Hi guys,
I have a Canon 6d, I can’t get sharp images on with my camera even at f16 & when shooting with natural light I don’t think enough light gets through cause in a well lit room I sometimes have to use iso2000 to get a useable exposure which.
I have tried the live view mode to focus, the in-camera micro focus adjustments & a tripod.
Lenses I own - Canon 50mm 1.4 & sigma 70-200mm 2.8.
I have also tried the Canon 50mm 1.8, 24-70mm 4.0
All struggled to produce sharp images.
What are your exposure settings, and can you post a sample photo, with EXIF data.
If you are shooting in low light, why are you using such a small aperture setting? Most lenses have their best image quality at f/8. Depending on your desired DOF, depth of field, you could probably shoot at f/4 with the 24mm lens, and still capture most of an average room in focus.
How fast is your shutter? I suggest using a minimum shutter that is 1/FL, or faster. That is one over the focal length, which is the rule of thumb to minimize the effects of camera shake. Using a tripod will eliminate the question of camera shake.
What is wrong with ISO 2000? Your camera should have excellent performance in low light. This was shot with regular lighting in a bar. Someone off to the left was shooting the woman on the left with a video camera with lights.
The above was shot at ISO 10000 or ISO 12800. I think it was ISO 12800. In either case, it was shot with a 6D and a Canon 70-200 at f/2.8 and a focal length of 200mm.
