Steve Ricoh Posted October 22, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Taken at 1/45, f3.5, ISO 4000. It's a dynamic situation with the couple walking, so combinationally not the sharpest image on the net. Must improve my technique using a RF. I've become too lazy using AF cameras!

MarkP Posted October 24, 2015 Share #3 Posted October 24, 2015 Nice photo. I don't know what you're on about with the focus. Looks fine, at least here. Here, I would have decided where along the corridor I wanted them to be when I took the photo, and prefocus to a structure adjacent to that position.

gwpics Posted October 24, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 24, 2015 Steve Maybe it is the combination of the slow shutter speed and the high iso which has led to a camera shake/noise combination which makes you think it is soft. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted October 24, 2015 MarkP, I'm sort of coming to the opinion that a RF is best used in the 'trapper' mode, as you sort of implied. In this instance I had the camera hanging around my neck and only had moments to focus and press the release when my brain said, here's an opportunity with the poster and two people walking. Gerry, I suspect you're correct! Not sure an AF would hve done any better, certainly not my U43 kit indoors and at high ISO. It's probably the relatively low shutter speed being the killer here. 1/45 is in line with the 1/focal length guidance, but I've read that the rule is about 4x less than it should be for an ustabilised FF 24M sensor, so at 35mm fl a minimum of 1/125 or more (140 according to my arithmetic). It's swings and roundabouts, of course, higher shutter speed has impact on ISO and or aperture, the triangle of control options. Good photographers pre-empt all this of course, which takes a lot of concentration, looking for potential shots and having the camera set correctly at the ready.
