Hi Guys
I have been having a problem with macro focussing - or at least I think I have. When I focus using the live view screen - all is absolutely perfect on the screen. But the captured image does not seem as sharp as it is when being focused on the live view screen.

I thought it might be due to a light tripod so I used a heavy studio tripod - results not much/any better. Is it possible that the shutter operation can shake the camera sufficiently to cause this problem. As the live view screen displays what the sensor sees I do not see that this is a focus problem - or is it? I have a few other things to try but all comments will be gratefully received.
I hope I've explained my problem.
Regards

Are you using MLU?

Hi Jeff
Thanks - I will try it again - but I think I have explored most avenues now.
