[QUOTE="nickt, post: 701940, member: 4923"] Welcome. Your camera and lens look like they are working fine. While 'P' is a very decent automatic mode to shoot in, you will eventually want to move away from it. Some things that would be different if you took a little more control: Your shutter speed was 1/3200. You can go much slower since there is no motion here. Going slower would give you more room in other parameters. You could have shot this very reliably at 1/60 or 1/100. Probably even 1/30 if you are steady. This would allow you to stop the lens down a bit. Many lenses will show improved sharpness when stopped down slightly. Also, your iso would drop down, which is always good. This change might not make a big difference in this particular shot, but it will help you down the road. There are different ways to make the above happen, in the end, its all the same. I might have shot this in Aperture mode and chose a slightly tighter (higher) aperture than f3.5, the camera will pick the shutter and since you have auto iso on, it will also pick the iso. You could make it happen in shutter mode too. You can also jump to different combinations of shutter and aperture while in P mode by turning the command wheel. You will see a * in the viewfinder when you alter the program. If you are not yet familiar with the exposure triangle - the relationship between shutter, aperture, and iso, let us know. I have some links that will quickly get you up to speed. [/QUOTE]
