Shooting a camera is very similar to shooting a gun. My wife cannot take a sharp photo cause she jerks at the shutter release as if it will recoil back at her. When shooting a gun you need to put your finger on the trigger and squeeze slowly. Try the same with the camera, put your finger on the shutter release and move only your finger slowly on the shutter release. I suspect you are closing your entire fist around the camera when you push the shutter release. Slow and steady. Never try to take pics with one hand. If you are still having problems increase the ISO to 200 until you get a little more steady.

Um doods?
I think he's having problems mostly in the act of shooting, not from his pics... He said that his problems are when looking through the viewfinder...

But I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express for a long time, so I probably really shouldn't be trusted to know what I'm talking about. :-) |
Almost spit my coffee out! Thanks for the good laugh before I go to work :)

That's the first thing I thought of when I read Robert's (Bear_Music) post earlier about stance and holding the camera. ;^) Reminded me of Trap Shooting days... |

| Thanks for all the responses. My pics seem to come out ok - its just the focusing part. I just want the clearest photo possible. Not sure if my unsteadiness is causing much of a problem, but just want to make sure that I have the sharpest pics I can. |

I read somewhere that you should, and I believe everything I read. But I don't think I'll turn it off in the future. I don't think it harms anything to leave it on - might only save on battery use if you turn it off.

What happens with older IS systems if they are switched on while the camera is on a tripod is that the vibration level detected is very small. Yet the IS still tries to correct for it, but the smallest possible correction is way too much, so the IS tries to compensate for that, but that's way too much as well and so the IS tries again to compensate for that and so on...
