[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 93121, member: 6277"] Are you shooting JPEG or raw? If JPEG FINE then you can improve your shots out of the camera by adjusting the sharpness settings. MENU>>Shooting MENU>>SET PICTURE COINTROL (Decide which option you want) Using right arrow control on picture control option you will see several options. Raise sharpening level to wherever you want. You will need to do this for each one of the picture controls you plan to use. I would set each one of them just to be safe. Play with the options on the same subject matter to see what difference it makes. I you shoot raw these will not make any difference. You will do all your adjustment in Post Processing anyway. Another tip is to make sure your shutter speed is high enough. The more you zoom in the faster shutter speed you will need. Keep an eye on it. a easy rule of thumb is the shutter speed should equal the focal distance. with the 18-55 that came with your camera your should try to shoot no slower than 1/60 second. This is something you can play with some as you get more experience. The most important thing is to shoot lots of photos and look at the data and see what you did on the good ones and what you did on the bad ones and learn from it. [/QUOTE]
