This is the first video of yours that I've watched. The importance of taking sharp photos cannot be overstated and you have managed to recap all the affecting factors. Thank you so much.

Thanks Kevin for all the 7/8 tips. They were brief, to the point yet crisp. This is the first video of yours that I've watched too.

[@kevinraposo]

glad they were helpful!

[@SingtotheMountainStudio]

especially like your section on shutter speed. Nice break down of factors affecting sharpness.

Just found your page today and have been watching your videos for the past couple hours. Amazing content and love this video!

[@kevinraposo]

Appreciate the kind words, glad you've enjoyed them!

[@karenwinter5081]

Very valuable advice! I switched from Canon 5D mark IV to Canon R5 and struggled with the auto focus settings. I used to shoot single shot and recompose but the continuous mode was the answer with the auto focus eye tracking. Thank you!

[@kevinraposo]

Eye tracking on the Canon R5 is unbelievable. Glad this was helpful!

Thank you for the very informative video. I struggled with soft focus, but after watching the video my pictures are sharp. Thanks again and keep the videos rolling.

Really good tips. I am suffering from images that aren’t as sharp as I’d like, so this gives me so ideas to apply.

[@kevinraposo]

glad it was helpful!

[@frankcervone721]

Hi Kevin, great job with the video. I changed my approach to getting sharper photos by upping my shutter speed to 500 aperture to 5.6 and auto ISO. Made a big difference. I did introduce some noise, but my photos are much sharper.

[@kevinraposo]

Appreciate it, glad it was helpful!

Great Info ! Down to earth nothing fancy. Love it!

[@kevinraposo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@josenoriega7379]

Of all the advice given here, the most important is hand holding the camera. Of course, this depends on the height the photographer wants to take the photo (Head, chest, hips or knee height).

[@kevinraposo]

appreciate it and agree!

[@susangreenlee2460]

Thank you, Kevin and Kingston! This video was very informative for me. I'm 68 years old and have problems getting tack sharp photos. I've never thought about distance having anything to do with sharpness. Of the 6 lenses I own, 5 of them are zoom lenses, so I'm constantly zooming in rather than getting closer to the subject, and then wondering why my photos are soft! I bought a Canon R6 in June, and I am determined to use what I've learned in your video to achieve the results I desire. Thank you again!

[@antoniovinciguerra8982]

This is some good insight but I often struggle to navigate and understand my camera‘s controls - now, granted, I expected that would be the case.

[@kevinraposo]

Takes time - the more you shoot, the more it often becomes muscle memory.

[@anneswitzer4833]

found your video most helpful .. my trouble is keeping iso, aperture, and shutter speed all in sync :)

[@kevinraposo]

Glad it helped!

[@salmo6]

Regarding autofocus settings, here's something I've never quite understood: As a wildlife photographer, I have my camera set to continuous autofocus 100% of the time, because obviously my subjects are usually moving. But even if my subject is motionless, or I'm shooting something like a flower that never moves, I still leave it on continuous autofocus, because why bother changing it? If it's in focus moving it'll still be in focus standing still, right? Or is there some advantage to one-shot autofocus that I'm missing?

[@kevinraposo]

Good question - for me, the significant benefit is the audible 'beep' and confirmation that your focus has been locked in successfully.

[@rogergranquist]

The biggest difference is the camera is constantly searching for any new focus setting it needs to adjust in real time with the continuous mode, so it can potentially become unreliable for a still image where it can “hunt” for focus and be out of focus when you take the picture. If you’ve had good success then that’s great, but with one time focus, you won’t risk it hunting when taking the picture. Also you can set focus and then even reframe with out it changing the focus too. I use that technique quite a bit as that’s easier to do than change what focus point it uses every time.

[@ktealby]

Heat wave interference! That's a pretty sneaky tip. 10/10 made it worth watching.
