercial kit, or doing a bit of guess work, and in more extreme cases even sending your DSLR back to Nikon itself.
However, that is set to change with the Auto AF Fine Tune feature that is present on cameras like the Nikon D5, D500, D7500, and most likely any future mid-to-pro level cameras. (Here’s looking at you, D850.)

“The typical way Auto AF Fine Tune is performed by most users leaves a LOT of room for errors, inconsistency, and can even make things worse,” Perry tells PetaPixel. “In this video, I outline what AF Fine Tune is, proper setup, and a technique that gets me VERY similar results to what I see with commercial products.”
By using a target that is full of information for the autofocus system to lock onto, as well as ensuring it is properly lit, you can properly fine tune your camera’s focus for different lenses.
Unfortunately, you can only set a single fine tune preference for each lens. So for zoom lenses that have a varying AF compensation value across their range, you’ll need to compromise and go for a mid-point.
