Dear Alan, I'd expect any camera not being able to resolve something to give me a fuzzy patch of stuff. If the hair cannot be resolved, I'd expect it to give me back a fuzzy patch of color. But no, I got back a ragged hair, much like on a TV only much worse. The hair has sharp boundaries, but it is not a line, it is ragged. I don't know how to best put this in words, but to me the camera seems to be telling me, "I can't render it, so I create it for you." That's why I asked if there are certain settings which would help.
