So Basically I am New In DSLR Photography.
My Main Problem Is That When I Focus Using VIewfinder It Comes Out Blurry.
But When I Use Live View It Comes Out Sharp.
Any Idea What's Going On?

When you do take a picture from the viewfinder. Do the pictures come out in focus. If so then the diopter adjustment next to the viewfinder is out of adjustment. The diopter adjustment is for people who have glasses. So the viewfinder will be sharp and in focus.

Hey lovephotos!

I'm not a tech, but I used to be, and I agree with Demetrius, it sounds like your diopter might need to be adjusted. Take a look at THIS to see if it helps!

Viewfinder is fine
I Guess It Could Be That My Hand Is Shaky.
But What Else Could Possibly Be Wrong Just In Case?

Normally, shooting with the viewfinder is more stable than with the LCD at the back, because holding the camera to your eye produces three points of contact to the camera - giving a tripod effect, as opposed to unsupported forward flexion that is a characteristic of using the LCD.

However with a DSLR, live view uses focus via the sensor itself, while focus with the viewfinder is done with a dedicated set of sensors. Where you might consider is how those sensors interact with the lenses you are using.
Are you using autofocus or manual focus?
Specifically, what lens or lenses are you using, and is there a difference when shooting with these units?
What subjects do you shoot and is there a difference between different types of subject?
What focusing configuration do you use: i.e. number of focus points?
Do you use single focus or AI servo?

Finally, was this situation always the case or has this happened from a certain point? If so, what has changed?
