Soft Images on a Tripod?

[airbusky]

Hello All,

 

New to the Fuji X system with an X-T20. Previous Camera Canon 5D Mk II.

 

I have been getting excellent results with hand held photography but my first outing with a tripod has me wondering. 

 

All of my images from my tripod testing are not sharp. Using an X-T20 the 18-55 lens, mechanical shutter, high f stops, OIS off and the same tripod used with the 5D.

 

Using back button focus, bracketing +/- 2 stops and using the 2 sec timer.

 

This technique worked fine with the 5D in the Live View mode.

 

Shutter shock from the mechanical shutter?

Be sure your OIS switch on the 18-55 lens is in the off position when using a tripod.

Some sample pics may help.

 

Shutter speed, iso settings, etc....

Very odd.  There shouldn't be any softness due to shutter shock.

 

Since it sounds like you did everything correctly, I have to wonder if accidentally the S/C/M focus select got bumped and image wasn't properly focused first?  Using back button focusing, regardless of focus mode should have set focus correctly ..... should have.
