[@mokhan4748]

I do apologize for my earlier comments in which I stated that I did not notice any focusing issue with my camera. But after watching your video, I spent good amount of time comparing both sets of images with and without using the magnifying button. Yes, indeed there is a significant difference. The magnified image is much sharper than the other one. I never paid attention to this issue before because I am not a pro-photographer - just a hobbyist. Thank you and may you have a happy and prosperous life.

[@b991228]

The shutter button is causing refocus. Make sure the the back-button is set to focus-on while at the same time the shutter button is set to focus-off.

[@wolfgangalpha2941]

Amazing! Thank you so much. I learned a lot for someone who has owned the camera for 7 years haha

[@trisinogy]

Great video and clear explanation! I am struggling to understand if my photos lack sharpness because of my gear (6d +Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 Sport) or my technique. I didn’t know about the magnifying glass trick! I’ll try it ASAP! Thanks a lot for posting this.

[@drawncept8391]

Perfect video. Thank you.

[@traceekeeney7942]

Yes, I will be using that magnifying glass from now on. I have the worse time. Also thank you for the locking focus tip. I have been using back button AF but couldn't figure out how to lock in on my subject. I would always focus and then let the button go instead of holding it in. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

[@ItsSheila]

Glad l could help!

[@gislainebrunosaintjulien4558]

Thanks a lot, since I try to zoom in the picture to know if the focus is rigth, I can't. Thanks to show me how.

[@chaosdiamoons]

I can not tell you how much I appreciate the information!

[@ItsSheila]

So happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!

[@jeftefouani1740]

this video just saved my life, I was about to give up on my 6d camera. Thanks very much I subscribed . Jesus forever

[@sami_can]

What about moving subjects like insects etc. Any advice?

[@dee_deeee]

Thank you so much

[@malayneum]

so you mean the focusing is not reliable. do you still recommend the 6D? anything in canon dslr line thats a bit better?

[@cdavey7654]

I personally think the most accurate focusing method on the 6d (and most DSLRs) is the center focus point, looking through the optical viewfinder (NOT using live view mode focusing), You can still use the back button focus (which I do with any camera that has that option), and turn off focusing for shutter button.

[@markusi188]

Hi, Thanks. Thanks. I've actually switched the two buttons around, programmed * button to be AF, and the AF-ON button to be AE-Lock. This is because I am left eye shooter and when holding the camera in portrait it was almost impossible to operate the focusing with my thumb in the way. That little distance between the two buttons are solving this problem comfortably.

[@Toymichelle]

Thank you so much. so glad i found this. you were very helpful

[@vahuyu]

Thank you for the advise. I am a starting bird photographer and was able to purchase a 2nd hand canon 6d and a 2nd hand tamron 150-600 g1 but have been struggling with focusing on birds even they are static. what setting would you suggest.

[@biggstavros5876]

Great advice. Very easy to to. Thanks very much.

[@annaclitus]

Thanks for this. Just clicked an awesome pic with your tips. ♥️

[@tharakajayasinghe]

This is good advice and tips.. thanks!!

[@tonyr49]

Hi . Just watched your video and found it really informative 👍 Great explanation.

[@cdavey7654]

I do prefer using back button focus (and turn off focus on shutter button), have used this on pretty much all my cameras for 20+ years. I shoot mostly landscape, so I just pick where I want to focus, then recompose (if needed) and shoot.

[@ryanrebensdorf5116]

Thank you for these pointers!

[@AvisWrentmore]

Set your focal point and use ap.priority and you will get sharp shots ev. time.

[@ItsSheila]

I shoot manual

[@heroconceptstudio8395]

let me just say i love this video and i love you

[@Eyeamsurreal]

Thank you very much, Sheila! Very helpful. Well done!

[@dee_deeee]

And can i transfer pictures from the camera straight to my phone?

[@dee_deeee]

There is a red dot on pictures I take why?

[@daawesomest8834]

What's the difference between pressing af-on and simply half pressing the shutter button? Looks like it does the same thing.

[@oussamamohcene]

The same question

[@acousticentertainment6768]

Beacause i think, when u zoom with magnifier ans try to lock the focus with half pressing shutter buttom, you cant, coz zoom in goes zoom out and when u zoom in and try to lock the focus with the back buttom, it just lock the focus,

[@oprdoc]

That was AMAZING 🤩 I have been looking for this option for so long. You just killed it with this video. Will be so helpful for Astro in focusing on stars as well. Quick question. When shooting in ai servo or continuous, back button seems to only work as a single focus function. Is there something I’m missing?

[@ItsSheila]

Try changing the af focus to just Live mode without face tracking. Let me know if that helps

[@itzel2895]

Thank you for this 😭

[@dkarem4628]

I have canon 6d for half a year and i just found out about this....

[@Desiner-Photographer]

Great usefull thanku

[@elemdylamidi]

Thanks alot.

[@dxnphotography]

NICE VIDEO TRAI AGAIN

[@cdavey7654]

I hope you are not trying to use the “live view” focusing all the time (with the 6d and most DSLRs), that is terrible (very slow and not accurate). Much better to just use the center focus point looking through the optical viewfinder, in my humble opinion of course.. 🙂📷

[@BilalRajput]

when i took pic from Live View and open it in PC pic got starched. Do you face this issue ?

[@PulseActionGaming]

[@mdsafiqulalam5667]

Hello. I'm from Bangladesh and using 6D Canon. I have a question e.g. I can't use display to take photos. I always need to use viewfinder. Only when I fix the setting 1/30, f2.8, ISO 320, then I can see the subject on the display. Once I increase my settings like 1/200, f/11 and ISO 320 , I can't see anything on the display. How to resolve the issue?? Any suggestions??

[@sauravbasu8805]

Have you discovered what the problem was ?

[@victoriafernandezs.4282]

AYUDA¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Tengo la Canon 6D Mark ii y deseo tomar fotografía en live view desde la pantalla pero quiero hacer zoom y enfocar desde zoom y no encuentro como , podria alguien orientarme por favor!!!!

[@byron6002]

Great!!!!!!!

[@rzl1234]

so you focus and shoot using liveview on the 6D?

[@ItsSheila]

Not necessarily. Just using the back button focus. I actually ended up switching to the 5d mark iv.

[@syedhashimjafri2343]

Tell me why are you so much pretty and beautiful ?

[@zacharypump5910]

I'm not actually clear why this is better than just using the half press focus of the shutter button, then full press to take the pic. Why would the dedicated button improve focusing at all ?

[@ItsSheila]

In my experience it pulled focus much faster than half pressing the shutter. This seems to be an issue only with the 6D that l have tried as l also own the 5d mk iii and just use the shutter button with that one.

[@emmanuelgonzalez422]

I thought that you had to only press ones the back button focus to focus on non moving subjects, and release it ones it was focused and press the shutter, and for moving subjects you have to hold it and press the shutter.. I am confused

[@agnar86]

Because it's true. You don't have to keep it pushed.

[@tomchau6476]

I just know this after 6 years owned and shot bad photos, thanks

Tôi dùng chiếc máy ảnh này làm nghề chuyên nghiệp.& Nó là chiếc máy ảnh thực sự rất tốt,không hề thua kém chút nào về chất lượng hình ảnh.

[@laughing_gnome]

Just use manual focus and zoom right in so much easier too many people rely on auto everything stop using it and use manual and get pin sharp and perfect expouseur every time

[@ItsSheila]

First of, I am talking about auto focus, not settings.

[@abstract_bangladesh]

How pretty you are, I am totalt crushed on your voice as well as intiligence 💔

@@ItsSheila as it gets, used to own one until I've had this kind of issues... Switched to 80D and the R6... R6 is simply amazing. 6D was good... 10 years ago.
