Adjust image quality on Canon t6

Kerbpel — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 00:03:11 GMT

Hello,

I cannot figure out how to adjust the image quality on my camera. I read the manual and did it for the best quality images, but it still shows blurry when I take photos. Could anyone help?

Thank you

It sounds like you need to learn some of the basics of photography. Take a look at this series of videos from Canon USA>

You might to search for more YouTube videos. Look for "Exposure Triangle" and "Depth of Field".

Welcome to the forum.

There could be many reasons for blurry photos. We need more information.

Set the camera to Green Square Auto, switch the lens to AF. Go outside midday and focus on a building, car or other large object.

Is the image blurry now?

You should post a few examples, and tell us what lens(es) you have.

"I cannot figure out how to adjust the image quality on my camera."

Keep in mind the camera is just a storage device. It doesn't make images anything. The lens does that. Every image is captured at full resolution and quality. Exactly what the lens told it to do. All you can do in camera is tell it how to store the data.

"...it still shows blurry when I take photos."

You are not getting them in sharp focus for some unknown reason. That is what we need to figure out. Can you supply a sample of what you are seeing? PLus how you set up the camera and how you took the shot?

Hello,

thank you everyone for your responses.

ive attached a photo of what I mean by blurry. This was taken on my t6. It wasn't like this before. Now suddenly the photos are all very pixelated.

same camera, same lens, same autofocus, but the photos were much more clear earlier this spring. Now everything I take comes out pixelated. Did the camera go bad?

Start with resetting all camera settings to original factory and clear all custom settings.

Then format your card(s) in camera.

Next try shooting an outdoor image in good daylight. Set the camera on green square A+. Not the setting to use for general photography, but it turns the camera into a point and shoot and should get a decent photo.

Top the top one looks like JPEG artifacts. What size images are you shooting?

Hit the menu button. One of the wrench menus will give the option to format the card.I would also choose the low level format.

Warning! Everything on the card will be erased.

Somehow, I don't think a T6 has 2 cards. 8^)

You are correct. I mistakenly searched R6.

Your problem is you need to reset the camera as you have set something incorrectly. After that do this; set the mode to P. Set ISO to 200. One shot and set the lens to AF. WB to daylight. Now go outside on a nice day and take several shots of varying subjects especially with vertical lines. Trees, fence, buildings, etc., but general stuff. If all is good there is nothing wrong with your gear. This means you need to learn how to use it. Get up close and personal with the manual. If you don't have the manual you can d/l it from Canon.
