[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 282618, member: 12257"] It all really depends on the details. What lens were you using, what conditions, what settings did you dial in? Common rule of thumb would be to keep the shutter speed equal to or higher than the max focal length of your lens (i.e. 50mm prime = shutter speed of 1/50 or faster). Also, it's more than reasonable to use auto-focus even when manually controlling other settings. I tend to avoid manual focus except for specific needs, which are rare on most occasions, and the two lenses I do use it on have manual override, so I can auto-focus then slightly adjust if needed. Maybe post some pics with the exif data? With that, we can dive in a bit more. [/QUOTE]
