In this video, I talk about how I focus when I take portraits and how to quickly make adjustments when the subject turns their back to the camera!

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

Manny, I know this is 3 years old but I just purchased the Sony A7R III and this tutorial helps me out. Thank you!

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

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.

Your wife is so beautiful but also so funny. You guys are a great match. Love how your focus on multiple brands, equipment and software while providing real live perspectives. Keep it moving Bro.

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.

I love the fact that your wife is so supportive. I was just telling my girl how appreciative I am that she supports my passion. So kudos to you guys.

Thanks for sharing Manny and Diana! You guys have inspired me to go Sony! I’ve been watching your videos to help me prepare for the switch! Great work!

Manny: "Oh whats next"
Diana: "Guess"

Got the a7iii today and I asked myself this question. Manny had already answered. He's awesome!

[GRJCLyon]

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

After shooting Nikon for the past 20 years, I switched over to the Sony camera system at the beginning of April. I was playing around with my Sony A7 iii at a wedding and ran into this same issue. The camera was focusing all over the place, and I did not understand what was happening. I am already a subscriber of yours and knew somewhere on your channel you provided us with the content on this problem. I’ve changed my setting to yours, and I’m off and running. Thanks.

[jisaac]

The love you have for photography ( not just Sony) but all Art. I will continue to follow your work. I learn a lot from your videos. Just a question, can you do more Nikon ideas...lol

[toitarzanmoijane]

too late to win the programme capture one, I saw this video announced on my telephone and lost it, but I'm happy that I found it again, Thanks for these tips which must seem so elementary too you now, but soo good to us out there in the middle of thousands of youtubers each telling us how to get the best out of our sonys, stay natural manny, you are very good in what you do!!

@mannyortiz There's an easier way to do this. Set your camera to af-c and flexible spot with back button af then map the ael button to af-on plus register af (af-c plus wide). This way af-on is flexible spot and ael is af-c plus wide. No more changing af points but just 2 buttons that controls both.

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