HELP! Blurry Photos - 5D Mark IV
PROBLEM: Many of my photos have my subjects out of focus. More times than not, a random part of my subject (dress, belt, shoe, tree) is tack sharp and my subjects face is blurry.
My CURRENT settings: Shutter 1/200 or higher, aperture typically 2.0-2.8 for my 50mm or 2.8-3.2 for my 24-70mm. ISO depends but try to keep under 500 if in good lighting. I shoot in Manual mode, single point AF, back button focus, AI-Servo, high speed continuous drive.
My subjects are rarely standing still. I typically have them walking and talking and laughing, etc. And I am stumped how this camera can be so unpredictable.
I am not sure if it is simply ME and my TECHNIQUE or if is the SETTINGS or MECHANICAL. I need some guidance. Hope I covered all the basics but please let me know if I missed something.
*When the photos are sharp they are TACK SHARP and when they are bad...they are just so bad!*
2. I will give this a shot...I wasn't fairly close to my subjects, these photos are zoomed in screen grabs, but I was using a 24-70mm lens.
3. I was indeed holding the BBF button
