Live View Versus View Finder Results

mhd_guntur

I learned a macro with my 60D. I took the picture in two ways; namely with live view and view finder. The live view was much sharper than the view finder even though I used all the same settings. I also used a tripod. Can someone help me?

Why turn image stabilization off?
Thanks, kethone

With image stabalization on, your camera is looking for the natural shake that we all have. If you use a tripod, there's no shake and because the camera is looking for shake and there's none; it creates it.

So is it better to use live view or view finder? I hav never used live view.

@liontamer - Have you seen one of these (eBay link)? I don't have one, but I know a few people who like them.

@Liontamer, I just looked on eBay for Canon eye pieces and there are a few magnifying eye pieces on there that extend out.
