Blurrry pictues from the A7

[sonicbuffalo]

I got a few very blurry pictures yesterday with everything set to automatic....has anyone else had that problem? Hope it doesn't keep doing it as I might have to send it back...

Stop taking pictures of blurry objects.

do you have example photos and what were the settings.

I used my d7000 in Auto yesterday and got blurry photos until I allowed it to use ISO any way it wanted.

99% chance it was user-error of some description... show us some images & EXIF data!

Did the light leakage problem with the lens mount get fixed yet?

I found with my olympus epl5, the biggest issue it had in full auto was with moving objects. It always set the shutter speed too low. For still portraits, it did great.
If you are shooting things that move, check what shutter speed your camera is choosing...you will probably find it is too low to get rid of motion blur.

For me, the fix was to switch to shutter priority.

Likely user error. Have any photos with exif info?

I never get blurry images with my A7 but mine is with manual lenses, but it will be 100% user error

"Tirediron is saying 99% user error; gsgary is coming in at 100% user error, so Bob Barker, I am going to go with 99.50%! That's my bid!"

AF turned on? Not kidding.

Ok, step one. Smash the camera to bits.


Step two. Umm.. ok, I admit I'm a little hazy on step two.. let me get back to you on that one.

Lol


Seriously though, normally what I find most often with blurry pics is that either the autofocus settings caused the camera to pick the wrong focus point, or that the shutter speed was insufficient and it introduced either camera shake or motion blur (or sometimes both) as a result.

Yes...it must have been user error....I tried again yesterday taking shots of various things and they came out beautifully. The A7 was more than ready to take pictures of blurry objects that really weren't! lol

I would suggest that auto mode in your camera does not recognise moving objects, does not understand whether you want them sharp or blurred and does not adjust the shutter speed according to their speed of movement and their distance to the lense. It probably also can not read your thoughts.
