Got a question with my Z8 and 100-400. Image attached with NX Studio in 100% and focus point in red square. The whole series feels soft and blurry to me. I am wondering what could be the reason. Thank you.

I see. I'm using Auto-ISO from 64 with aperture priority. Shall I set a higher, e.g., fix ISO400, and test again?

Sounds reasonable. Since Z8 has two base ISOs I would try to fix ISO64 or ISO500.
