7D MarkII connected with Canon Camera Connect - blurry images

[Krm0258]

Today I set my 7D Mark II on a tripod with equipped with a Canon 70-200mm F4.  I set the rig up on a covered porch approximately 15 feet from a bird feeder and operated the shutter using the software on my ipad. All of the images can out soft and/or with some blur on the subject.  Is this normal when shooting in this manner?

I had shutter speed set at 2500, f4, although I didn’t recheck the forget to turn off IS

Krm0258,

There are a couple of other things to take into account:

1) The resolution of your iPad. Have you tried uploading the photos to a laptop or a desktop? Do they show the same level of softness/blurriness?

2) What time of day were you shooting? Was it in bright sunlight, or was is low-light dusk or early dawn? If it was in a low light situation, your camera might have had a hard time finding focus.

3) Did you try taking any photos of a stationary subject like the feeder itself where there was no movement at all?
