Not sure..
Seems the focus is never exactly where I want it...
Pictures are not as clear as I want them to be...
I'm working on light, composition, but I don't know..
I can't use my camera as an excuse now, cause I got something quite decent...
Maybe I want to get better too fast and am too harsh on myself, but yet...
I don't know...


Focus problems are 99% user fault. If you disagree, you are making excuses :P lol

Try changing your focus setting to AI Servo (Your manual should show you how)

AI Servo is a tracking style of focusing. Basically if you hold down your shutter button half way and you pan your camera around, it will automatically adjust focus to the point you have designated (The little red boxes in the view finder that flash when its found the focal point)

Use this to technique to ensure that whatever you are pointing your camera at it will lock on. Once you are happy, fully depress the shutter button to make the exposure. I use this technique when I do corporate work where I'm waiting on a killer expression.

Do you change the focus points often?

Man I still remember the first time I switched to AI Servo. It made autofocus so much easier!

I have an idea where I'll take a picture 10 min before they're due.
