Chimping is when you take a picture then review it immediately so you can adjust exposure and take another shot if your first guess was off a little. Only the advent of digital photography made this possible. Old school photographers tend to think of Chimping as being somehow inferior or amateur, but I say, if it works for you, go for it.
You might be referring to hunting, this is usually described as a lens overshooting the point of focus repeatedly without getting a lock. Often this will be due to a low contrast subject or poor lighting. Sadly, autofocus will never be as good as a well calibrated human eyeball. Ymmv
Thanks for the explanation re chimping, I guess I got the wrong idea!
This wasn't hunting, where the lens will go from one extreme to the other, this was just very small increments.The lens was wildly out of focus and would not move enough to get in focus, blinkin' annoying when a Lancaster, Mosquito, Spitfire and 2 Hurricanes are flying by in formation! Thank goodness for the K200!
