Thanks! The main issue I have is the focus. I starting manually focusing and that seemed to help on some shots. I was shooting in aperture priority, since I don’t fell comfortable using full manual mode. White balance was set on cloudy as per some suggestions I read online. Any of tips for camera setup?

I really like this little lens. I will post up some pics I took of my daughter in another thread.
