EOS 5D Mark IV photos coming out soft and blurry

[Sannystac07]

I have been reading about solutions for "soft" looking photos or should I say blurry photos and I'm beginning to think there's no solution. I've tried everything and my daughter has the same issue. I try to fix the softness in Lr but it only does so much. Remini is okay for fixing this as long as it doesn't make your human look too unrealistic. This is an ongoing issue and probably nothing that the shooter is doing wrong.

The is no reason that the 5D Mark IV is not capable of producing sharp images with proper settings and technique.

Can you post to Dropbox or One Drive some RAW photos from your camera that you feel look soft or blurry?

What lens are you using? What environment are you in (e.g. low light)?   As John mentioned, please provide some examples of what you're seeing.

"The is no reason that the 5D Mark IV is not capable of producing super sharp images ..."

Remember the lens makes the shot. The camera is merely a storage device that saves the data the lens collected. Oh, sure, the camera does some processing depending on how you have it set up but that is only telling it how to save the photo. Most of the time a camera like the 5D Mk IV does exactly what you tell it to. So, it is possible you set something incorrectly. It is also possible there is something missing in your shooting technique.  A sample of  what you are seeing would help us a lot to determine which.

Your best practice is to use Raw format and do all the image processing and editing in post. Lightroom and Photoshop are  my favorite goto platforms for that. But the latest DPP4 from Canon is very good and it is free. You can't beat free!

Yep, agree with all of the above, it is highly unlikely that the camera is the issue.  So, we come down to lenses and how the camera (and lens) are configured and operated - at this stage it is too early to rule any of those out.  We definitely need several examples that are large enough to view in detail, plus the camera settings: lens, focal length, f/shop, s/speed and ISO please.

@ginafancher,  **Edit - Seems the mods took care of this.**

Welcome,

This is your first post.  This thread is nearly 2 years old with no replies until yours.  

If you would like assistance, please start a new thread and include the model of your Canon product, lenses, and any accessories you are using.  It would be helpful if you could also provide sample images with shooting information.

This will give your issue the visibility it deserves.  No one here is going to recommend cracked versions of third party software.  DPP is a much better option and is free.  Please start a new thread with the requested information.

Thanks in advance.
