Went out on a rare clear night to a wetlands near me to take some photos of the stars. As it was so dark, and the stars are so small, I had to rely on the focus peaking function of my camera to tell if the stars were in focus or not.

I’ve got home and started to process the photos, and I’ve found out that despite the camera telling me that they were in focus, they clearly weren’t.

Hey ho, what’s a wasted few hours in the freezing cold between friends…

    You can zoom into the live view.

    Set your focusing to manual focus then use the 100% button.

    Could you practice before you go out? I think the bottom D pad or the FN button is the one that zooms in to 100%.
