[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 549023, member: 13090"] Well I'm not saying it's what will fix your problem but it's something to be aware of. Also, if you are shooting JPG, and haven't yet adjusted the Sharpness setting in the Picture Control menu, you should do that right now. If you shoot raw you can skip this step. To adjust the Sharpness setting: [INDENT]Press the Menu button. Highlight the Shooting Menu (camera icon). Drop down to "Set Picture Control" then click right one time. [indent](This menu contains all the Picture Controls [Standard, Vivid, Landscape, etc.] and each one has it's own set of Quick Adjust menus that will need to be adjusted if you think you're going to be using them.)[/indent] Highlight the Picture Control you're using, probably "Standard", and click right one time to enter the Quick Adjust menu. Highlight the "Sharpening" setting and increase it from the oddly low default of "2", to +6 or +7 (I don't suggest going higher but you can if you want). I also increase the Saturation setting (for the the "Standard" Picture Control only) by one notch... Try it, see what you think. You can always change back to the default if you think it's too much. Press "OK", "OK", etc. to exit the menus.[/INDENT] The Sharpening adjustment will significantly increase the overall sharpness of your JPG photos; the Saturation adjustment, if you choose to try it, will be more subtle but I think it's just about right personally. Don't be afraid to experiment with these settings since you can always change them back if you find you've gone too far. [/QUOTE]
