>>3352417>>33525996: ISO levels past 800, on non-professional cameras, are usually fairly noisy. Refer to a chart for your camera's noise levels at various ISO settings. Some cameras actually increase quality at certain points, but generally everything drops. The added noise levels can make an image appear blurrier than it normally would. This is especially true when the image is black and white.
>>3352431In this one, I think the front edge of the DOF is on the bird's tale and the head is outside the DOF in addition to some slight motion blur going on. I'm judging this on the fact that the wooden posts in the back are sharper than the bird is. Keep in mind that some things like moire can cause problems. I think the ILCE-6000 has auto-AA to prevent moire problems? If it does and it is turned on then things like close ups of bird feathers, fine wood grain, screen, etc can cause the auto-AA to blur the feathers to prevent moire problems. Personally, I'd rather have the moire problem and have the choice to fix it in post if I need to.
>>3352431Could be, but you won't know until you print out a camera focus chart and start taking photos of it at different lengths using a tripod and remote while keeping the lens at f/8 and having the chart well lit.
>>3352437>>3352434I've not used that camera, but what i'm reading is that only certain lenses have SteadyShot capabilities and that if you take long exposures or use a tripod, you should turn it off. If the lens doesn't have that capability then the feature is useless even if the camera says it is "on" or whatever.
