Canon R6 I R6 Image Sharpness

[A6TDH]

I recently swapped from 6Dii to an R6 but find my images are not as sharp an my old camera . I was using an EF 24-70 L 2.8ii with an RF converter. I have tried numerous settings without success. Is there something simple that I might be missing or could it be the auto focus is not correct?

As always with something like this it would be good to see an example of the "not as sharp" image with full EXIF data. Focus points and modes work differently on mirrorless so it could be something there, but without an image anything I told you to try otherwise would be just me guessing.

Have you tried looking at where the focus points are using Canon’s DPP software? This might give you a clue as to whether the camera is focussing where you want it to.

Agree with GrahamK above, sounds like could be the focussing point is not where you expected it to be, it does have a tendency to wander around dependent on what you are shooting, easy to take control of though.

On my R6M2 I find sometimes I have to move the focus point where I want it to be. The AF system is sometimes too good for what you’re trying to do! This normally happens with shooting objects. The other night I was doing some product detail practice and the camera kept trying to focus randomly where it could see the best contrast, I suppose. I had to manually use the joystick to get the shots I wanted, and still a bit of focus and recompose in Servo AF fixed the issue. I find very little reason to put the R6M2 into One Shot AF. I’m going to try my next product detail practice with eye detection/object detection set to off.
