keith reeder Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 <p>Glad to help.</p> <p>We forget sometimes that these cameras are also sophisticated computers, and sometimes they need a reboot.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 <p>"<em>My friend is going to help me figure out if I need to micro adjust the lens so hopefully we will figure it out</em>!"<br> If you are still under warranty I would seriously think about sending the camera to Canon Service and have them check it out. Having to figure out back-focus issues on a $1500 camera is just plain ridiculous to me. I know there are tons of people that are very happy with their 7D's, but this is practically a brand new camera, meaning that all the bugs may not have been worked out yet.<br> I have always been kind of leary about purchasing brand new Models no matter what the Hype, just for that reason. This goes back to purchasing Automobiles. It's always safer to purchase the second or third version of a product because by then, all the previous bugs have been worked out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith reeder Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 <p>Warranty or not, there's <em>no</em> basis for sending it to Canon as yet - the problem may well be the lens, and that's why MFA exists. Canon can't help with the lens</p> <p>Karlee's use of inappropriate focus modes isn't helping either.</p> <p>Only after ruling <em>everything else </em>out is a trip to Canon a legitimate suggestion.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 >>> If you are still under warranty I would seriously think about sending the camera to Canon Service and have them check it out. That's what I'd do. The reason I returned my 7D (and purchased a 5DII) was due to focusing issues producing unsharp images. And I'm definitely not in the camp where sharpness drives my photography - far from that actually. www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbas_haider Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Sorry guys most if not all of these advices are given as if the photographer is having parkiston.

doc444 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 <p>I have used a program call focus magic with great success I will try to put your fixed photo back in here if I can and you can see the difference</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_south Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 My 7D is so sharp it's disgusting. Last week, I caught my 5D mark II trying to steal the 7D's lunch money. All kidding aside, I would,encourage the OP to try again with a very simple test. Select the single AF point. Aim the camera at a flat surface with good contrast. A sunlit brick wall would be a good candidate, or a sign with large letters with clear edges. In Av mode set and aperture of f/5.6 or f/8. If the shutter speed is less than 1/200th second, double the ISO until you reach that mark or above. No mirror lockup, no shutter delay, no live view. See how that goes and get back to us with the test results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlee_brown Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 <p>The focus magic did make it sharper but it looks pixely or grainy of some sort which I don't want because when I want to lets say make her eyes kind of pop, theres no way I can do that with a grainy picture because zoomed in the colors start to blend together. But thanks for all the tips guys.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_bloggs Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 <p>Karlee you are not doing anything wrong, I have been doing similar work as yours for 9 years and have the same problem which I have not encountered before. Every part of your picture is blurry/grainy, nothing to do with focus. I took 82 inside pictures with the 7D Canon camera showing that the pictures were in focus and every one in varying degrees turned out like yours. I took pictures in the same location (Santa Photos) with Sony and Nikon camera's for the next 3 days with no such problems. Every part of every picture was the same, it is not focusing, it is the camera.<br> If I find out anymore I will keep you posted.
