I'd appreciate any advice on my issue. A bit of background, I purchased a 5D Mark III brand new in November of 2016 from B&H. I have been shooting on it for 2 years with no AF issues whatsoever. I brought the camera with me to Banff on a trip and it was accidentally dropped by my friend. I sent the camera to Canon and they cleaned and recalibrated the camera and lens ($500). Please see the attached paperwork for details.
After the incident, my photos have been very blurry. I thought maybe my photography skills were rusty (I had a baby and didn't shoot for a while), so I put the camera in Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority to see if I had the same issue. My photos are still blurry. I shoot mostly outdoors in full sun. I place the focus point on the subject's eye - I even have the AF square to show where the focus point is. The photos are still blurry and not very sharp. I can sometimes get a sharp photos if I take quite a few, but nothing consistent.
I recently tried Back Button Focus and that has helped a tiny bit, but nothing consistent. Many photos are still blurry. I shoot on One-Shot AF, Case 1, 61 points selected. I selected the nearest AF point to the eye on my subject.
Any ideas?! Thanks in advance!
