Hi David,

If you have a mirror lockup feature on your camera, this might 
help.  I dont know if the A80 is a SLR or not, but if it is this 
might be the cause. Another possibility is vibrations from pressing 
the shutter release.  Maybe use the timer function to allow any 
vibrations to dampen out, or use a shutter release cable.
