[QUOTE="crb999, post: 550018, member: 41742"] Hi Sandpatch, thank you for your observations, they are extremely valuable. I initially set the ISO high to ensure I would get a shot in all circumstances. When I first got the camera and experimented, the ISO was at 400 and the flash would often pop up. I did not want that! Now, I am familiar with and rather like the graininess you can get by pushing the ISO back in the chemical days but are you telling me that I may be confusing ISO 1600 grain for lack of focus? It is possible, I'm a Doddery old bugger whose eyes have seen better days. I'll set about the next batch of pictures with a much lower ISO setting and see what happens. My very first 20 pictures were with the camera set at 'Auto' and the results were awful! Significantly out of focus! It was that I suppose that pushed me in the fast shutter high ISO direction.
