Things To Check Before Calibrating

If you are unsure of whether you need calibration, there are a number of things to consider. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:   

• Was the correct focus point (s) used?
• Was the choice of focus point selection left to the camera? 
• Did you observe the minimum shutter speed rule?
• Was your choice of shutter speed sufficient to prevent image blur / movement? 
• Are you using a filter with your lens, if so is it a branded / quality filter?
