When do you use manual focus? in c/photography@viewfinder.pro

Kids these days ๐Ÿ˜‚

Kidding.

Amateur photographer here, and my camera doesn't have the best autofocus, so I let it try and I adjust manually.

Am I asking too much of my old a5000? in c/photography@viewfinder.pro

Youtubers do that all the time to show how awesome their cameras are. Are they lying?

Well, I'm not cropping, I'm just zooming in to look into the details.

Am I asking too much of my old a5000? (alien.top)
 

I love my old sony a5000. But as I get my toes wetter with techniques and tutorials and editing, I often think it is not so great anyome.

Please see this: https://imgur.com/a/XPLLBmx This is the RAW file open in RawTherapee, with no processing applied beyond the camera specific distortion corrections.

It was a sunny day. I have my ISO set to auto. The picture is not blurry because of long exposure or anything, but it's simply not clear and sharp. Granted, that's a lot of zooming on the software editor, but shouldn't it be sharper?

What am I doing wrong? Any advice would be appreciated!
