Hey all, I've become aware that this method doesn't work on Sony cameras, so I made a follow-up video on how to use this method on Sony! Here you go -kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5DKZp99rrKKb8U

[@raychelawesome]

Me starting this: hell yeah so excited! Me @1:32 hearing mirrorless: ight imma head out 😂😂

[@Angxl_VlkZ]

Can relate 😂

[@ilariapetrucci6387]

This was soooo helpful thank you!!! Been a professional wedding photographer for 10 years and NEVER taken self-portraits! until now. Thanks again!

[@kdavistangled]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this. I just got the r6 mii and lost my remote shutter! I take our family portraits and a remote shutter and canon connect app we're not ideal. This helps me maintain my candid style while getting in the shot. THANK YOU

[@sovereignacademyfortheperf4591]

Jeez!!! Finally a coherent explanation for this device!! Thank you for this. 🎉

[@user-ev3mp1qc2q]

I tried this today. Used my R6 M2 and the EF85mm, people tracking, eye tracking, whole area focus like you suggested. I sat on a chair with my dog in my lap in my studio. Every shot of 50 was out of focus!! I turned off whole area focus and the camera focused on my dog's boy, so my face was out of focus. Don't understand why it didn't find me, or my eyes. It didn't find my dog's eyes either. Disappointed. However, when I used my RF24-70mm partly zoomed in, I was in focus. Doesn't make sense. But I really like the idea of your video.

[@faithfulcountrygirl]

Thank you! I was going nuts with the glitchy apps and not being able to set focus with the self timer. This works perfectly!!

[@KSDorina]

I'm so grateful, thank you! I was looking for the solution for a week, but couldn't find anything useful until this video. Tried your method and absolutely worked with my R10.

[@matthiaskahra]

Thank you for the tips. I will try it out right away.

[@avpguy]

Exaaaactly what I needed to find! Thank you so much for the info and the settings for the R6!

[@ricardoramirez1727]

This was so dope! I have a Canon R6 and had no idea I could do this! Great video. 👍🏽👍🏽 ups.

[@sharmenj]

This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing!

[@LynnCasey-bv3rw]

I am so excited to try this, thank you so much.!

[@StephanieDobrovat]

So helpful! Love this, Thank you!

[@jerrym8140]

Definitely gonna try this… thx for sharing

[@juanpablohurtadolopez6986]

My camera has an embedded intervelometer and it is great. This is a game changer for self portraits.

[@Zionmadsphoto]

Love this! I swear using the app and trying to take photos that way is so hard and I get frustrated. This way is so much easier!

[@joshrexford]

Ha I'm glad I was able to help!!! I used to use the self timer/app method for all the self-portraits I took and my GOODNESS is this intervalometer way faster and so much more fun 😂

[@user-ev3mp1qc2q]

this is a great idea. have to try this.

[@patricebeauty]

Excellent! Thank you so much!! God bless you.

[@pfunk360]

Excellent video. You are well versed.

[@salomeyoga]

You're transitions are so nice ! How do you do it ? 😍 Thank you 😃

[@giovisana89]

Love your tips! Im being looking for a video like this, since I just changed my camera and this r6 canon just have the 2 and 10 seconds timer , my previous camera was a dsrl with and time laps already set with your one click! But this is great!!

[@joshrexford]

Thanks so very much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼

[@andrersena]

Thanks! In Canon R8, it only works if you have not set back button focus.

[@patatipatata9726]

thanks a lot, man

[@yannaj7155]

its been pretty hard to find videos with utilizing the flip screen to assist in talking self mode photos,... a video on that would be great, as its kind of a defining factor right now for me to switch from dslr to mirrorless

[@bananachips23]

Super helpful! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@joshrexford]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-th8hx3jg1g]

Awesome! Super helpful thank you!

[@joshrexford]

So glad it was helpful!!

[@scottpollock6549]

Question, is continuous af the same thing as servo af? is servo what canon calls continuous? Great vid btw, I'm about to go do this. Once my PFP changes to myself, you'll know it's because I've finished the self photoshoot

[@joulsw3739]

What shutter speeds do you recommend? I’m thinking of things for my social media content that’s work related but I want to avoid “stuffy stilted” pics. Thanks. Great idea. No idea if my Sony bridge will be able to do this so will investigate.

[@user-he7kw9jt6b]

Hi, I'm a beginner 😆 Can I do this with the Canon D4000? Thank you

[@parinazaz4044]

I have a Sony a6000 and bene trying to take self portraits of me and my husband , but pics are out of focus .. your pictures came out great but what you just explained seems confusing .. is there a simpler way you could tell me what setting/mode my camera should be on when taking self portraits plz and thank you.

[@monadoerre5059]

I don’t know why but the autofokus is not working for me / not following me or my eye. I’m using the r6 mkii

[@9.ether_speaker]

you. are. the. shit. thank you josh.

[@chris-nj3vg]

And what if the camera (Sony A7C) does not support continuous auto-focus in self-timer?

[@user-he7kw9jt6b]

Hi, I'm a beginner 😆 Can I do this with the Canon D4000? Thank you 6:12

[@thats_mr_b_]

I have the R6 what do you think about doing this with the canon connect app versus paying for that $50 device you showed

[@timewellspent2009]

The Canon R6 has it built in to the camera. No additional equipment needed.

[@imSoNotDavid]

Anyone here a Sony user, I can't find a way to make the focus area full. I think that's the part I'm missing. Besides that, great video

[@ekvidi]

Sony is the only brand with no c-autofocus while using this function

[@weronika2340]

@@ekvidi Do you know how to set up the focus on sony to use this function and be sharp while taking a self-portrait?

[@ekvidi]

@@weronika2340 sony can't do this

[@nmwilber]

I’d love to do this but I have the 5D Mark IV - could I still do this?

[@victoryisyourportion]

Yes. You just make sure you have your focus points where they should be but it can be done

[@ypsifrog]

*(WITHOUT using a SELF-TIMER). Step One go buy an extra fancy SELF-TIMER accessory ?

[@olga159]

What lens did you used in the beach?

[@joshrexford]

a combination between the EF 35mm 1.4 and the EF 85mm 1.4!

[@user-qe6dl6nb4y]

Welll I don’t have a mirrorless camera..

[@woranat169]

This will work on Canon R50?

[@princessp6894]

does it ? i want to try

[@donnydoe98]

Pls. My sony

[@ekvidi]

My Fuji does, my Sony don't
