[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 508093, member: 13090"] Okay, good... Because that will help a LOT. If you shoot JPG's you really should look into this; making this one in-camera adjustment will have a big impact on the overall sharpness of your JPG photos. Here's what you do... [indent]Press the Menu button, scroll down and highlight the "Shooting Menu" (the camera icon). Click right one time, scroll down and highlight the "Set Picture Control" menu and click right one more time. Scroll down and highlight "Standard" and the click right one time. From this menu, increase the "Sharpness" setting from the strangely low default setting to "+7" and increase "Saturation" one notch to the right (+1, essentially). Press the "OK" button save these changes and back out of the menus.
