Canon EOS 4000D picture result problem

[Navnad786]

Asalam o Alaikum

we've imported Canon EOS 4000D camera (from Malaysia) but problem is we couldn't take good pics till yet. it is giving blur and less than OK result (even normal mobile selfies result is good than this camera).

I've read its manual and checked its setting and tried manual / auto setting etc but result is still same.

We don't know much about camera but at least we know how its functioning something a bit.

can anyone resolve this ? is it faulty camera? or it's just we are not able to understand its function fully ?

check the result of DSLR pic vs Samsung S7 edge pic

There is a button on the side of the lens for auto/manual focus. Make sure it is on auto.
Also, Where are you taking the photos? Inside your room? Put your camera in auto mode from top dial, and Try taking photos outside in good sun light. Then check the quality.

I've checked and tried both manual & auto.

yes i m trying to take good pics in rooms (with good lights).

Try taking photos outside in good sun light. Then check the quality.

I know it will take good pics in good sunlight outside but i want good pics in rooms too and i m sure it will give more better result against any mobile camera result (if i m not wrong about DSLR).

If I am not wrong, your camera came with an 18-55mm lens, right? If you are shooting inside a room, the lighting conditions won't be as good as outside in natural light during day time.

There are three things that if managed properly will give you clean and bright images (in layman's terms). The three things are Shutter speed, iso, and aperture. The lens that came with your camera has a max aperture of f 3.5 (at 18mm) as you zoom in the number increases, the higher the number the less light will hit the sensor of your camera. Low aperture values are desirable if you want more light to enter your camera (In your case f 3.5). On the other hand, is the shutter speed. High shutter speed means less light hits the sensor since the shutter only opens for a fraction of a second. Slow shutter speed will help you in brighter (well exposed) photos but a little bit of movement will be noticeable in the photos (blurry images).
The last thing is iso, well the lower the better because high iso introduces noise in images (grain). If you are shooting in auto mode the camera based on the lightning in the room decides all these settings for you. For instance to let more light in it may reduce the shutter speed, if you are shooting a kid who is running around the house you might end up with a blurry photo.

I'd say learn these things and shoot in manual and you will get better images in bad lighting situations. Otherwise, you will end up with photos that will look worse than those taken with a smartphone in the same conditions. If your camera is taking good photos outside that means there's nothing wrong with the camera. Although down the line you might want to get a faster lens if you want to shoot indoors after you have learned everything.

If all this seems way too technical you can just watch some of the videos on youtube and take it slowly and learn each thing.

Hope this helps.

The image looks blurry in some portions because the camera has selected a slower shutter speed to compensate for the low light, the blurriness is because of the camera shake. One way to avoid this is to place the camera on a stack of books and set a timer in the camera. All of the DSLR's have a timer, where it would take a picture after a certain amount of seconds when the shutter button is pressed. Since you are shooting jewelry and these shots may be from a top-down angle, you might need a tripod to set up your camera. That way you'll avoid the shake.

I'd still suggest you read a little about shutter speed, iso, and aperture.
