Hi all, I rarely take any video clips but when I do, they are always jerky. I have watched various YouTube videos on the subject but still can't see to get a decent video when I am moving the camera. I have a Canon 80D so limited to 1080 which isn't an issue given the amount of time I use video...

Just realised that I think the focus point element relating to the bird is misleading. I use single-point centre/back button to focus, and then the re-compose. Therefore the display is showing the focus point that was used to lock focus, and not what was focused on. I have checked through a...

Just read that when using back button focus, that DPP4 doesn't show the focus points.

No filters used on those photos, unfortunately,

I use back button focus and have it set to single spot focus. With the bird, it was moving about hence it not being on the eye, and the photo was taken through the optical viewfinder.

When I get time I will go through all the photos with this 'effect' and see if there are any common settings.

That's really interesting (I forgot about DPP for checking focus points) as the area I focused on (or tried to) on that second image was the fields on the hill opposite. I wanted the wall to be soft focus.

I have my wifes 1300D that I can try it on, plus I have a 50mm prime without IS that I can try on mine. Always frustrating with an intermittent issue as sometimes I might go on a hike, fire off 100 or so snaps as I'm going, and no issues. I have uploaded three photos that don't show the issue.

I also get the issue handheld, so not sure it is related to IS/tripod use. I started noticing it a few months ago, and that was when I had taken photos in what is my normal mode of operation, which is handheld with the 24-105 when out hiking. In all of those cases the IS and AF will both be on...

Hi all, thanks for the feedback. I tend to use a 2 second timer on the tripod photos, and I sometimes use AF and sometimes MF, and I switch off the IS unless it is very windy where I may leave it on to compensate. I've compared the issue to ones where I have deliberately not focused correctly...

Hi, the three on the tripod were manually focused. Also, to me the 'blur' does not look like it being out of focus, it looks a little like shift in the image.

Hi All. A while ago I created a post as I thought that I had an issue with my Canon 24-105 f/4 L lens, with some photos being blurred. However, after coming back from a week away and using both this lens, and my Canon 70-200 f/4 L I have noticed that the issue is on both lenses, so it must be...

I have just added a JPG of another photo as an example. If you look at the garden area that is an example of this intermittent issue.

Hope you had a great week, we just popped there for a few hours and just enjoyed sitting by the sea.

The issue is that it only started a few weeks ago. I went on a hike and noticed a few of the images with this 'blur' so assumed that I had done something different, but have then noticed it a number of times since then with the same lens. When I am out hiking I just have the camera set to AV...
