Thank you for saying this. Whether it was intentional to cause hurt or an attempt to be funny, comments like “read the manual” make me want to leave the group. Thank you to all who sincerely provided support and advice

Just a point to clarify for my own self preservation. If I am in manual focus mode, doesn’t the lens have to be set on manual?

Yes. If it is on MF, it is manual. If it is on AF, you cannot manually focus (and if you try to, you may damage the lens). Now, unfortunately, I have to say to check the instructions specific to that lens.

Are you talking about manual exposure that controls the aperture, shutterspeed and ISO. The EXIF in your files shows at least one image in manual exposure. Manual exposure has nothing to do with manual focus on the lens. You should practice with the AutoFocus active when using this lens. Your question asked about a blurry focus. If you want to manually focus the lens, that's a different set of skills and probably not the question anyone was attempting to answer.

I read all posts on this thread and did notice what you say. Canon's Diopter adjustment ring
is very important for someone like me that had both eyes' lens replaced by "fake" ones because
of Cataracts. There is no use on assuming this or that before that adjustment.
The best reply so far. Cheers, A.B.

Good morning. I am getting really frustrated. I take what I think look like decent pictures when I put them in Lightroom but when my husband sees them, he says they are blurry. I don’t know whether to get rid of my camera or my husband. Any suggestions?
Zoom to 100%, 400%. You will see if it is "tack sharp".
If your post processing program has a "focus mask" as in Capture One, it will show areas in and out of focus.

Just to change the subject somewhat: tell your husband to read the chainsaw manual concerning safety equipment. That would include a hardhat, safety glasses , kevlar chaps, hard toed boots, and a long sleeved shirt. Your hubby may be a keeper with all limbs intact.

Not sure how to attach the file straight from the camera. But here is the info screen from the camera for this picture. Does that help? I used manual focus for the camera and the lens.
Do you mean that you used manual focus for these photos of your camera's display?
Or, do you mean that you used manual focus for the 3 photos posted earlier to illustrate your focus problem?

Thank you all, especially those of you who took the time to offer valuable detailed suggestions. When you are beginning to learn, it helps to hear it from professionals rather than read the manual. So much to think about. I appreciate it more than you will know.
There's an easy test that you can do to determine what is at fault and then work to fix it. Take a picture of a subject that has enough contrast for the AF, auto focus, to work in good light and hand hold. Next set the camera on a tripod even if you have to borrow one from a friend or set the camera on a table with an electronic cable release. Both subjects should be the same. Down load and look at both shots at 50% to start and see if one is sharper then the other. If that're both soft then next borrow a lens from a friend and do the test again to rule out a soft lens. Your lucky, your husband cares enough about you and your photography to be brutally honest with you. Please get back to us with what you find out.

Too bad you feel hurt. Maybe you need thicker skin.
Or, maybe you just can't take straight talk; although, your Name "War Zone' suggests you can.
Stay or leave --- your decision.
Reading the manual is usually the best way to start.
Think about it.
