I forgot what the setting was to me the pic is just not sharp at tall. I am a point and shoot guy but I have taken pic on a friend's Canon 300D and my own Sanyo Xacti C4 that are much much sharper than this. Is this my fault or some equipment malfunction? Thanks for your help. |

If you are using the kit lens, you may have reached the limitation of sharpness at such an aperture. The kit lens sharpness is really good at f/8 through f/16. You wrote fStop at f/25 and lens aperture at 4.0??? Try another shot at Programmed Mode. Increase the resolution in camera at the maximum. There really is no reason to go small. |

Bronze Member Username: Philipt95148Post Number: 49 Registered: Jun-06 | are you saying it is not needed? |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 13145 Registered: Dec-03 | It is a personal preference and some feel the need to defend it as necessity. With various arguments as to the kind of protection it really provides. I find it more of a nuisance specially if I want to use a polarizer. Remove, re-attach, etc. |
