Good Evening
I am having issues with my 1D Mark 3 continuously producing soft images at 100% zoom, I have been photographing cricket for a few years now and recently upgraded to a 1D, all the images last week were unusable and I ended up sending the camera back thinking it had the dreaded focusing issues ! the camera was replaced with another and its serial number is outside the affected range. I have just uploaded the new images from today and at least 80% are soft. I use either a Sigma 70-300 or a sigma 150-500 and they have always presented me with sharp images on my 40D. Can anyone point me to what I am doing wrong please, i know there are a host of settings and I am hoping it is something to do with that. I have some presets fromCanon that can be used for sports but they have given me the soft images as well !! I was shooting in TV mode at 1/1000 f8 using high speed shooting and AI Focus, I tried changing to one shot etc but to no avail
All suggestions will be gratefully accepted
