tristan Senior Member 322 posts Likes: 2 Joined Feb 2006 Location: Missouri More info | Apr 09, 2006 18:38 | #1 Ok I deffentley have an auto focus problem with my 20d. I was hoping this wasnt true but today I looked at several photos taking with all different focus points and after each one I manualy focused and the image came out the way it should have, very sharp and clear. One picture in particlular was a picture of a face. I focused manualy then again auto focus. The picture I manualy focused I could see the hairs on the face the picture with auto focus I could not. Any suggestions?

Apr 09, 2006 18:54 | #3 I dont know if you can tell by the lip picture of not. I have other lenses yes but come up with the same problem.. I am afraid if I send it off for repair canon wont find anything wrong with it but there clearly is. Or at least it should be clear. Hehe.

I know when I have used the multi focus points I tend to get more pictures that are not focused the way I want. The example that were posted, are they the full picture or just a portion?

Apr 09, 2006 20:22 | #6 The lips were enlarged and croped. I have used different focus points I get the same results. Just got back from Florida and got some good shots but 95 percent of them were just a hair out of focus. I know not all are gonna be perfect but the majority of them being a little soft is not what I expecting from a 20d.

Today on a perfect sunny calm day I went to McDonalds...got a pack of fries and fed the seguls...had the 75-300 IS usm canon lens and the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens with...took 60 shots at f/4 and above at speeds of 400-1250 and the birds were standing still...braced my camera on the sill of the car and not one phots is sharp...ok but not sharpe. Used spot focus.....but one I did manual focus and .....drum roll.....it is clear. I have used a 10D in the past and have had stellar shots....not one keeper with the 20D yet.....still trying.

It could be the cheapness of me to buy the 75-300 and the 28-75....I do see Prime lens shots that are outstanding with the 20D. I think I will save for a 50 F/1.4 L Canon 1d Mark IV, 1Ds, 1D Mark II, JTL Versa 500's, 24-70 2.8 L, 50mm 1.4, Tokina 11-16.
