I am digiscoping with a Samsung Note 10+ and a Zeiss Diascope 85 t*FL.
The sun was over my right shoulder, and it was roughly an hour before sunset. Seemed to be excellent lighting.
However, I cannot seem to focus properly. Why is part of this House Finch, his head, in focus (Although, not razor sharp as I would have expected), but the branch he's on and his lower body aren't? Very frustrating.
I tried AF, and also tried manual. I initially was using Filmic Firstlight camera app, but also tried my native Note 10+ camera.
I had the same issue with the Goldfinch (also, attached here) and later a Mallard.
Does this look like a defective camera, or some other issue like user error? I do not have much knowledge of photography jargon, so...
I included the Oriole, because it was taken an hour or two prior, and in a shaded area at a different park. Still not exceptional, but far better focus than the House or Gold Finch.
This is a phone I have only had a couple of weeks. And, it was an insurance replacement. So, that MIGHT be the issue, but I think I had similar issues, but not as obvious with the first Note 10+.
HELP!?
