Best AF Settings for Canon mirrorless R5 & R6 for wedding photographers!

[davidkouris]

Thanks for the no nonsense straight talk. A brief history lesson on my camera journey. I have only shot one wedding. It was 5-7 years ago by accident. A coworker's daughter was getting married and her photographer cancelled last minute with some lame excuse. She begged me just to come to the Church for a few pictures. Long story short, I pulled it off with my Canon 5DmkIV with the exception of the Bride and Groom walking down the isle. I choked on focus, shutter speed and lighting in that brief, Very Important moment. Now I have the R6 mkII. I just upgraded from The R6 which I gave to my son. I love both of these Cameras. Looking back now, I could have crushed that Wedding with either the R6 or R6mkII Hind sight is 20/20 LOL I appreciate your tips from this video I hope you have been able to add the R6 or R6mkII to your arsenal. I shot a Baby Shower a few weeks ago and the colors and results were stunning. I give all the credit to The R6 mkII

Love this idea... being able to swap to face detect with the back button could be the answer to my less than perfect focus at weddings. Thanks Tommy.

It is amazing how we can pick up small suggestion like this to be for us huge save in time. Shooting live event is stressful, there for such a suggestion is awesome for all of us... Big thank you...

Another vote for MPB, bought lots of stuff from them, have bought from others but it is great.

similar to ishangarwalphotography, I am coming from a 60D to my 1st mirrorless, an R6 MkII + adapter to run my EF lens

Tommy, your explanation is fast, clear and Thank You for dumbing it down for me to understand.

This is brilliant Tommy. Owe you one on your next trip to India :). Thank you.

[johnmarsh]

Thanks for videos, they are amazing !! I have set back button to eye detection but main capture button is in servo made instead of one shot when half pressed ? please help. Bob

[feershtagorgi]

One question, so you don't use SERVO? Is that different from single point AF? Lastly, when you take pics with couples moving towards you, you put your focus on the eye first, then keep pressing back button focus as they walking or moving?? I am confused 🥴

[bmc]

If you want to engage single point AF, do you just use the shutter button on the top of the camera ?

[nigel]

Great video Tommy I actually asked you about the eye autofocus and servo at the photography show

[smellgoodphotography]

With the change to the back button I don’t need to keep my finger on the shutter button. I can just hit the shutter all the way down

[photoquent]

We have the same settings! What brand of strap are you using?
