I didn't ask for this but it was very informative. I will apply on my next shoot!

Dale Whitehead exactly!! Funny!

[@MattKander]

I fully thought his 'alright guys i'm gonna stop the video here' - was going to address Diana and throw up some proof of the comments lol

[@elias38]

Dale Whitehead that’s the best part

[@cravemodels3123]

You’re the reason why I purchased the A7iii, I’ve been in love with it ever since. Your tutorials helps soooooooo much

[@SPER1]

Thanks for adding that BTS part at the end. It's nice knowing that things aren't all seamless and peachy when making a video and that you have to do multiple takes to get things right, and also to have fun with it.

[@gennatay]

The A6000’s have great autofocus features, something I miss so much when I got the A7II. Can’t wait to get the A7III

[@stevesvanderpool8653]

I first had the A7II as well. It's night and day difference with A7III autofocus. There is eyeaf on A7II if you map it to a button. I didn't know that for the longest.

[@oneleggedlifter7660]

@@stevesvanderpool8653 is that really? I've got the A7ii and the camera store told me it does have eye af, i have tried to set it to a button but i can't select it, it always says it does not work with this lens, and i have tried multiple lenses

I love this content. Makes me (the viewer) feel like I’m part of it. Having Diana not only as a model, but a genuine person was awesome.

Manny Captured “The One” a long time ago. He doesn’t need capture one . 😁

[@chiragkant]

Diana's hilarious persona.. And Manny's knowledge/inputs.. A perfect video.. This is a great tip.. Thanks alot..

[@carlossiguenza331]

I liked using capture one... its just a bit more expensive 😭. Sliiide that free year over here fam

[@ismaeloaz8313]

The fact I was convinced into Sony cameras, I like your a Sony user for several years makes everything well worth it, thank you 🙏

[@ivonned32]

What a great advice! Im about to put my hands on a a7riii this weekend! Cant wait!🎉

[@averyrucker6444]

Y’all have to be one of the funniest couples in America🤣

[@basilclunie8047]

Glad you 'read out' the difference in using flexible spot rather than wide for shots where the eye is not in view. Few have noted that the little boxes are actually focusing on the nearest point; actually, answering this question was important for us who have the tracking focus in one camera, but not in the A7 III (Sorry, Diana.)

[@dennishumbla5431]

Great tip! It even works great on A7II In AF-S and with AF-C the face detect still works and In both AF-C and AF-S that flexible spot takes over when the face Is not there 👍 so nice tip! Thanks Manny😊

[@jeremyferguson9292]

I have been struggling with this since I got the A7iii so make sure to let your wife know I am here asking about it! Thanks for showing the steps to make it seamless!

[@michaelgrobin6781]

Great info been wanting to have a travel camera other then my APS-C Fuji. I bought an A7ii and wasn’t impressed at all by the auto focus it was awful honestly. The lack of joystick was a bummer too. I am humoring trying the A7iii to have a full frame walk around camera that’s the size of a Fuji. Tell her this was EXACTLY the video I needed to sway me to try the A7iii as a contender! Thanks dude!

[@mattreyes79]

This is actually a great tip. I’ve had some issues in low light conditions losing the eye and I lose all focus on the area I want to focus on because of that WIDE setting. I’ll have to try this out. Looks like it will help me at least move to the area I want to focus on rather than depending on the camera and waiting on it to decide. Thanks Manny. Appreciate the tip. - #ShootDopePics

[@mystahgerri8178]

You guys are so funny I love how you both work together to Impact the channel it’s a real inspiration to us married individuals looking to get on KZbin with our significant others. Do you ever do beauty shoots I’m really interested in beauty photography? I’m trying to get into tethering so capture one might be the way to go

[@NosUnlimited]

Even though I didn't ask this question, I'm glad you posted it because it was something i was worrying about with regards to grabbing proper focus in those situations

[@Mrgunsngear]

great info

[@PhotosByMBG]

I always tune in to watch ur videos, Manny!! Capture One Pro seems like the real deal.

[@aprilp5922]

You two are the best KZbin photography couple!

[@gentlegnt]

Too funny!!! Your sweetheart keeps you sharp man. Happy for you! Takes a supportive partner in life to make our photography passion work. If she/they are unhappy, our passion suffers. Good for you guys!!📸👍🏾👍🏾

[@DenisJosifoski]

Since I have Sony A73 for last week, I'm still learning so much on this camera. And you made it much simplier with this. Thanks!

[@micknificent]

I’m still waiting for the Manny & Diane KZbin channel. I love your chemistry. You guys are truly blessed to have each other. I’m staying with Canon and continue to watch your channel. Keep up the great work.

[@LMActionsports]

Thanks for this video. It’s going to really help me out when I get my first Sony. Switching over from the Nikon z system to Sony and I am going to need all these tutorials to get up to speed with the new system. Tell the wifey this video was needed. Lol.

[@CMJewels19]

Thank you. I went and got my camera and made the adjustments. And it works great.

[@christophercaves5484]

Gonna try this on my first shoot ever today. Wish me luck. Thanks Manny

[@jonathanpayetphotography]

The most honest and genuine reviewer...👌🏻

[@Janet_Airlines802]

Thanks for video Manny, I’m a canon shooter but I love your videos. I’m trying to learn portraiture so I can do weddings and portraits in future, mainly shoot landscape and street right now.

[@penfex]

Thanks Manny, I had used most of these features separately but did not know when/why to move from one setting to the other and when one took priority over another. Your demonstration connected all the dots for me and now I understand it. Big thanks - Chris

[@saviourudo1062]

You’ve always been putting out informative videos. Thank you for this one.

[@nesseaquest4835]

Thank you Manny! I feel like I owe you money every time I watch your videos! I am a new Sony photographer this helps me out a lot! Bdw your wife is gorgeous!

[@paico26]

That Sony a7Riii is a monster! Love it!

[@royottaway9434]

I am cosidering the the A73 myself , thank you Manny and love your banter with your MRS .

[@vegita319]

That's amazing man! Didn't know you can full time eye af- wide mode as long as there is an eye or face. Super pro tip. Thanks Manny. Yes I've had it jump to random objects many times and it sucks.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Actually, he answered a question I was wondering about. Kudos to Manny. Thank you.

[@raz3000]

This is a great trick that I would never have considered in my a7iii to toggle between eye af and non-face object af. Thanks for sharing

[@KenyG226]

Love your videos Manny! My lady & I, inspire to be a team like you & Diana!

[@daquiksta]

Totally agree about Capture One, most powerful raw editor on the market. I would love to get a Pro licence 😉 Keep the good work Manny, Sony should also thank you as I bought an A7R3 because of you. Thanks for all the content!

[@tinplater]

Thanks! I have found using "touch to focus" helpful when I lose subject. I'm just not a good manipulator of a joystick!

[@DJ_S-3-R-G]

Tracking is also on the a6400 and a6600. I have the a6600 and I love the tracking! So convenient!

[@TheWooleybooger]

Love you guys chemistry & banter

[@seanharwell4126]

I was a die hard Canon user until yesterday. This video reiterates I'm making the right decision switching to Sony.

[@damayoclinic]

Thanks for the focus settings, means a lot. Other Photographers maybe curious on how other photographers shoot, tricks and tips and settings.

[@Ntuthuko1984]

You guys are such a great couple! Goals 🙌🏾

[@haseoxdualblades4126]

LOL That's teamwork right there. Photography looks so fun and I am waiting to start having fun. Just need to get out and shoot more.

[@kristensenkevinperez4931]

Diana is the real mvp. 💯

[@chryseass.5143]

Manny, tell Diana that you are so attuned to your viewers needs that you just know what we want to watch! Thanks for clearly explaining the best autofocus settings now that we have updated our Sony cameras with the latest firmware. I am feeling the need to go back and revisit all my in camera settings to see if they are still optimal. A quick tutorial on A7iii/riii in-camera menu settings in 2019 might be very helpful ( I am asking you, Diana, ha,ha!) Jonathon looks like a patient young man but surely he is Diana's baby bro -not her son!

[@MannyOrtiz]

That’s her son alright lol

[@chryseass.5143]

@@MannyOrtizShe got you both 'trained'. ha.ha!

[@frederickbrownHWTB]

Great info...I have been going back and forth with back button focus. But I think I really like using the shutter button instead. I love watching you two...you guys remind me of a younger version of my wife and I. Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you guys much success!

[@KMaggzy]

I didn't askfor this, but I have just got my new A7iii and this video is a huge help to get me started, thank you!!

[@SumanZaman]

I've been shooting Nikon for about 10yrs. Have been waiting for their mirrorless range but not impressed. Might need to jump over to Sony. They're innovative and regularly roll out software updates with new features.

[@rogerserra3711]

The chemistry you guys have together is amazing. Keep up the great work. Super glad your pumping out more and more sony content. I was one that was wondering what setting you used. Now how about some sigma primes for full frame E mount content. That would be cool
