Hi,

I have bit the bullet and are trying to grapple with manual mode, I have been experimenting with taking light readings from different sources sky / grass / grey board / palm at different f stops, then recomposing and taking the picture.

However I am suffering with focus and getting pin sharp images, for example I was told that on f22 particulary you need to be on manual focus and turn the focus ring to about the 2ft indicated then take the picture, I think I am missing something fundamental.

Any help appreciated.
