Like Narayanan Sir pointed out, the picture of the baby was out of focus.
Sometimes the camera has a mind of its own, thanks to the advanced technology!
If you look into my viewfinder you find 9 focus points in the shape of a diamond. Obviously, when I have the little one in a big chair and the chair is a few feet in front of a wall, the camera decides that it got a hit on 4 points out of 9 on the chair, 4 on the wall and 1 on the kid! So, it focused on the chair. The fact that baby is a fast mover, does not help.
Now that I have read the manual, I can actually make sure that the point that lights up in red is the center point! and the results are much better.
The zoom rocks! Picked this little one at almost 90 feet!
Poonam wanted the little one parceled to her. Tonight I plan to post some photos when baby is doing combo #1. Poonam will beg for a return shipping label after seeing those photos..
