EOS R7 and EOS R5 RF100-500mm RF70-200mm usmz-grainy, crappy shots

[Ceddy]

Hi, I have a Canon R7 and R5 paired with Rf100-500mm and Rf70-200mm usmz, and I am struggling at getting good captures. I shoot wildlife and used to shoot with the Canon 6d mkii and Tamron 150-600mm g2, and produced very good (not professional grade but for my level, very good without editing) and now 90% of my shots are grainy, noisy. I know it's a vague question but any feedback on what could be happening, settings, etc.? I get it if I were at a high IS, low light, or blurred photos however it's grainy and not crisp on nearly everything I shoot. I was trying to upload some pictures for examples but my files are too big. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If I need to upload some samples, I will try and resize some samples. Thank you in advance!

Steve, for the posted image the OP is using Spot AF in Servo with animal tracking and eye = auto.

Would that be a realistic issue that could be causing my "grainy" appearance is that I have my shutter speed too high? 

[Ceddy]

Oh, wait, I posted the wrong example, this was the R7 with rf100-500mm. I do have the 70-200 with a 1.4tc on the r5, with grainy results as well.  ugh...my questions remain the same, however.

Ok, I am very amateur in the photography world- so all of that is totally greek to me, so I will do what I can. Can you see the picture at all that I uploaded? I was able to re-size the photo. 

[Ceddy]

Thank you for the encouraging words, however, maybe I will need to add a different example. I am thinking maybe Shadowsports addressed my concern also by stating that I am set at 1/1600th on a static object. 

[Ceddy]

Should I not be doing that? 

[Ceddy]

Should I not be using those settings together? Is OP mean operator? I am so NEW at this!!!! Thanks for your input and time!

Servo, spot auto focus

@Ceddy which 70-200mm lens EF or RF. Is this the F/2.8 or F/4 version of the lens. Also is this the Canon brand mount adapter. Adding a teleconverter you loose light and you add extra glass. Teleconverters aren’t that great. It takes a performance hit to the lens and AF system. The lens will focus slower and you loose light. Ie a 1.4x teleconverter you loose 1 stop of light. If an EF version are you using the Canon brand teleconverter. Also which model of it are you using. I believe Canon made 3 versions of the 1.4x & 2x teleconverter.

Initial thoughts.  There's no reason to be shooting a stationary subject at 1/1600 of a second at an ISO of 3200.  “

I always photograph stationary wildlife at high shutter speeds, especially the small ones. Many times they are still because they are frozen with fear, and are quivering or micro shaking.  I suspect the high ISO is a side effect from the lens.

 

To the OP, Ceddy. I suggest that you stop using Spit AF. Using it doesn’t cause the camera to focus more accurately. What it does is reduce the size of the focus area the camera uses.  This increases your odds of missing focus.
