I wish I'd had time to really get into the usb dock tuning before I came to Spain on this trip. Unfortunately I only had time after the dock arrived to tune the image stabilisation and never got my head around the focus tuning, or even what it does.
At the time the lens seemed to be working ok so I brought it to Spain with me.
I must say that although it's a load I managed to do a good few miles up and down slopes at high altitude without any ill effects other than a slight ache in my lower back when nature was telling me to turn round and go back down the mountain.
I'm not convinced I've got the focus right. At close range it looks great, but at longer range subjects such as birds in flight, or even perched birds at longer distance the images seem soft. I found that using the stabilisation when hand holding for birds in flight was also a big no no, even in mode 2. Much better results when I remembered to switch it off when I saw a kite, vulture or eagle arriving.
I won't know for certain if I've got a problem until I get back home to my computer. So far I've only viewed them on the camera screen.
Can anyone fill me in on what exactly the focus tuning consists of and does?
