Using Manual Focus, AF Peaking, MF Peaking hints and tips for sharp images in mirrorless cameras

Alright so this is a simple video showing how to use AF / MF Peaking to make manual focus so much easier and get sharp images. It shows how to set it up and then many examples of when it is useful, all described in my usual no nonsense yet informative style. Perfect for users of OM Systems cameras and all other brands too!
I will happily answer polite questions so feel free to stick then in the comments.

[@HelenM1953]

Great information. Thanks for that.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@garyloader1416]

You can use Magnify in conjunction with Peaking for critical focus....

[@Wildmanrouse]

Yep

[@thomaspedersen4912]

Such a good video and love your enthusiasm - the squirrel cracked me up

[@Wildmanrouse]

Cool!!!

[@allanc803]

Don't know how but I am glad I found your channel.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Welcome aboard!

[@vkmccable]

Love your tips. Your energy is palpable. 👍🏻

[@Wildmanrouse]

Wow, thank you and glad they are of use, I intend to keep publishing regularly on here

Great, great job, Andy. A very good and comprehensive tutorial. In today's time, when people seek shorter and faster content, this is a contrasting example of how to approach a topic, and it is truly worth my time to watch it. The reason for this because this presentation using live examples and it provides a deeper understanding of the topic. Many Olympus "ambassadors" have often claimed something about topics without providing any serious explanations WHY is something good or not. Due to factors such as speed or lack of knowledge, many of them often skip that crucial "WHY" which is important for understanding any topic. Without that, it becomes a mechanical transmission of someone's "knowledge," which is not good, actually it is bad. That's why your videos are different and great, as it offers a comprehensive view. As a long-time Olympus user, I'm truly thrilled to have found this video and channel. I hope you will handle other topics (focus stacking, live view, ND filters, or something else) related to OM1 that are interesting and useful in the same way. Bravo. 👋👋👋

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thanks my friend for the awesome comments. I will mix this channel with wildlife stuff too but there will naturally be a lot of OM work in here. And I’m not an OM ambassador I just use the kit for my professional work. So appreciate your support.

[@ZOly62]

@@Wildmanrouse Yes, Andy, I understand that you not Olympus ambassador but I mention them because I want to illustrate how some of them may poorly explain certain issues despite having that title. Keep going on! 💪

[@bugbitt]

Phenomenal photos. The Dipper shots were brilliant, well done!

[@Wildmanrouse]

thanks!

[@mark1hancock]

I have my camera set up as S-AF(MF) that way the initial heavy lifting if you like is done with the auto focus and I can fine tune the focus if I want manually. No need to touch the MF clutch ring

[@Wildmanrouse]

Whatever works for you that’s great by me!

[@alecstewart9099]

Superb information as usual, delivered as only you can. Nice dipper by the way.😀

[@Wildmanrouse]

Can’t wait mate

[@yaupie]

Great Tips. I have set up focus peaking in MF and your video inspires me different scenarios using MF.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Job done then!

[@malaustwick5364]

Aye up, now then Andy, greetings from Yorkshire!....Great tips pal. I've just recently added focus peaking as an additional aid to help me out. cheers for sharing.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Good stuff! Aye.

[@Santamike212]

Thank you, good tips

[@Wildmanrouse]

Cheers

[@peterrudolf6780]

Great video and images as usual, I have set the lens function button to activate focus peeking, but not used it in anger yet! 😊

[@Wildmanrouse]

Best to have it ready just in case

[@mikemartin7890]

Wouldn't the Subject Detect, eye detection get through the grasses, etc? All your examples have a very clear eye.

[@Wildmanrouse]

It’s a method to use to allow people to get round the issue. We used it many times over the past three weeks in India. And all examples caused me issues which is why they are there. Anyone who relies on any subject detect is mistake

[@donwhite332]

Yet another highly informative and energetic presentation.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thanks again!

[@CheikoSairin]

Too bad my camera doesn't have the focus peaking because I using the old Olympus OMD EM5 mark I. Anyway, I love the tips and photos. Thanks for sharing. Big LIKE from me. Greeting from Singapore 👍🔔

[@Wildmanrouse]

Ok when you get the OM1 then you can set this up, one for the future

[@catherinetremerryn]

Tremendous photos, tips and ideas. And talking about Whippets…. I was disappointed trying to capture 38 mph Margot the Whippet S1/2500, iso 640, f2.8 - so fast and aiming at me - am I on he right track - pro cap 40-150m lens.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Far too low. Need 1/2500th plus so bump that ISO higher. I will be doing a video on that soon!!!

[@catherinetremerryn]

@@Wildmanrouse Many thanks Andy. Btw, really enjoying your book.

[@thomastuorto9929]

You must of mistaken me for someone who has stepped into the 21st century. Nope. My camera doesn’t have FP. Like your humor tho!

[@Wildmanrouse]

Sorry my friend but glad you enjoyed it!!!
