Valued community,
I run a semi-professional career as a child photographer for the business of my wife (www(dot)pickapooh[dot]de)
All the pictures you see there are mine.
I do work with a 5D4 since it came out, and after swapping from the 5D3 I seem to miss focus a little too often for my liking.
I use the center AF point in spot mode only, BB focussing, manual exposure and AF servo almost exclusively.
Keeping track of the little ones is no easy task and I believe I can tell user error from "funny behavior".
In a total static subject there is a couple of soft images interlaced with razor sharp ones.
My current assumption is, that AF servo needs a minimum change in subject distance to re-focus while on target.
If I defocus and re-focus, it seems to become better, but that should not be the point.
I have given up on wide open apertures but even with 5,6 to 8 there is more than the occasional loss of critically sharp images.
Any ideas, what might explain the behaviour?
Gear is AMFDed and I consider to send it to recalibration after this round.
Thankful for any feedback, input, solutions
