Read the manual, there's one part about file number sequence. I can't recall which section it is in. It is best to leave the number running, no need to worry having duplicate file names and end up overwritting when copying to PC.

Sorry la bro. really I go trough each main section of my manual but none of them saying if it is overwrite-able
as it you can boost the sharpness, saturation etc etc.. it will shorten the long time of PP.  tongue.gif

If you shoot raw, your raw file will have none of those settings applied. The first thing you will notice if you do shoot raw is... there is NO NOISE REDUCTION applied. So,... yea, you have more things to PP.

But problem with that 45 degree is that lens with maximum aperture 3.5 above give you result that is very hard to read whether there is any front or back focusing.

Also, 1.8 aperture sometimes can give you soft image thus it is even harder to tell about the focus issue.

Try to do the battery test if you find yourself unable to judge the focus problem.  smile.gif

Nope, the bigger the aperture, the easier to know the problem. The smaller aperture will have more in focus, covers more depth, so it's harder to tell.

If you want to do proper focus test, you will need to use tripod and do serious test to know. For basic test without tripod, you can put the camera on the table, line up the batteries, or put a book with wordings 45 degrees, etc. open to the widest aperture and focus and shoot, make sure the camera and object doesn't move. Take several shots, review the pictures and see.

Example:

-|------
--|-----
---|----
----|---
-----|---

---C---

C = Camera
| = Batteries or other objects, or book/paper with words in 45 degrees


If you're handholding and shooting in f/1.4 or 1/1.8, you might not doing it properly where you or the camera might have moved just a little and the actual focus depth/plane changed when you press/release the shutter, resulting in inaccurate test.

If you have time, watch this video tutorial and how this guy test:

Part 2:

Nope, what I mean is at the widest aperture, it is usually not the sharpest(image look soft and hazy) and mostly very hard to get the focus lock on as the DOF is too shallow. whistling.gif

That's the point of opening to wides aperture, for the shallow depth of field so that you can easily pin point which area front or back focus problem. With small aperture, it's harder to differentiate due to the more depth of field covered.
Most people face front or back focusing problem when the aperture is wide open, because they focus on the eyes, but end up the nose or hand, etc is in focus. With smaller aperture, you hardly have such problem.

Unless you wanna do sharpness test for the lens, such as MTF chart, to find out the sharpness at each focal length for each aperture...

Haha, you still don't get it, at the widest aperture the image out of the camera is too soft and hazy(often lack of contrast too), it is too hard to judge about the focus, normally you need to go down 1 f-stop to get the image sharper so as to see the result and easily able to tell the focus issue.
