[QUOTE="aroy, post: 579386, member: 16090"] To check if the camera takes sharp images do the following . Put the camera on a solid tripod . Set the mode dial to "A", aperture priority . If shooting JPG, select "Fine" . Deselect - NR, Distortion control and D Lighting . Use 18-55 lens at 55mm . Set ISO to 100 . Set AF Servo to AF-S - single servo . Set Metering to "Spot" and select central point . Now focus on a moderately contrast scene around 10 feet away. Take a series of images at F5.6 to f16 Examine the images at 100% on the computer If there is nothing wrong with the camera/lens combination all the images should come out sharp in the centre. As the F stop increases the DOF will increase and the images will get sharper away from the central focus area. In case some thing has shifted due to fall, the camera will either focus in front or to back. It may even be sharp at one end and soft at the other. In case this is so, please get the camera serviced and aligned within warranty period. [/QUOTE]
