I was using Caron R1 with EF 500L F4 IS ii and 1.4x IS iii for this shoot.EXIF 1/2500 F7.1 ISO 640I have a burst of shots, the bird was moving slow, I had the gear on a Monopod. What I see is that eye detection has worked and the focus point is seen ...

Focus is perfectly on the eye which was detected by the camera. But the image is not in focus. Why? I have enclosed the unprocessed JPG file too (cannot share RAW here). This was shot with the camera using a beanbag. DhandaNot_0-1762184331166.png

Why is this image so soft, it is unusable. The light is perfect and the sight too is good. The Focus Point is exactly on the eye but the image is blurred. What am I doing wrong.

Today I noticed that while the bird was far it was in clear sky background. I have taken many usable shots with my R6 and even 7D Mii, but today the camera R1 ! would not give sharp image. I imported in Lightroom and was checking the focus point and ...

I am sharing a few of the images from a burst I took. The light is good, the flying bird is in front of the camera. However R1 (with EF 500 F4 IS ii with1.4 X IS iii) is unable to detect the eye and focus properly on the raptor. Some of the images sh...

As per this from Canon website Canon : Supplemental Information : Lenses Supporting Maximum High-Speed Continuous Shooting Speed https://share.google/ABbcBGlBAJjDTId9Z 1000408595.jpg One can see that EF lenses can also support 40 fps of R1. The...

I thank folks for the suggestions and info shared here. I had seen the Multi-Shot icon flashing on my R6 when I had used it with the old 300L F2.8 IS lens. That gave me an impression that the camera pulls the FPS down to match what the lens is capabl...

As per Canon the lens I am using EF 500L IS ii is tripod aware and hence leaving IS on it not a problem. IS can also be On when shooting with a bean bag on the car window or using Monopod or tripod with Gimbal. These are the different options I shoo...
