Help! Rebel EOS T7 is very blurry!

[Colestrinity1]

Hi there,

I put a lense on my camera then took it off and put the original lense back on then all of a sudden the picture became very blurry. I didn’t change anything from when it previously was working. AF is on and when I tap the shutter to focus it does nothing. Please help! I just bought this camera.

OP states: "When I put the wide angle on the 18-55 lens it is clear but when I take it off the picture is super blurry. It was perfectly fine before I put the wide lens on originally." 

Sounds like OP is using one of those screw-on auxiliary lens. My belief is he might have affected the focusing of the base lens. That is why I posted the link to the process to reset the lens.

I was wondering if, in the process of screwing on or off the auxiliary lens, they had manually rotated the lens, which is not an STM or USM unit, and could have compromised the focusing mechanism.

My thought as well Trevor. Sounds like OP bought one of those packages with auxiliary lenses. T7 in the packages generally have the old style lens where the barrel rotates.

Those old lenses are a trap for young players... 🙄

The hard thing is the OP doesn't know enough to be clear and specific, and could well not realize they have rotated the lens.

That will do it! I guess those add-one are “lenses”.

It's difficult to diagnose these things with ambiguous info. A clear accounting of the gear, all of it, and settings, along with a clear explanation of the issue would be helpful.

Is it just the VF? Is it both the VF and LV or is it actual pictures?

Really curious as to why you need a wide-angle adapter in the first place. An 18mm is pretty wide. If you want wider, get a 10-22 or 10-18mm lens.

Sure, you can screw on a wide-angle adapter, but you have to unscrew it to get the longer length of your lens. Kind of defeats the purpose of the lens. And they don't do anything good for image quality.  Better off having another lens.
