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...

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...

It will work, the current version (at least for Windows is 4.19.30.0) The site sometimes has one or two older versions still present so if you downloaded an older version, launch DPP and do an update by clicking on help and then check for updates (th...
