4 reasons why your photos aren't sharp...

Many photographers commonly think that any image that isn't sharp is due to missed focus. While this certainly can occur, numerous other problems may be more likely.

One of the biggest mistakes I see photographers make that results in blurry images is picking the wrong shutter speed. Shutter speed adjusts how long the camera is recording data on your image, and if left open too long, it will result in blurry photos. For scenes with a moving subject or background, you'll need to pick a faster shutter speed to freeze the motion. How fast the shutter speed needs to be will depend on how quickly the subject moves, but always err on the side of too fast, rather than too slow.

If neither shutter speed nor focus is your problem, it may be poor-quality equipment. That said, this is almost certainly NOT your problem if you're shooting with a modern camera and lens.

Finally, you may need to clean your camera's sensor or lens. Grab a lens cloth and some lens cleaning solution and go to work.

I hope that helps explain the four most common causes of unsharp or blurry images!

Sometimes, if it's a hot day, heat haze can also make your photos blury even if you are doing everything right. Great videos btw!

One reason is also if you shoot with wide open aperture. Most lenses are the sharpest around f8.

I own the A7iii and i haven’t clean the sensor since i bought it (2019). About last week i bout the sensor cleaner. After i cleaned it my pics were extremely sharp. Before that i thought i needed more megapixels

Pro tip : don’t afraid to use high iso !
Put the ss on high … mirrorless camera and post production apps can handle it very good later !

I use a small squeezeable tool to blow off dust from camera and lens sensors.
Is this sufficient to keep them clean ? I don't see any dust after....

Also Backfocus can be a thing. And malfunctioning AF. I had a Nikon 7100 which would focus on something else than the AF point actually pointed at.

I want to add a 5th, heat haze or heat distortion 🙌🏻

"having a bad camera causing your images to be bad is a reason but it is uncommon"
babe, most of us are coping with 10 year old APS-C beginner cameras with third party glass, the amount of people able to couple a flagship camera with a flagship lens are counted with all your fingers and toes

[evanschneider]

What liquid? Water? I’m so scared to damage it so I haven’t cleaned it yet

Is Canon 6D Considered to be Modern "camera"
Or Canon 3000D considered to be modern.

What camera are you using to shoot this video ?

[mtbboy]

foggy lens due to just aking into ut of a bag in damp weather. Turning on manual focus, so no focus point.

[hyundongcho]

at what shutter speed would you say is fast enough for a medium moving subject? (moving person)

[crypticallly]

Balancing shutter for night and rail photography hurts my brain

[mello]

Bro, you're doing the best info videos. I can't understand why you got so few views❤

[lvxctd]

Use sony A7iii only for aircraft photography, always the right shutterspeed and clean sensor and more, but i always miss the focus point and than shoot 8fps, and boom, memory card full with failed photos🤣😂

reason 5: you stopped down your apperture to F22 and you don't own a 2000 dollar G-Master.

[christians.]

Problem 5: you forgot your Fangs hat 🤓

[marijohanna]

Crap, I've had my camera for ten years and never cleaned the lense 😂

[ktrnkrnkh]

Define "modern", if you please 😅
