Manually Focussing

[daddo_1600]

Hey guys,

I see alot fo pictures posted up here and try to perform as good as them but feel i dont get the standard of quality that i believed it reached by other users here...the pictures just ssem so vibrant and sharp...i have started playing with MF on my G1 and see how much more i can refine my image quality...is this the technique used...i mean using a TZ7 or Zs3 at work and zooming to try determine focus and noise i seem to not be able to produce the same image quality.... any hints or tips would be great...thanks guys

I am perhaps not besy placed to offer advice from the many on this forum, but I think you need to be a bit more specific, and show examples, to assit in getting a short answer. Your question otherwise requires a volume or two.

Two things to kick off though:

1- Do you speak of a loss of sharpness of the main subject, or are you noticing reduced depth of field from the larger sensor?

2- For optimum photo processing the starting block is a RAW image. Are you shooting RAW?

Let's see some shots please.
