I've had this happen before. Somehow, I had hit the AF/MF slide just enough to put it in between the two. Everything looked great when I took the pic. Saw them on the computer and was on a mission to figure out why. Saw it when I looked at the lens. You'd think that would have taught me a lesson to always check that feature...but it has happened twice. (I'll just claim blonde!)

Pictures before and after are fine as far as being sharp goes. I know it's out of focus but that catchlight indicates some sort of shake. I'm fairly confident the IS was turned off as I recall checking that. It is a family pic and others in the pic look the same so not subject movement.
It screams too slow a shutter speed but that's not the case.
Here is the one following. In focus, no camera shake...same exact everything else.
JWHunt, I shoot at various ISOs and while I agree that it makes LESS difference than with film, I've never heard it suggested that shooting at lower ISOs is a bad thing.
Great shot by the way.

Even the tree in the background is less sharp in the first than the second. And it looks a little darker too, considering it's the same exposure settings. Do you think something could have passed in front of the lens? Like an insect or something? It kind of reminds me of shooting a bird through foliage where the foliage itself is just a darkness, but the bird is thrown out of focus as well.

Originally posted by Shane View PostI think the catch light is out of focus, so it is bigger, and the bottom of the blurred circle is where the brightest light showed up. Just a guess though. Weird.
