Why is the image so pixellated and blurry when viewed through the VF-4? Using a Canon 600d / T3i

also make sure the viewfinder is attached flat next to the LCD screen. no space in between.

Have you tried focusing the VF-4? Turn the red knob until your camera's on-screen data looks sharp.

The VF-4 is simply magnifying what is displayed on your camera's LCD screen.

The image should not be blurry. Have you checked to make sure there is nothing on the viewfinder area...there is a red dial that can change the focus but i wouldn't think it would be blurry even if that was off slightly.

It's zoomed in 2-3x further than what is intended for the LCD screen. So that will break down the image quality. It's just like standing too close to a TV. That's how I look at it. I just love that I can see my LCD in direct sun. That's the big benefit for me.

i too had problems with blurring and out of focus shots, ive used the camera a lot recently, and was getting annoyed that close up shots were rubbish, until a friend said try turning off the image stabilizer, i did, close up pics look much sharper, i only use the stabilzer now for long zoom shots, isnt that what its suppose to be for anyway, maybe it aint suppose to be on all the time

My setup is the same. However, I am using a D5100, a DX body and an FX lens. I believe this is causing the problem. Are you using an FX body?

Hi, just played with the menue and found two aspects which improved the clarity of my D7000 jpegs;A) Menue/Shooting Menue/Jpeg-compression ( i expect you already choose fine for jepgs )the compression defaults to 'Size Priority' which means smaller files but a loss in detail !!-> pls set to 'Optimal Quality'B) Menue/Shooting Menue/Set Picture Controlthis defaults to SD which means very conservative to color, contrast and sharpeningB1) set this to vivid (VI)B2) in vivid increase sharpening to 7 or 8Both modifications should result in higher jpeg output qualitypls give feedback/Karl Hi, just played with the menue and found two aspects which improved the clarity of my D7000 jpegs;A) Menue/Shooting Menue/Jpeg-compression ( i expect you already choose fine for jepgs )the compression defaults to 'Size Priority' which means smaller files but a loss in detail !!-> pls set to 'Optimal Quality'B) Menue/Shooting Menue/Set Picture Controlthis defaults to SD which means very conservative to color, contrast and sharpeningB1) set this to vivid (VI)B2) in vivid increase sharpening to 7 or 8Both modifications should... » Read More Hi, just played with the menue and found two aspects which improved the clarity of my D7000 jpegs;A) Menue/Shooting Menue/Jpeg-compression ( i expect you already choose fine for jepgs )the compression defaults to 'Size Priority' which means smaller files but a loss in detail !!-> pls set to 'Optimal Quality'B) Menue/Shooting Menue/Set Picture Controlthis defaults to SD which means very conservative to color, contrast and sharpeningB1) set this to vivid (VI)B2) in vivid increase sharpening to 7 or 8Both modifications should result in higher jpeg output qualitypls give feedback/Karl « Show Less

Does very well with 4x5 film and really good with 6x6 film etc. but you need to use at least 1200 dpi resolution and the result will be a large file. Scale at 100%. The default is 400% which in my opinion gives worse results. I would save as a compressed tiff. or at least the largest resolution JPG that you an. You also need to make sure the you uncheck the option for sharpening.

I've noticed this as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the image stabilizer?

Carefully read the specs! Some units will specify new electronic processing to almost virtually eliminate the blur you are concerned about; I noticed it right away in the perceptual clarity...you pay a little more but the difference is worth it.

Thanks for the info. I don't think I'm quite ready to pay that kind of money for a lens for a camera that I paid $600.00 for. May as well upgrade the camera and keep the lens. I do appreciate the reply.

Maybe the lens is dirty. Take it to a camera shop and have them clean it! Also, try switching to a different brand of disks.

If you look at my prior answers, you will see that I had to have my lens calibrated to my D800 specifically. I don't know that that makes it of poor quality. Once I got it back from Sigma (who were very helpful and quick, by the way), it is absolutely beastly in focus lock, focus speed, and image quality.

Check out the review comment posted at the product site on Amazon - one chap has addressed the blur issue specifically. Here's the link to the review http://www.amazon.com/review/R3PJS6SOXSDS0E/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

I have the same problem with this camera. Focus is soft and there are noticeable chromatic aberrations (aura you're talking about), there's also noticeable barrel effect (people look wider off-center). Honestly, optics is pretty bad on this camera. The focusing system also seems to be hit and miss but mostly miss. I set mine in manual mode with center focusing and even then the image is far from what I'm used to call "in focus". I'm surprised this camera is rated this high. My older Canon S410 takes consistently better images.

yes, at times the picture is a bit grainy. i am going to check out the manual. if i find a anything that helps i will let you know.

I have the same experience. I believe it is caused by lossy compression. To claim that the video captured by the sensor is 1080p is a bit misleading, because this pixelization effectively reduces the resolution. It could potentially be fixed with better firmware, but I am not holding my breath waiting for BlackVue. There is a custom firmware produced by Russian dashcam enthusiasts that is intended to use better compression (I think), but I haven't tried it.

There was an update released a while back for the focusing problem. It has been resolved. BTW: Get the MKIII's full frame.

Is the cannon macro/telephoto? That could be a factor. Im not sure. I dont have this lens yet. Though it will be my next lens once I get this return issue with the Sigma resolved.
