Although I shoot primarily sports using Canon 1 series DSLR bodies, I travel quite a bit and for short trips via air a Canon M6 II with its 18-150 is my camera setup of choice. With the responsiveness of 1 series bodies, phone cameras drive me crazy...

I was reminded tonight while shooting a HS soccer match that it is often easy to complain about camera specifications, control layout, menu design, etc. but compared to the true pain our subjects often suffer we have a VERY easy life as photographers...

I have shot thousands of soccer match photos over the years but none capture the sheer joy of the beautiful game better than this player's happiness and exuberance! Captured with a Canon 1DX III and EF 200-400 extender @ 488mm, 1/1250, f5.6, ISO 500...

There are several things going on and the lack of sharpness is probably due to several of them: 1. Your ISO is pretty high for the camera body you are using which adds quite a bit of noise that will result in significant softening as it is addressed...

.CR3 (and other RAW files) are a data file not meant to be directly manipulated and saved, orientation is via a tag in the file meta data. You may be able to find an editor to let you change the "orientation flag" but the intent behind these Canon R...

A tripod isn't going to help with this type of blur because the shutter speed needed to freeze soccer player motion (1/1000 or better preferred, 1/800 fairly usable, 1/640 will result in a fair amount of blur) is far faster than needed to avoid blur ...

The 24-105 is NOT a typical focal length for stadium football so as Rick noted, it is very important to know where you are shooting from but also WHAT are you trying to cover? I shoot football from the sidelines and the end zone and my typical lens s...

I agree with Rick that you should enable lens drive when AF is impossible BUT this does sound like either a hardware failure or a software issue since it sounds like it is consistently having this issue. Next time it does this, try manually focusing...
