R7 Focus and High Noise

[AustinbatR7]

Hello! I hope that you can help me. I just got an R7 after shooting with a 7dmii with which I took tack sharp pictures. This is my first mirrorless, and I have worked with many different settings in the AF and Camera Menus. I have also reset the camera twice. Here are my issues:
1. All my pictures are in poor focus.
2. All my pictures are very noisy.

I have the following lenses, and the issue is with all of them.
1. Mount Adapter EF-EOS R Canon
2. Canon 24-105 f4
3. Canon 70-200 f2.8
4. Sigma 100-400 f5

I have taken hundreds of shots of ducks and flowers so that I would have stationary subjects and some subjects with slow movement.

I shoot in CRAW. Evaluative Meter. sRGB. HDrive. Electronic and Elec 1st-curtain. This happens with Servo and One Shot. AF
Area- I have tried all. I have turned off tracking and eye detection. When in Servo, I sue 2,4 or Auto.

I have read everything that I could find. Watched a milion YouTube videos, and I am unhappily stumped. I am willing to try anything, so if you have the expertise to help me troubleshoot this, I would be so grateful.

It is possible that your camera is defective.

Although, what wonders me is that you don't tell the ISO and shutter speed at which you take your pictures.
Also, which software do you use to convert them? Do in-camera JPEGs happen to be better?

Please post an example picture, with EXIF intact, that shows the issues you are seeing.

Hi Alan - I just went out and took some .jpgs after reading your message, and they are still blurry. I usually set my shutter to the subject, so, if still, I will set to 250. Apertures 4-7. I use Lightroom Classic which I have been using for decades, not in cc.

If you’re using EFCS or MS and a shutter between 1/60s and 1/160s there’s a good chance you’re seeing the IS resonate from shutter shock. You can check if image quality improves if you go slower than 1/60s or when using ES.

I just went out and shot two photos, one at 1/50 and one at 1/200 with ES. Same exact as picture posted.

Could you send an image that has some fine detail on it and sharp edges. Also, we need to see a crop at 100% (eg 2000x3000px cropped from the centre and not downscaled).

I hope this is what you requested, but I am not sure.

They are all 500x333px. Are they downsized, crops of 500x333 at 1px = 1px of original, or what?

I am sorry Alan. I don't usually do crops so I am not sure how to do what you are requesting. When I export to jpg, should it be a particular size? Can I post a Raw? Excuse my lack of knowledge.

Export to full size, open with whatever program you use, and use that program to draw a box around what you want to crop to. The one you just posted looks pretty sharp. But, it would be better if you have a flat surface facing the camera with some small sized print on it. At the angle you have, some of the image is going to be out of focus as it is further away from the camera (or closer).

Could be going from 20mp - 32mp viewing issue.

Would you please elaborate what that means? Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge.

I can see from the EXIF data the sheet of paper is only 1.09m from the camera at f/7.1 and f = 105mm. The depth of field under these conditions is only 2cm in front and 2 cm behind. You are clearly holding the camera at an angle to it as the top is in focus and the bottom is closer to the camera.
