Hi folks looking for some help & advice
I bought a D500 a few days ago to work along side my D4, im a pro motocross tog. This weekend i used it in anger at a race meeting and although it did produce some very nice images i found a great deal of them where soft and a bit warm or muddy. I did use the auto fin tune and found it was the same with or without dialing in the adjustment. Was using it with my 70-200 VR2 and exif can be seen if you click the pics and can also view at full size. The images this weekend where mostly way behind the crispness i get from my D4, im hoping i can get the d500 performing so i trust it when working as currently i dont feel confident with it.
Shooting MX you will always get some OOF images but there are a lot like the sample bellow. Maybe im just being a bit paranoid and chimping a lot more as its a new body
