[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 499210, member: 13090"] I agree with wholeheartedly with Jake in that those shots are not "blown out"; they're maybe over-exposed a half a stop or so, but that's about it and that's easily correct for in post. You could also use the Exposure Compensation button while shooting. Lastly, while I don't really suggest doing so, if you think the camera is consistently metering too hot you can go into the SETUP menu and use the Fine Tune Optimal Exposure setting to "permanently" adjust how the camera meters in different modes. As for out of focus issue... I too noticed you're right on the bubble with your shutter speed for the focal length you were shooting at (1/200 at 200mm); I would have tried to shoot closer to 1/350 at that focal length. And as Marcel points out, if you're shooting JPG you should go into your Picture Control menu and adjust the "Sharpness" setting for all the different Picture Controls (Landscape, Portrait, Vibrant, Standard, etc.) from the abnormally low default setting of "3", to "7" instead. That one change will have a dramatic effect on the sharpness of your JPG photos. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
