focus during full body shots

[hawk911]

My images taken of full body seem a bit fuzzy. It's not due to shutter speed; I think it's the AF lock. If i focus on her eyes, at 24mm FL, i'm sure the AF is not as sharp as it should be. Any suggesations, as I want nice crisp full body shots too.

BTW- i'm using a Sigma 24-70 F2.8 for full body.

Sounds to me like the change in camera angle from pointing at the eyes to recomposing for the full figure is beyond your depth of field and you may be too close to the model. What aperture are you using? I try to shoot at f8-f11. Also try moving back a bit and using a longer focal length. If there isn't enough light for f8, up the ISO so you can use the smaller apertures.

I was shooting 5.6 or 6.3. I'll try that next time.
