Thank you so much Paul. I have been taking photos with a Canon Rebel T7 for about an year. It only gave me shitty soft focus photos that look good only in a phone screen . In any larger screen they were out of focus good for nothing useless pictures. I had been shooting in default ONE SHOT mode all this time. After watching this video I changed it to AI FOCUS. OMG Icant believe my eyes. It improved my photos so much, crisp sharp very well focused photos. I was about to smash this camera on a rock. You saved my good camera and saved money on an other camera as well. Thank you again very much.

Really welcome the hints and tips.. helped me out a lot. I see a lot of vidoes about making photos sharper, but something that made a difference to me, was my screen. Many times ive previewed a photo on the back of a camera, only to find a little disappointed once home and uploaded to the PC. Ive always edited on my work station PC, but recently ive used a PC which is connected to my TV and found my photos look so much better through the TV.

@@photogenius Canon lens manual only advise us to turn off IS when using a tripod "to save battery power". Modern Canon version of IS will detect whether you are on the tripod or not and will NOT work against you if you do not turn off IS. Of course people using first generation stabilisation of 20 or more years ago had to turn off stabilization when on the tripod. IS will help if there is strong wind or earth tremor by passing train that can shake your tripod and camera.

I won a Panasonic Lumix mirrorless camera on KZitem, and absolutely love it! Mirrorless is definitely a big improvement to how we shoot. Thanks for another great video! EDIT: Oh! And one thing to add to your ideas is that after you shoot, zoom in on the LCD to get a little better look at the sharpness of your photo.

I came across a post of another KZitemr who added something to the "take sharp photos" discussion. The fellow advised folks to remove the UV filter from ones lens.

Hi Brad. I suggest doing some test shots (ideally on a tripod) to see if you can see any noticeable difference between using the filter, and not using the filter. If you can't then I would leave the filter on to help protect your lens.

Can I give a shout-out to monopods? They're great if you can find a way to stabilise them using your body which you often can especially if there's somewhere to sit such as a street-bench or a set up steps. They're easier to carry than a tripod and if you're photographing somewhere where tripods aren't allowed you can usually get away with a monopod. In addition as you get older (I'm in my early 70s) your hands develop more shake - monopod to the rescue if you're just going out for a wander around.

Lens is entry level, or poor quality.
