Flash. Lessons. Using In Camera Zooming Preview to Test Image Sharpness. A Post By: Darren Rowse “Darren I love digital photography but one of my greatest frustrations is that I when I’m out using my camera I will check how my images look on my camera and they look fantastic but when I get home and upload them to my computer they are look quite average, usually blurry or slightly out of focus.” Question submitted by Geoff.
