> Amy, what focusing mode are you using? I'm having this problem with manual focus, hence my temptation to believe it's my fault. I don't know if it's also a problem with autofocus because I don't use autofocus.
What I am finding fairly often is that the "acceptable focus" covers from the point I focus and a bit beyond, when what I'd expect it to cover is the point I focus plus/minus. Here's an example, though it'll be difficult to judge after resizing/compressing... http://www.amyhughes.org/lego/conventions/IceCreamShop/IMGP0351sm.jpg I was focusing on the front of the building, right under the awning. It's pretty well focused front to back, all along the side, but the figure standing right in front of it isn't. The guy in the blue overalls is in focus, the guy in red isn't. To test if I was still capable of focusing a camera I shot a narrow DOF picture of a piece of graph paper on an angle, and the line I focused on was properly focused. So I'm capable and the camera is capable, but I haven't figured out why so many of my shots aren't properly focused. When I shot jewelry the fabric I used as a backdrop was perfectly focused and the piece I was shooting wasn't. Repeatedly. Amy
