for normal shooting try this
How about YOU take control of your camera
Turn off auto ISO, set to ISO 100
Use aperture priority. choose the aperture that works creatively for you. Remember too wide and your DOF tightens and you get a lot more distortions. Too narrow and you edge towards diffraction issues
Keep an eye on the shutter speed. Whilst you are not using a telephoto lens, if it drops below 1/60th second, manually bump up the ISO slightly
--
At a pixel level, barley anything looks sharp - that's the point, they are just little squares that differ to each-other. just fiew your images at "full screen on a computer monitor. if they look sharp there, they are sharp. When you understand a lot more, doing micro adjustments to sharpness at 100% zoom is going to help extract the last drop out of a shot, but until then accept that 99.89% of the time a full screen shot is more than good enough
