Q: I dropped my camera on the ground. Everything seems to be working okay but my shots just don’t seem as sharp anymore. Are there any tests I can run to see if the sharpness is still okay?

A: The first step is to do some tests. Set your camera back up on your tripod (where nothing can knock it over) and take some shots with your lens opened up all the way (lowest number aperture) and note what you are focusing on. Then go to your computer and check your sharpness. If your lens feels odd in any way, you should get it checked. Depending on how long you have had it, it may still have a warranty.
