GFX100 Issue

[Bill Leigh Brewer]

I'm Bill Brewer. I live in the Mojave Desert in California. I just purchased a GFX 100, and I'm trying to get up to speed.

I was out with the camera, using the 32-64 lens. There was some wind, but nothing I would have worried about with previous full frame cameras. Got  home and the images were a little soft! I was on tripod, using a remote shutter release, manual focus using image magnification. IMAGE STABLISATION OFF. Would IS have taken care of the camera shake from the wind?

Welcome here, Bill. I've moved your comment to a new thread in the GFX100 section.

Welcome to the forum Bill. To your question, having IS on may help but you also need to consider other factors. Something as simple as hanging a weight under the tripod will help (try using your camera bag), don't have the top column fully extended, check your Aperture and Shutter settings, for example are you working with a shallow depth of field? Also, if it was windy was your shutter speed fast enough - your subject may have moved in the wind. Finally try using the hyper-focal distance for focusing ( focus on something 1/3 the way up from the bottom of your screen). Would love to hear if any of this was helpful.
