hmm ok… but the thing is… when i use the 18-55 i get a similar problem… also, for pictures the 55-250 at 250 is amazingly sharp!

it looks ok, but still fuzzy… as i said, its not the colors or anything… its the lack of detail… for a 1080p video it doesnt look great… especially compared to online test footage… and this is even with YTs compression!

it seems that the videos in auto are better than the videos in manual. the clarity looks better… i might try a different picture profile… maybe its the in camera sharpening.

Do you think i need to get the sensor/ lens element cleaned?

Shall i set them to Standard, Neutral, or Cinestyle?
Also, The reason i set them to my custom vivid profile, is because then i dont have to color correct it later.
From what ive heard, its better to get colors how u want on camera, than grading.

i was shooting at iso 100. That is why i had to have the f-stop at 7.1…. even for some shots which i couldnt upload. that were in focus. it doesnt look great. Before colors… my problem is the quality, as in detail. should i use something like cinestyle? and add sharpness in post?

Settings on the camera were…

Sharpness max.
contrast 2 clicks below max.
saturation max.
color tone normal.

i was using the 55-250 stm lens… at about f7.1.
i wanted a little lensflare… to give it that effect.

but even when shooting other videos, not in direct sunlight.
it still doesnt look great…
i think i was using af with tracking on him. and on tje camera screen it seemed alright.

also, to the guy above. It was just a video to try out the panning skills of the tripod… and to show off my friend’s wheel. so the creative side doesnt really matter.
