If you click on “Image Info,” you will see that the ISO was not 200 for this image. It was 1600. There’s your problem.
Look in your custom settings menu and turn off “AUTO ISO.”
You shot at f/5.6 @1/8sec. ISO 200 would require f/5.6 for a full second. At 18mm, you could have used f/3.5, probably for 1/2 sec.
Try again with a tripod.
Be sure to turn the VR OFF if you are using a tripod.
