Nikon D3300 / D3200 Focus Square Tutorial | How to Focus Training Video

[@emleecee]

Incredible informational video. You used simple to understand language for beginners, paused at the right moments, spoke slow so we could follow but no too slow to where we were waiting for you to continue onto the next point, and didn't have a monotonous/robotic way of describing which would easily bore people. I am a beginner and I appreciated this so much. I literally was able to watch this ONCE and leave using these features of my camera naturally with not one problem or any confusion. Thanks again!

[@MMaven]

Thank you!

[@zinziswa]

Emily Cooke yeah really helpful

[@MMaven]

D3300 & D3200 Focusing Video is up. Sorry this has taken so long, but at least I hope it helps you guys learn your cameras! Enjoy!

[@Jay-mj6xe]

You are literally a Professor in explaining DSLR functions. I learned so much man, in less than 2 months. It's all because of you.

[@MMaven]

The Camera Guy You too speak words of wisdom! This is all I do now :) Thank you for your appreciation.

[@mehul3028]

MichaelTheMentor Could you please make a comparision video of nikon d3300 and canon 700d ? Please

[@nflink]

Your video was short and to the point, I had no trouble focusing.

[@jeromeraphaelcabacungan8721]

4 years later, this comment is still on point.

[@ashishsainik]

This video deserves way more views and likes than it currently has. Even if you have a different camera model it should be helpful. Michael explains the Focusing in the simplest way possible.

[@atharvasathe5530]

Watching this for the first time, and even if it was shot 7 years ago, It is highly informative and useful than many other videos.

[@moazqadri5324]

Highly informative. I won't be upgrading my camera to a full frame anytime soon now that I can learn much more with the d3200

[@L.Cartier]

Moaz Qadri Me as well.

[@clairescribner4102]

Thank you so much! My camera was stuck on the multi-focus points mode and I was getting super frustrated trying to focus on eyes and having it change on me! Your tutorial answered my question and walked me through how to change it back to the single point mode. Ah, so much better! Thank you!

[@199711251]

This helped a lot! Especially with where the camera focuses! Never could figure out how to change the focal point! So thank you very much!

[@13olemissrebel]

Absolutely the best beginner tutorial for Nikon focusing system I have seen to date. Thank you for making this video.

[@robackerman2140]

Beautifully explained. Thank you!

[@G1V3M3URTAGS]

Amazing. Thank you for this tutorial. It is a great reference for a beginner like me.

[@1948treetop]

One of the best articulate tutorials on youtube I have seen.

[@osceolahansen2644]

Michael Thanks a lot for this video. Believe it or not I was under the impression that my 3200 did not auto focus. I was more convinced of this after calling Nikon to find out why it wasn't auto focusing & being told " not all 3200 auto focus" I've since found out that the customer service reps Nikon has answering there phones know as much or much less than I do. After watching your video realized that I had it in MF the entire time. I'm ashamed to say that I've had the camera almost six months & have used it many times not realizing that fact. Again this video had been the most useful & informative that I have come across on the 3200. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@martinsotherstuff3354]

Perfectly explained. And no annoying background music (it's an 'age' thing)! Thanks...

[@johndonnison8920]

Many thanks for this. I bought the camera yesterday and must have changed a setting without knowing I'd done so and couldn't get it to auto-focus. After watching this video it's now fine. Saved me a lot of stress!! Keep up the good work. I have a feeling I'll be re-visiting.

[@Ladywrip]

My gawd you are THE BEST at explaining the things ppl (beginners) need to know about photography and cameras. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for taking the time to do these tutorials... THANK YOU!! I just subscribed:-)

[@alexgavril6875]

Thanks. Just got mine D3300. Can't wait to try it out

[@fernandobernis8443]

Great hint. As I am a very new begginer, it helped me a lot with the focusing set up in my camera D3300. Thank you all the way from Brazil.

[@adityasundar324]

I started off with the auto mode and slowly graduated to the Manual mode. The manual mode indeed gives absolute control over the camera. There are certain situations where computers are just not able to make the best possible decision, so I suggest people to start experimenting with manual mode. Experiment with the ISO levels, Shutter speed and aperture. And Manual focusing is a must when it comes to Macro Photography. Great video as always

[@eviltwin2322]

I got a d3200 2 days ago and this video has been a huge help, thank you so much. I will definitely be checking out your crash course.

[@grafixcitytv3793]

Thank you for the very informative and useful video tutorial of the Nikon D3200/D3300 focusing points and other relevant information with regards to "focusing" of the camera. Your video tutorial is very clear and it really helps a lot! To be honest, I learned something very useful and helpful watching your video and I really amazed with your presentation! Thank you again and more power.

[@CherryValleyDr]

Very thorough and easy to understand. I've watched plenty of other videos on this subject and either they were too technical or explained too quickly to grasp anything. You made it easy and simple to understand, thanks.

[@krstldwn]

Since switching from Canon to Nikon, I couldn't figure out how to change my focus point (and it was driving me absolutely batty since my focus points kept changing to nothing I wanted). Thanks for the clear description. Seems so easy now! :D

[@AllinTMC]

Your videos are awesome.. after years of debating I finally purchased a DSLR. I get it in the mail soon. can't wait to start shooting

[@crazykenz4203]

OH MY GOSH THIS WAS SOOO HELPFUL! I just won the D3300 and have no idea how to use it - I have never had a DSLR before, so was so excited to win it...but I have absolutely no idea how to use it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@lexikoelle6264]

OMG how did you win one?

[@crazykenz4203]

Lexi Koelle A KZbin special fx makeup channel was having a giveaway - you had to submit a crazy makeup look - so I did, and they chose mine! Too cool!

[@muzammilnawazhashmii3519]

You speak English very decently and nicely

[@OliverGomes]

I have been looking to understand Focus and after seeing tons of tutorials, this is the most clear explanation.Thanks MichaelTheMentor Awesome work !!!

[@johnwood5461]

Clear and precise information...thank you.

[@cannedmusic]

Thank you! Practical demonstration is a lot easier to understand than manuals. One more reason I make most of my photo gear purchases from your organization.

[@SaurabRao]

Thanks for showing how to change the focussing points in AF-S mode..i am a pure beginner and was aghast seeing that my cam was having only one of corner points as the focus!

[@rencerioosoriolpt6248]

Wow!!!! I was amazed! You are the best speaker!

[@tiffannywilliams5150]

I have Nikon d3400 with 11 autofocus I never knew abt this. That why i am having hard times with focus. Now finally i see the answers. U are great teacher. I am going to try that. Thank u so much

[@tectorama]

Excellent video. It's taught me more than the manual could ever have done. Thanks

[@PoppaMarts18]

Thank you, i'll be attending a baptism in an hour and I just bought my camera last week and im still unfamiliar with its focus capabilities, thank you again *bows down*

[@COJordan]

You made the focus options on my D3300 very easy to understand. Much appreciated!

[@theflipflopwife4752]

Thank you! I was watching another video and they were talking about changing the focus point but didn't show how they got there. Now I get it!

[@RyanHasvold]

Incredibly informative, helpful, and refreshingly straightforward. I wish I had found this video first, instead of the 5th video, because this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Michael!

[@swethakishore1669]

That's awesome Michael .The way you modulated your voice and paused when required shows good a trainer you are ! I learned a lot from this video Thanks a lot

[@arielfalero3639]

Thanks Mike! This helped out a lot. I can't believe that I did not look this up before. I am quite the amateur and shot my first concert a couple of weeks ago. I tried out your suggestions on my son running around and I was totally shocked at the quality of the subject and my pictures. I sure missed out on some great shots at the concert that came out blurred prior to watching this.

[@epicwanderlust0331]

Very informational for beginners. Can't wait til I get on my cruise vacation to use this Nikon D3300!

[@1489jrivera]

Wow, exelent video to help me. This camera is awezome. I like to take pictures like a hobby and I have this camera and now can do a best pictures! Thanks so much

[@renderuthis]

Just what I was looking for to learn. I think Ill stick with center focus and then reframe if I want to focus on something off to the side.

[@renderuthis]

Oh and I like the half way back button.

[@billneal8995]

Excellent video! Thank you very helpful

[@manel7480]

[@newlich]

Very very good teaching. Well explained. Thanks Michael. This is super useful for a D3300 beginner like me.

[@AUsmanAcoustics]

Thank you Michael. This was very helpful.

[@carlhouck4387]

There are hundreds of videos like this on KZbin but NONE of them are as concise and to the point as this one with JUSt the right amount of detail. Excellent presentation style on all fronts. Thank you so, so very much Michael!

[@whiskyfake]

Thank you!

[@decoman100]

excellent thank you for the video

[@OldSchoolissoKool]

You're awesome.Thank you so much I was struggling with focus.

[@SomethingGamecatAdjacent]

This video is perfect.

[@BobThomason-rht]

Great video. I've just purchased a D3200 which I had a chance to try out a couple of weeks ago. I love the flexibility. I haven't used this grade of camera since the mid 70's when I shot with a Cannon F-1. They've come a long way. One suggestion (as a web designer). You might consider placing your website link at the beginning of this description as well. That way your viewers do not have to use the "show more" to find your link.

[@emadsanuri203]

Thank you, you are really a professor

[@gronald86]

Very nice video, thanks a lot! I'll start practicing.

[@TheSundayGamer]

Love a well done and thorough tutorial video. You have gained another subscriber. Well done!

[@MMaven]

Thank you my friend!

[@tutts999]

Very interesting video. I just got a d3300 and look forward to putting some of your tips into practice. 😊

[@maryannclawson9138]

The biggest surprise was however the image quality after we analyzed our initial 350 photos on a large monitor. The yield of usable photos was right out of the box very high, which reiterates the ease of use of this camera and the great auto-focus system despite only 11 sensors.

[@jayarajums]

Wow! your explaination is wonderful, Thank you, hoping more videos from you.

[@erfut]

Thank you, very clear explanations

[@loveabuttersquash]

fabulous job thank u

[@apurvaagarwal]

Thank you Michael! Really helpful. Was about to ask for a video for focussing with video and then saw your comment below. Hope that one is also as useful. Thanks again.
