not happy with the d7000
right now im pretty tick off with the camera, i just went out to take pics of the lightning and the camera would not auto focus worth a crap. i made sure that i had a focus point on a tree so it would focus. i missed about a dozen pics of the lightning because of this. my old d90 never had an issue...any tips or advice would be great....

put it on Manual focus, focus the lens to infinity

what lens are you using?
If there is no distance indicator, turn the focusing ring all the way to the left and back it off slightly
