EOS 6D Mark II Not in focus

Hi,

I have a lot of images that I have taken with my Canon EOS 6D Mark II but when I come home to edit the photos, it's a lot of blurred photos, photos with bad quality or they are just blurry (because of movement), and I can't understand how it's possible because when I'm outside to photograph, it's not easy to see in the photos, but on the Mac at home, it's much more easier to watch if you watch closely. I often use 100 in ISO all the day, except for the evening/night when it's more dark, then I can rise it to 400, 800 or 1600 in ISO, and maybe the aperture-number to lowest (2,8). Often in the day during summer and nice weather, I'm using 100 in ISO and aperture between 18 and 22, sometimes 5 or 8, but often high aperture and low ISO.

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Best regards,
Gerhard

It would be better to start your own topic.  Also, you're going to have to at least provide many more details and as always, providing images along with their settings will be very helpful.

Again re-read my original post. You need to do this first. There may be nothing wrong with your camera so sending it in is a waste of time and money.

Here is what you need to do.............

Reset the 6D Mk II. Menus>tools>clear all settings and clear all custom settings. You need to be at a base standard starting point.

Now put the 6D2 in P mode. Select daylight WB.  Select ISO 200. One shot never Ai-servo and use just the center focus point. Large jpg. Consult your manual if you don't know how to set these. Lens switch on AF not MF.  Use one of your normal FL range lenses like a 24-70mm, etc.  Remember, always put that center focus point on your subject. Don't change any other setting

Now on a nice bright sunny day go outside and take several (the more the better) random shots of lots of different things. Trees, buildings, parks, cityscape, cars, people just random stuff. You don't even need to look at the LCD screen during this test. Now u/l to your computer and check out the photos. If they are nice and OK there is nothing wrong with your gear. That means the problem is either your technique or incorrect settings. If the photos are still blurry, you have a lens problem or camera issue. Keep in mind you must do these steps above exactly as I have stated them. Do not vary and make sure you do each one exactly.

BTW, I would d/l the free from Canon DPP4 if you already don't have it for viewing your photos.
