Hello,

I've made a lot of pictures of birds yesterday with my P900, but when I came home to see them, almost all picture were not sharp at all.

Attached 3 examples.

Robin: ISO 100, F8.0, 214mm, 1/160s 

Bluethroat: ISO 100, F6.3, 321mm, 1/250s

Shoveller: ISO 125 (auto 100-400), F5.6, 143mm, 1/500s

Especially the Bluethroat is not sharp in general, looking at the eye for example.

The shoveller however, is for me an acceptable quality.

My camera settings:

Mode - U(ser) : with shutter speed adjustable

Active D-lighting: N

Noise reduction filter: NR

Flash exp. comp.: +0.3

Autofocus mode: AF-F (choices AF-S single AF)

AF area mode: Manual Spot (choices; Face priority, Manual normal, Manual wide, Subject tracking, Target finding AF)

ISO: fixed at 100

Continuous: H

White balance: Auto1

Picture control: SD

Image quality: Fine

 

Could this be a mechanical issue? Or is the low ISO causing this problem?

Is there a way to recalibrate the focus of the camera?

 

Thanks in advance.
