I forgot to mention that I selected the center point as my point of focus, instead of letting the camera choose. I always tried to focus (manually or with single-point auto focus) on the black line in the center of the page (it has the words "focus here" in white font).
The photo below was taken yesterday. Everything is blurry, so I don't think it's an issue of the AF locking on the wrong target. Is this camera shake due to focal length, even though IS 1 is engaged?
EXIF for fox pup:
Exposure: 1/100
F/Stop: 5.6
ISO: 400
Aperture: 4.0
Focal Length: 150mm
The second photo had better lighting but was also taken at a long focal length.
Exposure: 1/500
F/Stop: 5.6
ISO: 100
Aperture: 4.0
Focal Length: 150mm
I'm only looking at the actual pixesl because I want to learn how to get the most from this camera. Sample photos from others seem razor sharp compared to what I'm getting and I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for taking the time to help a newbie!
