Canon M6 mark II focus modes explained

[@carolsoutdoorsy1868]

Your performance during the tutorial makes the information easier to understand and remember (and enjoy too). More like this, please.

[@RogerAVHansen]

I’m glad you liked it 😊 Any suggestion on what topic on the M6 mark II you would like to see? 😊

@@RogerAVHansen My camera is on order and due for delivery this week! I do outdoor photography usually with big landscapes. My next trip is coming up, can't wait to try out the camera but as a newbie I am just trying to absorb as much info as I can beforehand. I am sure I will have a number of ideas for you after that trip! :)

[@RogerAVHansen]

@@carolsoutdoorsy1868 looking forward to hearing them! 😊 Hope you have a nice trip and that you get lots of fun out of your new camera! 😊

Of all the features of the camera this is the function I change the most. I remapped the * button to shift between all the modes so I can change them as fast as I can depending on what I need at the time.

[@RogerAVHansen]

I didn’t think of that! That’s a good idea 😊 Guess that comes in handy when shooting wildlife photography 😊

That focus peaking has literally just made using the camera so much better. First time using this camera today and whilst using it in manual I was wondering why the camera didn’t have a setting to help with manual focus. Tomorrow evening I’ll be out playing around with this setting now…

How do you keep the image focus the whole screen?

[@wellingtoncrescent2480]

Another instructive video, thanks. Although many KZbinrs have moved on to the R7, I'm still having too much fun with my M6 II, which I love for birds/wildlife (with a Tamron 100-400 F4.5-6.3 and Sigma 150-600 F5.6-8, which work flawlessly with Canon's EF to M adaptor). I am however surprised that I can't adjust AF sensitivity or transition speed for still photos, as the menu only appears in video mode, unless there's a trick I'm missing. In any case, I'm hoping you won't give up on the M line yet, as I still think it's a fantastic camera, and I think I will wait for a replacement with better EVF resolution, etc.

[@RogerAVHansen]

The M6 mark II is a fantastic camera! But unfortunately it ends with the M6 mark II and the M50 mark II.. with the new entries, R7 and R10, I don’t see Canon putting more focus on the M-mount.

[@wellingtoncrescent2480]

@@RogerAVHansen I suspect you're right, though I'm not so bothered by lack of new lenses. With the Sigma primes (16, 30, and 56 mm) and Canon's own line, the M mount is well supported. While it lacks a super telephoto for birds, I've had great luck with the Canon adapter and EF lenses, including third party lenses from Tamron and Sigma. So I'm just hoping that Canon continues to support the M6 II in terms of maintenance and repairs.

Great video man .... i have a question .... now they say this camera can record a vertical video ,, i have tried it but it just wouldn't stay vertical .... what i am missing ?

[@RogerAVHansen]

Hi! The Canon M50 mark ii has been advertised as a vertical camera. I think that camera records the video as a vertical video file. The M6 mark ii has not been advertised as a vertical camera, at least I’ve not noticed that it has, but basically you can shoot vertically with any camera, you just have to flip the footage in post.

[@looktivtime]

@@RogerAVHansen oh man .. too late .. i already bought the m6ii ,, yea it's possible .. but vertical would be more easier and faster to share .... many thanks

I have a problem when using face tracking focus. when i got 5 or more people line up and i only focus on 1 people, the picture turn 1 people only focus. now i have to try the another focus method such as group focus. maybe

[@RogerAVHansen]

The only way the camera can capture several people in focus at the same time is if they are standing at the same line the camera has in focus, or if you turn your aperture down to f/11 for example. That way you have a deep depth of field and much of the scenery is in focus. The camera is only able to hold one face in focus, not several at the same time. But if you do one of the things above you’ll be able to get several people in focus even if the face tracking only latch on to one face.
