Pro tip Magnifier
Take time out for a close look
■ Most cameras have a Magnifier function, where you can zoom into the image to check sharpness; this feature is usually available pre- and post-shot. There is much to be said for checking the sharpness before taking the shot but, clearly, this depends on the situation. If possible, dedicate the Magnifier to a function button, so you can call it up while you’re framing the picture. If you are able, set the Magnifier to go straight to the focus point at 100% rather than going through a progression of magnifications.
