How to permanently calibrate Nikon lens?

There's always an option to send it to Nikon (or deal with local professional shops), but I'd like to know if I can resolve it myself. Plus, who knows - same issue might come up in the future with other lenses…

Recently got myself a used 18-105mm VR lens, which seemed to be somewhat soft. After shooting a focus chart, it became clear that lens front-focuses. I used D7100 to calibrate focus to -5, and now the lens seems to work properly. The problem is - I bought this lens to use with D3200, which doesn't seem to have AF fine-tune (at least I haven't found that option, after digging through the menus and checking online).
So, lens works fine with one body, but not with the one I need. Question is - is it possible (and how?) to somehow save the calibration I did on D7100 to the lens, so that it's permanently stored and applied to any body I use the lens on?

Really, not looking for suggestions to take to be serviced, unless you know for a fact that it's the only possible resolution. Also not planning to replace this lens with a different lens (either because you think this lens sucks, or because you have something that works better for you).

Are cameras on eBay fake, Nikon D3200?

I'm worried for a few reasons, I think I'm over worrying like I always do.

1) If the Nikon D3200 has manufacturer warranty in the US, it has to be real right? Fakes can't have warranty. Or can people put fake parts inside and have the code on it?

2) He has 98.8% positive feedback and I've checked and people have written positive things about the camera.

3) How does he get these cameras? Is how he gets it risky? Or is there a LEGAL way for him to sell these cameras?

4) He does not accept returns, but most, I think all don't accept returns and I'm covered by Ebay Money Back Guarantee.

I usually worry over things like this a lot so if you can help me out that would be great.

How to display camera video feed on computer screen?

I have a Nikon D3100, and because it doesn't have a fold out screen, I can't tell what is happening when i record. Is it at all possible to hook up my camera to my laptop and show the video feed there in order to see it better? Will i still be able to record in high quality on my camera? Thanks

i have an HP, Windows 7, i don't know exacts but i got it about 4-5 yrs ago.
"What I'm wondering is, is there a way/ program I can use/ ect. To hook my camera through my computer in order to display the recording on my monitor live while recording? In other words, use my computer as the display screen for my digital camera.

To clarify: I'm not asking about playing the video back on my computer, I want to be able to view a live feed of what is being recorded on my camera through my PC monitor (sort of like a web cam). "

How important are megapixels in a DSLR when choosing to buy?

I did a lot of research on cameras and went to lots of stores to choose the right one to buy but I still can't decide.Obviously I'm a beginner so I want to know how important the difference between megapixels in a camera is. My top choices are the Nikon d3200 and the Canon 600d.Nikon has more megapixels(around six more) but the Canon has better color depth while shooting and also a flip-out lcd screen which i believe is really helpful.Of course the lens is important and the person behind the camera to make a good photo. I would be really grateful if you could help me to choose and explain it to me.

Tips for outdoor concert photography?

Photography has just been a hobby but I've been asked to shoot at a outdoor concert this Sunday.

I have a Nikon D90 with the 18-105mm kit lens and a 50mm 1.8. I also have a SB910 but I don't think I'll really need it because the concert will be mostly during the day.

I've never shot at a concert before so I was just wondering if you had any good tips for taking photos of crowds, the Dj's, should I take my tripod? Would it be better to shoot with the kit lens so I get more in a frame? I'm kinda nervous about it, any tips would be great!

How to know if this camera is not fake on eBay?

I want to buy a Nikon D3200 on eBay. I messaged the seller since his item was on tuition to see if he had any more and he said he did and I can buy it. He said that we can do it by PayPal, outside of eBay. I said can you make it an eBay listing and he said after this listing is done since eBay lets him only put one listing time by time.

I'm looking through and the camera says Country / Region of Manufacture: United States. (Aren't nikons made in Thailand or he did not know and guessed US?)

Second, it says that the camera has manufacture warranty. So, is that a safe bet? Or can people just stick some serial code or something?

From 414 transactions, he has 98.8% positive feedback. He has been rated negative once from the person saying do not buy from this person but maybe that guy was easily ticked off.

What do you think?

Is the Nikon D3200 still a good DSLR?

I'm looking to get my first DSLR. I was looking at the Nikon D3200 as it is good for both pictures and 1080p videos. I only really looked at Canon and Nikon as there probably the most well known for DLSR. The 600D doesn't have auto focus, I think the D3200 would be the best choice for me. The only thing that put me off it is the fact the it is a few years old. Is it still a good pick? Or is there something else in that €400- €500 price bracket that i have just not come across yet?

Added (1). I also looked at the Canon 100D and 1200D
