What camera do you have? You posted the question under the N65 film camera but mentioned a D500, which doesn't exist. Perhaps a D50 or D5000?
The three main reasons for unsharp pictures are focus, subject motion, and camera motion.
Do you have autofocus turned on? What lens(es) are you using? Do you get different results with manual focus?
Are you sure the problem is with focus? Try putting the camera on a tripod (or a tabletop) and use the self-timer to take a picture of something stationary (and not too close to the camera). Use both autofocus and manual focus and look at the results.What camera do you have? You posted the question under the N65 film camera but mentioned a D500, which doesn't exist.

All your questions are in regard to AUTO FOCUS MODE which is described very nicely in the manual. For d 72 that is Dynamic 72 point focus. That is on page 106 of your manual. The AF-C and AF-S are the focus areas. AF-S is single focus for stationary objects. AF-C is continuous where what you are shooting is moving. This is described on page 101 in your manual.
I trust you are looking at something with sharp contrast, like a light pole. Lens can't focus without something crisp to see. If other lens work fine, than this lens need a trip to a lens repair shop. I use KEH Photo. Honest, reliable and cheaper and faster than Nikon. A visit to your local camera store might be in order, but if they send it in for repair for you, it will cost more.
I don't know what your perception of proper focusing is.
If there is enough light and enough contrast in the subject you want sharp (in focus) on your picture, you only have to point the camera to the point you want in focus on. Then you press the shutter release button half and wait till the camera is in focus. This is indicated by the focus point on top of the screen. as long as you keep the button half way down, you can move the camera and the focus will not be changed. So you can make changes to the composition. Then when you press the button down complete the picture should be sharp, where you focused on.
Don't try to make a picture, by pressing the button complete. as quick as you can, because the camera won't react as fast as a DSRL.
Two things can make a photo non sharp. 1) Bad focus and 2) Vibration while shooting. In general when hand holding a shorter lens your exposure should be 1/60 or faster. Your 7600 may have vibration reduction so it helps with point two.
If you use a tripod you control point two. if the photos are still blurry you either have the wrong focus mode set or possibly the lens is damaged or out of alignment. I cannot tell sitting here. Control Vibration and use a Tripod when in doubt.
There is a focusing issue with your lens focusing motor or electronics controlling it. Unless it is a very expensive camera it may not be cost effective for repair.
You did not say which lens or lenses you are using, but most auto-focus lenses have a switch for selecting manual or auto-focus. First, check your camera's menu settings to make sure auto-focus is enabled and then your lens to make sure you did not accidently leave it in the manual focus position? If it is in the auto-focus position and still not taking sharp pictures, switch it to manual and see if you can get it to focus correctly. It is also possible that your auto-focus alignment is out because your camera was bumped, jolted or dropped. If realignment is necessary, you can send the camera and lens to Nikon for repair or find a knowledgeable camera repairman.
There's a diopter adjustment control near the right edge of the viewfinder. Look through the viewfinder at a blank wall and adjust this until the focus marks appear sharp.
The D90 movie mode is not perfect. Keep the camera steady when shooting movies to reduce flicker.
It sound like you are not in focus when you start recording the movie. Press the shutter button halfway to focus, then press ok to record. If you do not want the camera to change focus in shot keep the shutter halfway down.
Is your shutter speed fast enough? If not, you'll need a faster shutter speed or a tripod.
Are you using the proper focus sensor? Is the entire image blurry or just portions of it?
What happens if you focus manually? If it comes out sharp, then there's a problem either with the lens or the autofocus system on the camera. Have you tried it with a different lens?
