I have an R7 with a 24-70mm lens. It does not perform well when used for photos. Images are often minimally blurred or fuzzy, especially if zoomed in all the way - if I compare them to my DSLR cameras like my 6Dii with 85mm. Am I doing something wron...

Brand New R7 - My Canon battery was completely charged before I used it before a family session. The camera had 3/4 left after session. Brought it home, it was left in On mode, but is set to sleep after 3 min of no use. I noticed about 5 hours later ...

When I use my R7 for video, I have my camera strap on and usually hold my arms straight out or pull in, but whenever I pull in and my camera strap goes over the viewfinder my live view screen blacks out and on/off because it thinks I'm putting my eye...

I primarily do photos but am starting to do more video. I really like the full frame on the R8 but the R7 has built in image stabilization. Does the digital IS on the R8 compare well to the built in image stabilization on the R7? I'm ok if it crops i...

HI - Looking at getting the R50 or R50v. What lens would you pair it with for best video results of action? I see the 85 mm f/2 Macro IS STM lens does have image stabilization. Mainly looking at action shots of animals taken handheld so anything to h...

Thank you. For shooting horse photos like this though, I need to be squatted about 30-40 feet straight back from the hip to not distort conformation of the horse, which is why I typically always use the 85 f1.8 with my 6dii, or the R7 with 28-70 zoom...

I'll give it a watch, thanks.

Here's an unedited example from this shoot. Shot in RAW, exported from Lightroom with no edits, 72ppi. Most images shot with my R7 looked like this from that day. 1/2000, f3.2, ISO 160. 64mm lens zoom length for this specific photo. I always put my ...

I can do that. But the clients I have typically ask for a blurry background, and I try to go as low as I can without sacrificing the subject focus. It seems like 3.2 has been a sweet spot with the DSLRs, but maybe the R7 and this lens combo are diffe...

To clarify on these horse examples specifically, I set it on his eye for the autofocus point with the R7. He is standing perfectly still, but even at a standstill a lot of times it would catch and not put perfect focus on his face area. The 6d Mark I...
