[@Demonchu74]

Hi Paul. I only recently got into photography (at 46 years old!!) and after much reading I decided on the Canon 2000d after you reviewed and recommended it... just wanted to say a big thank you for all your you tube videos!! So clear and by far the easiest videos for learning the basics of photography. Thanks and please keep up the videos

[@photogenius]

Great to hear, thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment - so glad you're loving your new camera. Thanks for watching, so many more videos to come 😀

[@christinepryor3200]

Ive been too embraced to admit that I could not figure out how to focus my mirror less digital camera....even on auotofocus. These video tutorials are going to be revolutionary for me.

[@threeam____]

Dude thank you so much !!! I just got this thing & all my photos was comin out blurry hahaha. Almost thought I was scammed ! You are a massive help.

[@Swiftershock]

I just bought myself an EOS 500D DSLR Cant wait to get started

[@263KLY64]

Thank you, you are by far, the best on teaching basics on CANON TIPS.....I have a T6, and only after your help, I've able to just start using some of the great features of my camera........You got a fan in Brazil.....

[@latenighter1965]

I have had the issue with nearly the same settings that the halfway down option takes the photo and doesnt focus. Depending on the scene I am taking, light and all. Why does it do that??? Please answer

[@photogenius]

Thank you Charles.

[@photogenius]

If a half press of the photo does not activate Auto Focus then it sounds like you have the AF turned of. Is their a switch on the side of the lens ? If so make sure it is not set to MF (which is manual focus), once switched to AF your problem should be solved. if you have a lens that does not have the switch then you will need to check focus mode settings on the camera. Hope that helps.

[@johnreypines6538]

I learned a lot from you every time you uploaded a new video. Thank you.

[@aliciaalison5986]

I haven't watched your videos in a while, but watching this made me realize why I started following you in the first place. I had no clue you could adjust the focus by turning the front part of the lense. Thank you for your amazing videos!

[@photogenius]

Welcome back Alicia - thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave your feedback. There is always something to learn so I'm glad you enjoyed the video and picked up another cool tip. Best wishes Paul 😀

[@Mario_Turcotte]

Thank you for another interesting video. I wish I was close to Brisbane :) You are everything I'm looking for to learn photography. - You are an outstanding teacher, calm and soft voice, - You explain in depth the two cameras that I have interest in, - Your videos are perfect, length, sound and visually crisp, - I'll stop here before your head don't fit in the door frame :P Thanks again for all the videos and experience you share with us.

[@photogenius]

WOW! Thanking you so much for your kind words Mario which are very much appreciated. As a full time photography tutor, nothing gives me more pleasure than helping others achieve their goals and take better photos. Best wishes to you Paul

[@MrSanTang]

Focus is one of my difficulties. Most of the time I try do do it through the visor but it is not always possible. My second approach is through the display and this is where I miss a sharp focus. I learned something here by using that button.

[@meghanhadley7194]

Your videos are the only thing helping me through photography school :)

[@Moujik6540]

Very good tips like always,thanks

[@wilmamermelstein1813]

[@denitsavladimirova7419]

Another great tutorial ! Thank you 👍

[@photogenius]

You are very welcome, thanks for watching.

[@tomfurman2968]

Thanks Paul. Great tutorial. Is this another way to simplify focusing: 1) choose a single focus point in the center, 2) line that point up with the object you want in focus, 3) half press the shutter, 4) move the camera to frame the desired shot (without removing your finger from the shutter), 5) take the shot. If this works, you never have to mess with changing the focus point. Looking for set it and forget it. Thanks. Tom F

[@greenNRGinit]

Thanks Paul, you make photography interesting and easier to do. 👍

I love videos that demystify relatively straitforward concepts. This opens the door for creative people to explore new mediums. What a great gift! People like you are the backbone of KZbin!

[@blasmartinez8985]

Always great video 🙂

[@winstondsouza3542]

I loved the pic on the desktop behind you😊😊

[@daveyboy13]

Been watching your videos,thank you! I bought the t7/2000D and I’ve never really had a camera. I love all your videos and tutorials mostly because it seems that’s the camera you demonstrate. I have to admit it’s big learning curve and sometimes I have to watch the tutorials over again. It’s been a huge help. Went out to try twice and the second time I was much better

[@christiecipriano5648]

This was very helpful! I sometimes have difficulty getting a nice sharp focus.

[@EZ-viewing.]

Thanks again for another brilliant presentation. Learning heaps from you.

[@johnleonard4149]

Thank you Paul, for clarifying the focus points. I was having a tad difficulty grasping the use of them on my Canon 2000 D DSLR. I have been watching your channel for 10 months, or so, and I learn something new every week... Thank you, John- Pennsylvania. USA

[@photogenius]

Great to hear John, thank you so much for the feedback and for supporting my channel over the last 10 months - hopefully lots more to come!! Paul 🙂

[@Nam3Iess]

Great subject. My mom turned 60 in november and I wanted to make some nice pictures with my D3500 and the 35mm F1.8 (bought the lens used one and a half years ago). Everything went well until I noticed that the autofocus stopped working and I had to focus manually. I can still use the lens for astro but for portraits I ordered a brand new lens 😊

[@photogenius]

Hope then new lens performs better for you, thank you for watching.

[@Nam3Iess]

@@photogenius Yes it is as solid as expected. If I can take just one lens for travel it would be the 35mm F1.8.

[@rachel9]

I love your tips! I always learn something new! Thank you!

[@photogenius]

You are so welcome Rachel, thank you for your support.

[@frankbelt633]

You are a very good explainer/teacher. Thank you.

[@Digital_Photog1995]

I use back button focus and manual focus!

[@stuartmi7chell129]

Many thanks for your videos finding them very helpful 👍🏻

[@photogenius]

No problem 👍

[@deshirlrankins969]

This is excellent Paul!! Thank you so much, again for your excellent tips for me in taking good pictures with my Nikon D5600!

[@ttw1981]

Thank you so much, you are doing a great job. Very clear explanation and easy to understand .

[@hugorazo9448]

Thank you Paul! I've always stayed away from manual focus for fear of not getting it right, but with your instruction I can now do it! Love your channel!

[@photogenius]

Great to hear, thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

[@kpixiewings_Kelley]

Great information in a short, to the point, video! Thanks!

[@b1llcars0n]

hi Paul I like your tutorials, don't think I've ever heard you mention back button focus

[@photogenius]

Back button focus is not a subject I've covered as yet, but from all the comments I've received today it looks like I will have to amend this very soon. Best wishes Bob and thanks for the support.

[@raymondfoster8842]

Your great PAUL thank you

[@blancaartgallery]

Yet another thing I’ve learned. Thank you. Did not know the difference between the zoom and lens on the front. I’m just learning, I’m slow but I just practice and repeat. Your videos are so far the best to follow and understand. Thank you.

[@photogenius]

Glad it was helpful, appreciated the feedback.

[@roybaker6366]

[@onemanband3579]

[@briancarr89]

Hi Paul. Thanks for another excellent, instructive video. Looking forward to the next one!

[@CLHMedia-gv6cp]

Thank you so much for your video! I realized how powerful my canon EOS 4000D really is because of you. I was having trouble getting my camera to focus on specific subjects. You unveiled a lot of hidden gems I didn’t know about as far as specs on the camera that allow us to zoom in closer to focus on our subject. Had a shoot today with a 50mm lens and the pics were beyond amazing. You’re the goat💪🏽

[@Twobarpsi]

Great advice!
