EOS 60D focusing issues

[Audioguy2997]

My 60D indicates that the picture is in focus, all the squares light up red ,the camera beeps & the shutter takes the picture, but when I look at the picture it is not in Focus, this happens in both manual and autofocus modes, this happens on all my lenses it doesn't matter which one i use. it's not completely out of focus, its just that the focus is not crisp. it also doesn't matter under what lighting conditions im shooting in, it could be daylight, tungsten , led

Is any part of the picture in focus?

Do you see the same problem in live view?

No part of the picture has a crisp focus, yes the problem is the same live mode also

That sugests that the problem may be camera shake and/or a shutter speed that's too slow.

"That sugests that the problem may be camera shake and/or a shutter speed that's too slow."

This is exactly why we need to know all the info involved.  It is possible it may not be the gear at all.

It's not blur, it's just slightly soft, this happens even if I'm on a tripod and in auto

If no part of the picture has crisp focus, it is NOT a focus issue!

Try something like this:

Is it in focus if you are at the hyperfocal distance?

From the cited article:

"However if you are shooting with a camera that has microfocus adjustment (like most current EOS DSLRs except for the Rebel series), you can make corrections yourself."

The operative word is "most". The 60D, unlike its predecessor (50D) and successor (70D), lacks that feature.

I wasn't trying to get him to adjust microfocus, just see where the lens is focussing.

I suspect he is shooting a chart (how else could all the leds light) and pixelpeeping at 200% and then  mistaking softness for out of focus.
