[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 449103, member: 13090"] We can see the EXIF data just fine. You were shooting at f/8 and the shutter speed was 1/640 so aperture and shutter speed were both fine. The shots are so badly out of focus I'm thinking the obvious thing is that the camera was not focused when the shot was taken. When you half-press the shutter button on your camera, you'll see a "focus confirmation dot" illuminate in the viewfinder, it's located at the very bottom left when you're looking through the viewfinder: [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [ATTACH=CONFIG]154948._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] When you take a shot, if that dot is not clearly lit, you do NOT have correct focus. You can still trip the shutter, though; the camera will let you do that. If you want, you can change a setting so the camera will not take a picture unless it has focus-lock. I would test your camera and see if you're getting the focus confirmation before taking your shot. Remember... No dot = No focus. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
