How I Make Autofocus Work in My Photography

Autofocus is a powerful tool that in many instances, can make a photograph possible otherwise that might not be. Unfortunately, this power tool is misunderstood or misapplied in some small way so it's not helping to its fullest the photographic situation. There are many variables in the Autofocus equation, autofocus mode, their settings, and what it requires to operate to being with. What I have here are the modes I use, the settings, and how I apply Autofocus. I hope this helps you use this great tool to its fullest in your photography!

Have been using the D6 for 6 months now. Keeper rate for action shots has vastly improved over the D5. Will upgrade the firmware from 1.30 to 1.31 now that your video has finished. Cheers from Australia.

I liked the letter box options in the D6 - it is a shame these are not yet available in the Z9

Heat shimmer is worse in the winter time in my opinion especially on a really cold morning after the sun rises

A fine video. I am hoping to use my Z6ii a lot more soon with COVID-19 restrictions easing. Old but careful.

Great set of advice Moose. I am a Canon shooter but nevertheless the advice and concepts you included are just as relevant. Thanks you !

Another great video Moose - thank you! Any quick tips or advice on fine tuning your focus for a particular lens ( i.e. if a lens is consistently back-focusing)?
