Vilusious

Many thanks. I will keep an eye on this.

Yes, appears you have the drive/delete button set to bracket. Just scroll up with the joystick and select still image.

I’m mainly a street photographer taking pictures normally of people approaching me. The weather was beautifully sunny with blue skies. I had the camera set to auto ISO, auto aperture, and shutter speed set to 1/250, average speed for freezing motion. So I took a shot at these settings, reviewed the shot and noticed the displayed shutter speed was 1/160 I took a photo a lady posing for me, same settings and the same thing happened. I have since remembered this has happened many times, I’m not getting the shutter speed I select. After reviewing the static photo, for your reference, the aperture selected was F13, ISO 320. Obviously, with this happening, I run the risk of camera shake. Can anyone please shed light what is happening here? Many thanks, Chris.

Thanks for reply Madmo. Not the most popular subject on this forum, hence the number of replies. But sometimes I look too deeply into things and perhaps stick with the simplest of methods and try not to be over clever I think back button focus is the best method for this kind of photography and proved it to myself after revisiting the exact same location after the previous visit, the shots were out of focus. Second time around, the shots were fine Thank you for the link

I love this camera, best I’ve ever owned. However, I want to improve my hit rate, eg, in focus to make it the most accurate. I nearly always shoot from the hip, shooting people as they approach me, so they are moving, all be it slowly. I’m aware of back button focus, and have had much success with this. But I feel I can get more success with auto focus. Single point focus gives me access to 325 focus points, also available in manual focus, yet single focus is not recommended for this type of photography! I’ve always used 91 Auto focus/continuous gives me a slight delay before the shot is made. I don’t think this is an option. Can you please give me your recommendations for the conditions described? Many thanks. (I use a 23mm f2). Not an ad, may I post Chris.mazda5mx on instagram for examples?
