The new Canon 70-200 lens, why do I always feel that the photos I take are fake?

With the new Canon 70-200 lens, I always felt that the photos taken were fake. The most likely reason is that when shooting handheld, the camera shakes slightly, and the focal length of the lens used is long, and the shutter speed is too long. There is no corresponding improvement.

1. Safety shutter: Statistics show that the slight shake of the camera during shooting is the main reason for the blurry photos taken. It is generally believed that when an experienced photographer shoots with a hand-held camera, if the shutter speed is above the safe shutter speed, he can avoid camera shake affecting the clarity of the photo. Safety shutter (seconds) = 1 / focal length. The focal length here refers to the focal length on the full frame. If it is an APS-C body, it must be calculated as the equivalent focal length, not the focal length marked on the lens. Furthermore, in actual operation, because everyone has different degrees of stability when holding a camera, this safety shutter value is not equally effective for everyone. Some people can go slower, but most people should go faster.

2. Because safety shutter (seconds) = 1 / focal length, when shooting with a handheld camera, the longer the focal length of the lens, the higher the safety shutter speed required. The new Canon 70-200 lens has a longer focal length. If you do not increase the shutter speed accordingly when using it, it will easily appear blurry in the photos you take.

3. To solve the problem of blurry photos taken with telephoto lenses, one is to increase the shutter speed to above the safe shutter speed, and the other is to use a tripod.

4. When using a new camera or lens, people often suspect quality problems because the photos they take are distorted. Practice shows that quality problems are very rare, and most of them are operational problems during shooting. . The easiest way is to have an experienced photographer use a tripod to take a few photos for testing.
