It only takes a small amount of front or back focus to make your subject(s) look unsharp.
#Soft lens blur iso#
If you notice that you must use a very high ISO to freeze motion because the maximum aperture of your lens is f/5.6 at the focal length you require, it might be worth considering upgrading to a lens that features a wider maximum aperture at that same focal length (or focal length range).
One thing to note is that wider aperture lenses will allow you to use faster shutter speeds while keeping high-ISOs at bay. If your subject isn't moving, using a tripod (or some other form of solid stabilization) and 2-second timer (combined with your camera's mirror lock-up feature) can help eliminate the effects of camera shake. Experience is often the best teacher when it comes to determining the optimal shutter speed for obtaining sharp images in any specific situation. For more static subjects, a shutter speed of 1/focal length is a good place to start. Fast action (i.e., sports) may require a shutter speed in the 1/500 - 1/2000 second neighborhood.
"as fast as it takes" is the true (but seemingly unhelpful) answer. If you notice a fairly uniform blur across the entire frame, but the blur is directional (with sharper contrast lines running in a specific direction), or else your images' EXIF information indicates a relatively slow shutter speed for the focal length was being used, then your images likely suffer from camera shake induced by the photographer.įor more conclusive results, you can conduct a Control Test (found at the bottom of this article) to see what kind of sharpness you should expect when subject and/or camera movement has been eliminated from the equation.įortunately, the solution to the problem is also straightforward – use a faster shutter speed. If you notice sharp areas of your frame, but moving subjects are blurred, you know that your shutter speed was not fast enough to freeze action. Thankfully, diagnosing and counteracting the problem are fairly straightforward. Probably one of the most common sources of image softness is motion blur, either caused by subject movement or camera shake. Subject and/or camera movement (Shutter speed is too slow) Therefore, it's important to isolate each variable to try to determine the exact source of the problem in order to help formulate a solution that aids in achieving sharper images.ġ. There are several variables that can have an adverse effect on image sharpness.
