I’m hoping that maybe some cameras are goin…

Why are my Canon G7 X Mark II photos blurry? I have no idea why photos taken with my Canon G7 X Mark II camera look sort of blurry, almost dreamy and not crisp or sharp (unlike my iphone 12 camera – 2nd pic). Is there something that I’ve to set or is it the nature of a budget-friendly point-and-shoot camera? Please help an amateur out here thank you! submitted by /u/handfulofpotatoe…

Why do Lightroom lens profiles produce white edges on some photos?

( www.reddit.com )

Why do Lightroom lens profiles produce white edges on some photos? On some photos with my a7iii and Tamron 28-200, the edges are noticeably lighter when using the built-in lens profile in lightroom. I’m assuming that this is due to the vignetting setting being too strong. But this only happens on some photos. On some other photos, only when I raise exposure this issue appears. Is there a reason for this, and wh…

Will a microsd card work with an adapter in a CANON SX100 IS? Hi there! I am going to be buying a used digital SX100 because I like the novelty of having a simple camera that isn’t my phone to take pictures. The camera won’t be coming with the original 16mb sd card but rather a microsd card adapter. I know I could just get a 32gb SDHD but I’m worried it will fill up fast if I take a lot of pictures (which …

Any thoughts on what would be the bes…
