What autofocus settings would you recommend for a cooking channel? When I need to show the cook and the ingredients being presented. Both cook and ingredients are part of the shot. Also for an up-close shot of cook's hands and food, I am noticing the focus going to the hands and I would like the focus to stay on the food even if hands get on the way.
@Markchristiankc
@Markchristiankc 10 ай бұрын
It really depends on the shot. If you’re doing something wide then ‘Wide’ focus mode will work perfectly. If you’re doing closeups but want the food to stay in focus, you’ll likely need to make use of tapping the screen and entering the 1-Area focus mode and make sure to keep that box on the food. Can be difficult with hands moving around in the frame though. You could slow down how quickly your camera responds to subjects moving and how quickly it racks focus as well so it’s not as jumpy. Failing that, manual focus 😁

I just upgraded to the GH7 From the GH5. This autofocus is is realy different. I shoot events with crowds, what would be the best autofocus setting to shoot in a crowd, without the autofocus going crazy and trying to focus on random people?
@Markchristiankc
@Markchristiankc 6 ай бұрын
Congrats on the upgrade! So I think there’s two things you could do. First try sticking to single area af so you only have whatever is in the box as in focus. Then two, in the focusing settings make the sensitivity and focus speed much slower. That should help it not switch focus all over the place. If you’re finding it still too fast manual focus may be the way to go in some instances :)

@@Markchristiankc hello and thank you for answering me. Yes I know that but the little box you can make bigger is much smaller than it was on the s5. I'm sorry if I'm being unclear English isn't my first language as you probably can tell. So my problem is that the focus zone I make bigger is smaller than the same focus zone on the s5 when I turn the wheel to make it bigger. Since this camera has more focus zones I'm surprised you can't make it as big as on the older camera. I must be missing a setting right?

The autofocus on the S5ii has decreased in ability to focus by leaps and bounds. The contrast detection Depth from Defocus was slower to focus but got there. The PDAF for photography doesn’t focus at all about 30% of the time. As a photographer who does very little video I would say the S5ii PDAF is unacceptable. It goes without saying you title should have stated the best autofocus settings for the S5ii relates to the video autofocus. Most of the S5ii autofocus videos are geared for video shooters. The photographer in the audience is being ignored. I tried setting my S5ii up the way you described. You would show the LCD screen very quickly and then show the choices from the menu. I had to stop the video several times and rewatch to catch up to you when you segued. For continuous AF the camera refused to go into Mode2. Turns out Mode2 only works while recording video. I am going to return this camera because of the very poor quality autofocus. I will buy a Fuji camera. The Fuji auto focus may not be as good as the S5ii advertised autofocus but it does work. More than I can say for the S5ii. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
