[QUOTE="okulo, post: 492934, member: 40687"] I have been out again and made a very conscious effort to hold the shutter release button half way to engage the VR and I detect some improvement. I tried to upload a sample photo but got an error saying that the file is too big. I don't know if the EXIF data will survive a trip through Photoshop's Save for Web. The photo I wanted to upload was shot at 55mm, 1/250th f8.0. In answer to questions etc.: I am shooting RAW+Fine and have checked the RAW files in Lightroom. I did change the autofocus to single focus point and tested it before I went out but for reasons I don't understand, it went into AF Area mode when I went out. I have changed the Shooting Menu settings (from the default, I assume - Sharpness was 3 and Saturation was 0) which could explain my next question which was going to be about my photos appearing a bit dull. I have always avoided using sharpness in Photoshop as I don't like the results and I probably brought that prejudice to this camera. I think the earliest photos I shot, including the above mentioned one, were shot without VR on as that was the position the kit lens was in and it being an 18-55, I didn't think VR was necessary, especially in good light. I am now using an 18-300mm 1:3.5-6.3. It's getting dark now but I will try shooting in Aperture priority mode tomorrow (which is how I 'grew up' on a Pentax ME Super. [/QUOTE]
