10% max if you lump in one shot AF which seems pretty decent after AFMA. Seriously, all I have been saying is that there is a large contingent of owners that have experienced issues so severe that even after AFMA, the technical keeper rate is on par with 5%. I suppose, based on all of the reports here, that we are just part of the too exacting crowd and expect our 7D2 to act like a 1DX. I have purchased many used DSLR's that were virtually unused from locals who switched from P&S bodies to DSLR and expected images to be perfectly in focus at all distances just like their old camera. In most, but not all, its just a matter of learning to use a new camera with much more complex options. You can keep changing settings until you understand what is the cause of your issue. If images are poorer, than you need to use AFMA. If not, I'd send the camera back for a exchange.Īssuming the image is sharp, turn off liveview, but leave the camera on the tripod with the same settings and compare. If the images are sharp then vary the settings one thing at a time. So, first use a tripod, turn off IS, have good lighting and take some shots using live view and live autofocus of a object 7-15 ft away using a 30mm more or less focal length. My first shots were awful, so I spent a few hours reading and taking controlled shots, then went back to the same location the following week, and images were suddenly great. I learned to do this many years back when I bought one of the first 7D's. I've taken to making my first shots with a new camera using a tripod and carefully controlled conditions so that I can see what performance and sharpness the camera is capable of getting. In some cases, the cameras will have issues, and in some cases, its a learning curve. Every time a new higher MP camera arrives, we see posts about poor resolution.
