    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is the right forum but Seriously this Camera is driving me bonkers. But then again I love it so much when we work together lol.

    I find that the focusing on this camera is really just too Accurate. Is there anyway to speed up the focus to shoot process ?
    I find that I focus perfectly but due to unsteady hands I don't get the clarity I should when I press the shutter button.

    Another thing I seem to find is that when I shoot on full auto, I get a good idea of how the camera sees the light conditions. When I select the same settings on my camera and shoot the images are either completely underexposed or a black screen.

    Anyone put me out of my misery please with some helpful tips ?

    For the first problem at least, focus manually to your normal subject distance, make sure you're stopped down enough to cover any leeway and fire away. Or read up on hyperfocal distances if you want to eliminate any potential errors. Focusing hyperfocally and shooting has been a technique of street photographers since the dawn of street photography.
