EOS M50 Video sharpness and quality

Fra85 — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 13:50:24 GMT

Hi, I'm using a Canon M50 to film videos for my YouTube channel. The default sharpness (4) is very high, so I reduced it to 2.

Here is a sample of a video. Do you think it's too blurry? Also, when I crop the image to zoom in, it gets very blurry. Is it normal?

Thank you in advance for your help!

The video is shot in 1080 and the picture style is Standard.

Yes, because video already starts at low resolution. Cropping only makes it worse.

Get the proper lens and frame it right, don't crop.

Hi, the video is in Full HD. I only lowered the sharpness level in the camera.
