[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 739351, member: 26505"] In Aperture mode, the camera set the shutter speed is at 1/3200 when opened up to f.56 at 800 ISO on a bird in the shade. Seems to me it would have knocked the shutter speed way down. Is that possibly a typo? The one of the parrot that shot is at 1/50th has a shutter speed that is way too low for hand-held at 400mm. At least 1/400th or faster would be appropriate. I know I need to go faster than 1/focal length. So, you are probably getting camera shake. This is the problem with using Aperture priority or Program mode and long lenses. The camera will drop the shutter speed too low for hand held with a zoom. There is a minimum shutter speed setting for using Auto ISO, but I don't think it applies to the auto modes. Not sure on that one. The one of the bird flying could be a panning problem. It takes a lot of practice to pan with birds and get them sharp. It is also backlit and far away. I know we are asking a lot, but are you shooting in RAW or jpeg? Are you getting sharp images in other situations? [/QUOTE]
