Hi all,
I have been out quite a bit lately, making the most of the nice weather. But I have a slight focusing issue, I'm not sure if it's just me, or if there really is a problem.
I'm using a 100-400L IS on a Canon 80D and I think the centre focus point may be a bit soft/misaligned. I have been using the centre focus point and shooting in high speed bursts, but within a group of shots the focus point seems to move about. It's very evident in AI Servo mode, which I would assume may be normal, but it also happens in one shot too.
It's quite noticeable as I mainly shoot birds, in one shot the eye will be perfectly in focus, in the next shot the focus point will have moved somewhere else. Sometimes, after focusing on the eye and getting the shot, upon review the eye is not in focus at all but somewhere else is!
Is there an issue or is it just me?! I've attached a few shots of a damselfly to show what I mean.
Thanks in advance.
Focus on the eye
Focus moved onto the thorax/wings
Focus again on wings
