Focus issues with new Canon PowerShot G7x mk II compact
Now that I am back home, I tried a simple test of photographing an A4 sheet of text straight-on in moderate light conditions to see how the Canon performed relative to my iPhone 7 camera. The attached images show how the two devices compare. The iPhone took a clear photo on the first attempt and all of the text is in focus. The other two images are the best I could do with the Canon, one using Auto and the other using P-mode (One Shot, with the focus box in the centre of the field of view). Both of the Canon images are blurry away from the centre of shot and neither are as crisp as the iPhone image.
Any advice? Is this normal, or is this camera defective?
Thanks,
Lloyd.
Okay mate - some 'Sherlock Holmes' times ahead ...
I do not know the Canon - all I can show you is the Panasonic equivalent
Chase up the focus menu
Look for the centre-focus options
option-1
option-2
See how you go from there
Hope this helps
