I shot indoors under dim lighting and struggled getting sharp quality. The image below was shot at: 1/125 8.0 ISO 3200

My thinking was the ISO was high enough, the shutter speed fast enough and my manual focusing sharp enough for a more focused subject. What could I have done to make the subject more in focus and sharper?

In this context I'd have gone as wide open as possible with the aperture.. 2.8 minimum perhaps even 1.8

Shutter speed is probably ok at 1/125 but perhaps using a wider aperture could have allowed you to go for a faster shutter - depends on how much the subject was moving!

The blur here is almost definitely shutter speed I'd guess?

  • Oh and I think automatic focus might have helped - again depending on how still the subject was – Becky Joy Feb 17 '17 at 21:14
  • I personally focus much better manually than my camera does in low light, But that is not to say that I focus well in low light all the time. I need a new camera. – Alaska Man Feb 19 '17 at 17:09
