R7 from my car ?! What the heck ?!?!

Re: Thanks for all the input.

I was having a similar problem with my R7, using my EF 100-400 MKII with 1.4x MKIII.  I almost always shoot from my car when I’m not shooting in the yard.  And I almost always have the car turned off.  My shots without the extender were often soft, and with the extender, we’re always soft..  I updated my firmware, then reset the camera to factory defaults, including custom button and dial settings.  Then I set everything back up again and went for a drive with the camera.  It was night and day.  It may or may not work for you, but it worked for me.  Oh, and I have almost always shot in EFCS mode.  Hope you get it solved on your R7.
