Unusable image quality when triggering with qDslr
Posted: 23 May 2017, 18:09
The other day I was shooting a day to night time lapse. Usually I shoot with a manual lens but this time I used my Sigma 24-105mm f4 with optical image stabilization (OS).
All of my images with longer exposure times turned out to be unusable.
After a few test shots I found out that the image quality when using optical stabilization is much worse when triggering with qDSRL.
All pictures I attached where shot with my Canon 5D Mark IV with the Sigma 24-105mm f4 Art on a stable tripod. I did not use mirror lockup or live live for this test.
- The one on the left was shot with optical stabilization turned OFF and triggered with qDslr.
- The picture in the middle was shot with optical stabilization turned ON and triggered with qDslr.
- The picture on the right was shot with optical stabilization turned ON and triggered with the 2sek timer in the camera.
It seems that the OS is malfunctioning when the camera is triggered with qDslr. Using OS on a tripod usually results in a worse image quality but they are still usable.
Has anyone encountered a similar behavior? Or is this a problem with my camera/lens combination?
