7D Sharpness Issues

That doesn't look 'that' bad. but could be improved

What lens ?

Which AF mode are you using ?

Is that cropped or full frame ?

Using my new 24-105L f/4 IS.

I was using Manual select AF point expansion mode.

Focused on his right eye.

Slightly cropped on the right side.

When zoomed in on the eye, not sharp at all.

With the manual select AF mode, have you set up the little joystick to move the point around with your thumb ? if not do that. I can't remember if it had to be enabled in the menu.

Looking at that pic again. focal length is 105mm & shutter 1/100. That should be OK with the IS but it looks it may have caught a a bit of motion blur when you notice the rows of bricks in the background. You will still get some duds even with the IS

Got a couple more to post up ?

Yes that is the correct mode, I always usually use the centre point as it is the strongest (so I have been told).

I kind of forget how I held the camera, but I don't remember breathing in before taking the photo.

I don't have anymore to post.

Thanks,
