[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 673461, member: 25095"] A few things: First, you're shooting aperture priority mode, but have exposure compensation turned down three stops. Just confirming you've intentionally trying to under expose your shots in camera. (Usually that's an accident) Second, you're shooting at f/2.8. While shooting stopped down some is sharper for your f/1.8 lens, that's still a pretty narrow depth of field. Finally, here are some screen shots that show where the camera focused. This, along with the depth of field, is probably why two of the shots are not in focus. [ATTACH=CONFIG]291165._xfImport[/ATTACH] The first image, no problem as you mentioned. Focus was on the eyes. [ATTACH=CONFIG]291166._xfImport[/ATTACH] Second shot, the focus drifted to the branches behind your subject. Because of the shallow depth of field, the face is now slightly out of focus. [ATTACH=CONFIG]291167._xfImport[/ATTACH] Again, good focus on the eyes, the face is in focus. [ATTACH=CONFIG]291168._xfImport[/ATTACH] I just screen shot around the subject's face, but on this image the camera did not report achieving focus. What AF mode do you typically shoot in? Single point or multi-point? AF-S (single serve) or AF-C (continuous focus)? [/QUOTE]
