@Pierre T. Lambert My favorite focusing mode is back button focus. I detach the focus activation from the shutter button to give me more control. It comes in very handy for shooting action. When I know my subject is in the focus zone, I can shoot quickly and not worry the camera will stop me from taking a picture because it may get confused to what is in focus.
@MrJueKa6 жыл бұрын
@Pierre T. Lambert my absolutely favourite focus mode is the so-called "Back-Button Autofocus" (BBAF) mode which is a mixture of managing AF-S + AF-C modes, I never focus via shutter button my three absolut helpful tips for sharp images: 1) never buy or use cameras without a viewfinder (+ diopter adjustment) and prefer the viewfinder over the monitor because of No. 2 2) learn and use effective camera holding techniques which help capture sharper images ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3XWqWZje7yZrc0 with a little bit of thinking and training this technique works for everyone no matter whether you`re a right-eye or left-eye shooter or you can switch easily, but it minimizes your fails) 3) use a tripod or a monopod as often as possible, that`s the easiest and perfect way to always get sharp photos under all circumstances, especially when using Live View, with a backpack it`s easy to always carry a lightweight but effective tripod with you, there are models aviable for every need, using a tripod or monopod has nothing to do with the focal length you use and on the other side pros can catch sharper images as you even with longer hand-held focal lengths because they´ve trained it and they are used to it of course I use Manual AF mode when the automatic modes fail for whatever reasons or when I shoot macros, table tops, food, products, landscapes, architecture or even portraits especially with wide open aperture + longer focal lengths, street photography with short focal lengths (24 or 35 mm FF, focus once set manual in relation to the aperture + depth of field, fixed with tape, done, or I use one of my elder non AF lenses) or when I have to photograph causing as less noise as possible (wildlife, special performances or events), but it all depends on the subject, the circumstances and of course my personal mood (the main factor in my photography !!)

Also avoid the random focus on the bamboo tree in the background problem you mentioned that can happen at any time with the shutter button focus

But how can you do this if the subject is moving while shooting f/2.8 or below? You can't manually move the focus point so fast and accurately and at the same time pressing the release. I mean let's say for example some paparazzi fotos where you are rather far away, so you have like 85mm or 105mm (or even more) and the subject is just moving erratically and it's quite shadowy so you need to use quite a big aperture. Wouldn't you rather use the locking mode, where the camera automatically follows the subject? And why not use this all the time with moving objects?

@@RVDS1996 It's technique where you disable default autofocus on half-pressed shutter button and have it set to some custom button in the back of the camera. Your AF mode is also always set to AF-C. This way you don't ever have to switch between AF-S or AF-C. When you need continues AF, you keep button pressed, when you have to pick up something in focus and recompose, you don't have time to move focus ppint on the screen, you just lift your finger from the button and it turns off autofocusing.

I already knew all this but its refreshing to re hear it or watch. One thing I wanted to say for beginners is that learning manual mode inside and out is very beneficial and a must to learn how your camera works. Once you understand aperture, shutter, and iso its possible to know exactly what settings to use quickly just by looking at the scene with your eyes. It becomes like second nature to quickly change certain settings and be just as fast as say aperture priority.

@thetimemachine38286 жыл бұрын
parinaz Az - Yeah. I have had the same problem. It can be solved in a number of ways. Obviously stopping down your aperture is going to give you a greater Depth of Field and increase the “zone” in front of your lens in which you’ll be in focus. and give you a greater chance of capturing a a sharp self portrait. However, the downside of doing this is the loss of bokeh in both the fore and background. I consider this to be a big problem. Nothing makes a portrait pop like bokeh. I have a simple wireless remote that works with my old Canon 600D. It was cheap and it will help you obtain focus if you’re using any of the automatic modes (such as Aperture Priority). This is not without problems either you have to be directly in front of your camera for the wireless function to work and larger lenses can block the wireless receiver on your camera, and you have this thing in your hand...it’s certainly not a panacea, but you can make it work. Someone commented on using your mobile phone as a remote if your camera has that capability? Mine doesn’t, so I can’t comment on it’s effectiveness. Have you tried setting your camera to take a burst of shots? I can set my 600D up to take a burst of up to 10 shots. You can then move towards or away from your camera as it fires a burst of shots and hope you hit the sweet spot as you move... There’s a lot of tricks you can use by combining one or more of the above + making use of your cameras focus tracking system. Trial and error and creative use of the tech at your disposal will give you good results, but it can take some time to find out what works for you as far as focusing goes. Then you only have to worry about composition, light, your modelling skills and everything else that goes into getting a really good portrait!!! Hey, if it was easy we’d all have shots on the cover of magazines!! Hope this has been of some help. For what it’s worth - remember to have fun and don’t get discouraged if you don’t get the shot you want every time. In time you will - and the mistakes along the way are just part of the process every good photographer must under go. Or so I hear!, ‘cause I’m not yet a good photographer. I will be someday. 👍🏼

I have an old Canon 600D. It’s a fine tool for where I’m presently at with my photography. It has 9 focus points only but I rarely take a shot without using at least 3 or 4 different points.

It takes a few days to get used to, but in my case I never went back. And it's years ago now. So: BBAF and Continuous handles everything here. Only case of manual focus is when using my only macro lens which is a 50 (fifty) year old Nikkor and ofc in full manual. But even in Manual my camera (D300s) tells me when the subject is in focus (little green dot in the viewer) and it works fine for me. The BBAF also makes it a lot faster to compose a shot because you only need to let go of the BBAF when focus is reached and then compose. And is it a moving object then just keep the button pressed and move camera as needed which is good for sports and wildlife. So:: BBAF ftw :D

Particularly when trying to get detail in lowlight places like markets and churches. Good video otherwise. Controling where youre focusing is definitely a key point.

that's not what focus peaking is. Focus peaking is like highlight warning. Except it overlays a color or pattern where the image is in focus instead of where its blown out.

Yes I totally failed, it didn't show on the camera haha. That's magnifier, the peaking was supposed to show up to... mmm! Thanks for letting me know! ps: new video is out!! Enjoy!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJvQfJ2rd9mSfMk

I use back button focus rather than half press on shutter release. I also manual with the camera screen and zoom-in when I need pin sharp focus for a landscape photo.

Oh cool! What do you shoot mainly?
@harisargyropoulos30876 жыл бұрын
I shoot landscapes, weddings, portraits and street photography and from those only in street photography I use manual focus! This is because I have many old vintage lens so I can't shoot auto focus!

immortal 23 Do you use any particular technique to manual focus quickly on weddings?
@harisargyropoulos30876 жыл бұрын
@@taz24787 at first I only hoped that I was doing correct focus and I changed focus at every photo but after some months I realised that I only have to have do focus on on e thing and keep almost every time the same meters away from the subject

I am mostly in AF-S. Yesterday my camera was in MF suddenly due to it turning on in my bag. Somehow it was hard to get out of it. And then mostly either Zone-focus, or highlights. Your trick actually. Although it introduces noise in high dynamic situations
