EOS R6 Mark II focuses on wrong thing or nothing at all

Hello,

I have had my Canon R6 Mark 2 for about 1 year now and i've loved it! The past month and a half though i've had some major focusing issues. In the images I take there seems to be little to no focus in the image. I have tried many of the different autofocus settings on the camera and nothing seems to help. I have also made sure both the camera sensor and lenses are clean. For lowlight I am usually shooting at 1/320 at 2.8 at 3200ISO. These are also the settings used for the image below. In the camera it shows the focus being on the person's eye, but then it shoots down to the guitar or sometimes not at all. Unfortunately this is not just a low light issue, it is the same for regular lighting as well. Any help is appreciated, thanks! SS: 1/320 AP: 2.8 ISO: 3200

I should also state that all of the firmware is up to date and I have tried moving the focus point manually to the subjects face. Thanks!

Does this happen under different and better shooting conditions?

TylerO,

Is it always the same lens, or have you tried different lenses?

And, are you using single point autofocus, or are you using some kind of tracking?

What lens are you using if an adapted EF lens. Also what mount adapter are you using.

Have you ever figured this out? I am having the same problem with the autofocus. It is unreliable and frustrating

This thread is old. I suggest that you start a new thread. Include a sample photo that has EXIF data. Describe shooting conditions. How often does it happen? Etc.
