Originally posted by Kenneth3aracing i like to use single-center focus point mode to focus the main object first, then move different angle to get the best graphic of pic without stepping front/back and changing shooting distance.
Do i make my pics out focus?
Sounds like you do. The kit lens is soft, and that is about right (with the exception of the first pic, highlights are blown out) - 1 step of sharpening in PP will make the pics much better. If you use "C" or continuous focus, you may get a little better results.
Now, why are you focusing then moving around? If you are trying to offset focus from center, there are a couple ways you can do this. One is to use "Selectable Focus Points", just use your up/down/left/right pad on your camera body to select the point. The other is to go into manual focusing and do it by eye (or by what you are seeing through the viewfinder of LV). I prefer the manual way as it is more flexible, however, it does take a lot of practice and "Trail & Error"...
