[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 829655, member: 50197"] Looks like the The issue with this image is that the focus is on the bushes in the background. With single focus point mode there should be a little red box in the viewfinder/backscreen. The camera will focus on whatever that box is on. Again, just put that box over whatever you want focused on and half press the shutter button, then recompose while still holding the button at half press, then push all the way down to take the shot. An quick method for placing the red box in the center of the screen is to push the OK button on the back of the camera just above the [I]i[/I] and the Menu button. Aperture preferred is easy to use. Just select the aperture you want, and the camera will select the shutter speed automatically. Keep an eye on the ISO, if you have it set to auto. An easy method to use manual is to set the aperture and shutter speed and put the ISO in auto. The camera will select the correct ISO for proper exposure. Again, you have to keep an eye on the ISO and perhaps make changes if it goes too high, or bottoms out. This is the mode I normally use for wildlife photography. Of course, I started out with a camera that was fully mechanical. I had to use a handheld light meter and transfer settings to the camera, or just guess at the settings. The nice thing about mirrorless is that it will give a preview of exposure in the viewfinder. As to compatibility of the lens. Here is a webpage that addresses compatibility of Sigma lenses with Z cameras using the FTZ.
