what is the difference?

HI, I took these with my new 40D. I have been having a terrible time with it. Anyway, I took all three of these shots one behind the other. One of them is very blurred, one lightly blurred and one is fine. I don't get it. I did no pp on them. I know he has acne.

Thanks for any help.

It looks like you were using flash. Can you post the exif for each. That will probably answer the question.

Since you are using a flash I would try at least f/8 and 1/120 sec. There is nothing in focus on the 2nd shot so that has to be camera shake.

What focus point(s) were you using? One-shot, AI-Servo? Just showing 3 images without more info makes it hard to tell what your problem is.

They were all at f/4 and 1/60 sec and pattern metering. FLs were between 28mm and 38mm.

I would say it was just to slow of a shutter speed and to small of an aperture. Try doing some as posted above; f/8 or f/11 and shutter speed of 1/180 in M with TTL.
