>get a Canon EOS 5D Mk2 for an anime convention
>Canon EF 50mm f 1.8 lens
>no time to practice using the camera
>just shoot with Full Auto and automatic focus
>all the photos are blurry and always a bit out of focus
>once every 100 photos you get a perfectly focused, ultra crisp photo and you have no idea why
I just shot hundreds of cosplay photos, the cosplayers are waiting for me to email these to them, and they're all blurry. Lightroom + Topaz Sharpen AI + apology? How do I prevent this in the future?
Tried manually focusing with the focus ring too but it was even harder. One thing that I can see from my photos is that sometimes the camera focused on a piece of clothing only a couple of inches away from the face. How is the "field of sharpness" so small? I'd like the camera to make a larger area sharp. Not sure how to put this in photography terms.
