Hi All,
I have a D3100, of which a 35mm 1.8 is attached a majority of the time. Although it is a fantastic lens, I am relatively disappointed with my ability to get the eyes to really pop and look 'tack' sharp - which is obviously disappointing in a portrait.
I use auto focus with a single focus point, shooting in manual exposure mode. For portrait shots I generally shoot wide open in most situations, and position the focus selection point on the eye nearest to me. Although my shots are OK, the eyes just aren't quite right - or as good as they could be.
Am I correct in thinking it is possible to fine tune/calibrate the autofocus on the camera itself or on the lens, or have I misinterpreted something? Or is my kit too basic to entertain such an idea.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
