Got one today,does the bokeh ,look weird to you on the remote control pictures?

Other pictures seem ok that ive taken with it.

Doesn't look bad to me.

Can you describe what you think is weird about it?

33L · 23 Apr 2008 at 15:08

looks fine to me - its smooth and consistent. again as a bove what do you feel is wrong

Balb0wa · 23 Apr 2008 at 15:11

well the background seems to blur smoothly, the foreground looks a bit wobbly, i dunno, bit odd, other pics look fine.

Am i going crazy?

Show us some bokeh highlights - that usually picks up problems

Mohain · 23 Apr 2008 at 19:06

Looks fine to me.

looks fine to me, you sure you're not confusing the way the buttons make a funny pattern as they fade away into DOF? like the first picture and top middle focus point? is that what your referring to?

The blurry (out of focus) bit of a photo

Bokeh is a term that supposed to describe the out of focus areas. It's very difficult to define what it is, but really it's just how much you like the out of focus bits...

collisster · 23 Apr 2008 at 23:27

the only dodgy bits I can see are on the last photo.

I don't have a comment about the bokeh, doesn't look wrong to me. Gotta say really sharp lens! Looking at number three the twigs are pin sharp! You should be happy

For those not in the know :

Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light. Differing amounts of spherical aberration alter how lenses render out-of-focus points of light, and thus their bokeh. The word "bokeh" comes from the Japanese word "boke" (pronounced bo-keh) which literally means fuzziness or dizziness.
