I could use some help please.
My photos show blur / fuzz to the point that a face can not be recognized.
Nikon D3500 with 70-300 DX VR.
Photos taken at 300mm. Distance to subject is 100+ meters.
Stationary subject.
I tested with several different settings.
I wouldn't be bothering you guys if I hadn't tested everything I am aware of.
VR on VR off - same results.
1/1000 1/4000 - same results.
Compression fine / raw - same results.
File size S / M / L - same results.
ISO 200 / 800 - same results.
f6.3 - f32 - same results.
I can't fault the compression algorithm because I get pin sharp images (fine JPG) from the 18-55 kit lens.
Could the VR of the 70-300 have failed?
I can't blame the optics because, I see everything perfectly sharp in the viewfinder.
Do I expect too much from this setup?
Obviously some cameras are capable of taking pin sharp photos at 100+ meters.
What do you think?
In the samples focus was on the ANIMAL truck back and roof ridge in the middle of the image.
