Wow, no matter what I try to do, I'm having trouble with the Focus Point vs DOF..
Lets say we are at F/16, and speed to match...and Focus point is in center of a frame,,
I still get Blur almost everywhere, except actual focus area... Do you guys follow the rule of focusing actually 1/3 into the frame before actual subject, to insure sharpness throughout?
In other words Do you focus ahead of the subject to ensure subject is in focus as well as foreground and background?
This is with the 18 to 55 mm Lens... shots always seem to not be sharp overall...
Thinking that at F/ 11 ...16... 22... I should have sharp focus throughout the frame, but sharpest area is at Focus Point, and everything before and after falls off...no matter which focus area ( AF Point ) I use, auto, select, center...
There must be a method to this focus madness and DOF Balance, but I can't find it..
Anyone using the K200D ? Could sure use some pointers on how you Focus, and maintain a full frame of sharpness?
