[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 508561, member: 13090"] The EXIF data has been stripped out of the shots you posted so we can't see what the settings were when you took these shots -- focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc., all of which would be very helpful. They're also really small JPG's so it's hard to tell much about how soft or sharp they are. Can you pull a JPG or two off your camera's SD card, copy it right onto your computer and then attach it here? We really need that EXIF data if it's at all possible. That being said, and based on looking at your posted images, I'm seeing some really wonky colors in the third shot (beach umbrellas and chairs on the lawn) and most of your shots appear to me to have exposure issues (sometimes over, sometimes under). For starters, I suggest you put the Contrast setting back to zero. I'd ask that you make sure you don't have any Exposure Compensation enabled. To check this setting press the "+/-" button near the shutter and turn the rear Command dial. The "+" numbers lighten the exposure, and "–" numbers darken it; make sure the setting reads "0". Also, if you haven't already, set the File Size setting to "JPG Large" and, lastly, while we're troubleshooting issues, turn off the VR function and leave it off (for now). Once you've done those things, I'd like to see some basic shots taken with the same 55-200mm lens. Outdoors, with full sun if possible, and shot using the Green Auto Mode. They don't need to be "art" photos, I'd just like to see some full size JPG's, taken outdoors in the best possible shooting conditions. Most of your shots seem to clean up pretty well with a little post processing so I'm thinking this is a settings-related issue. Here are a couple I touched up lightly: [ATTACH=CONFIG]187475._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [ATTACH=CONFIG]187476._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
