For sure. When that dog is jumping up at you it's with some serious fast movement & you're going to need a super quick shutter speed to capture him as well as a small enough aperture to capture enough of what you want in focus, in focus. When the dog is a lot more static like in that second...

What are you not happy with? I can see that there are points of focus... i'd say the lens is operating fine. All comes down to where you're focusing & the settings you're using. It's more often then not the user that's messing up rather than the camera or the lens.. but without knowing exactly...

I would suggest watching a few videos on the use of exposure compensation to fully understand how it works in Aperture Priority & Shutter Priority, & also to see how ISO relates to the equation based on whether it's set to auto or not. As Steven says you cannot make use of exposure compensation...

Yeah I'd say you always want to be getting things as right as possible in camera obviously but with that said RAW shooting will almost always benefit from some post editing. The majority of lightroom editors I know will do the same as you & literally push the highlight/shadow sliders to their...
