EOS Rebel T6 Photos look fine on camera but blurry on computer

[Matthew_24]

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T6 Digital SLR Camera. I have not had an issue moving photos from the camera to my computer before, until my latest shoot.

The photos look completely fine in the preview on the camera. However, when I move them to my computer via memory card, they look extremely blurry and not good. I would definitely appreciate any advice you may have about how to solve this. I believe the high-quality images are available, as I see them in the camera. But, if you have any ideas on the transfer so they show up on my computer, I would greatly appreciate it.

“ … the pictures the OP posted look like the lens was set to MF instead of AF. This doesn't look like a shutter speed problem.”

I agree with rs-eos. The photo seems uniformly OOF, out of focus.  That’s a red flag for a slow shutter speed or camera shake. 

The image has the appearance that the onboard flash didn’t fire.  It probably should have automatically fired when using Intelligent Auto mode, Green [A+] on the top dial.

@Waddizzle On newer Rebel cameras the flash doesn’t pop up by itself in A+ Mode. The user must manually pop up the flash as if the mode dial were set to the Creative Zone (M, Av, Tv & P) modes.

@Waddizzle yes some older Rebels do but newer Rebel models just have Green Square/ A+ Mode on the mode dial. There isn't a separate No Flash Auto mode instead the user chooses if flash is used or not. It appears the EOS Rebel T6 is an older one with 2 different Auto positions. The mode dial on the EOS Rebel T8i lacks the No Flash Auto Mode. I didn't have the manual in front of me so I didn't know if that was the case for the EOS Rebel T6.

I am not following your logic. Non sequitor. 

My screenshot is from the T6 User Guide, page number is shown.  The xxxxD bodies, T# in the US, were entry level bodies for absolute beginners. 

The ###D bodies, T#i in the US, are entry level bodies. Two very different camera designs.

@Waddizzle now the pictures do lack flash. But I was trying to go off of knowledge I had of a newer Rebel regarding flash operation. But since the EOS Rebel T6 was an older model I had no idea that it actually had a dedicated no flash auto mode. But the pictures look clearly out of focus leading me to believe that AF wasn't working for some reason. Like the lens being set to MF so the camera would take pictures regardless if its in focus or not. If the lens was set to AF and focus wasn't achieved the camera wouldn't allow the shutter to fire.

Matthew_24,

The first thing I would do is eliminate your card reader as a possible source of the problem.

You say that they look fine in your camera, but are all blurry both on your computer and on a cloud storage site. 

Do you have a USB cable? Canon recommends a USB to Mini B cable  four T6.

If you have one, if you plug your cable into your computer, and the other end into the USB port on your camera, your computer should recognize your camera as a separate drive, and you can copy and paste the images.

You can also use Canon's proprietary software, EOS Utility to handle the download for you. Here is Canon's support page for the T6: https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/eos-rebel-t6

But you have to tell  Canon what kind of operating system your computer has, and I don't know that.

When you uploaded your pictures to the cloud, did you do that from your camera, or from your computer? It's possible that your computer is screwing things up. Have you tried viewing them on a different computer?

Your pictures are definitely blurry, and normally I would suggest trying a different lens, but you say they look fine on the camera, so I don't think it's your lens.

What software converted the photos to PNG files? That software might be the source of the blur. The PNG files appear to me to be thumbnails that were upsized by some software.

I suggest using the free to download Canon DPP software to view the files on the computer. If one sets the camera to save a raw file as well as a JPG file, then DPP "digital lens optimizer" can remove blur that was caused by small aperture diffraction.

If you post a file straight out of camera (RAW or JPEG) we can examine the metadata and determine exactly how the image was recorded.

For photos shown, I would make sure I used a tripod. Lots of answers to the question.
