Choosing the Best Focus Area on your Sony Alpha Camera

In this tutorial I demonstrate the importance of choosing the appropriate Focus Area for the subject you are shooting. You will learn that there is no one best focus area (just the most appropriate Focus Area for your subject) and also when to choose one of the Lock-on AF Focus Area options.

I have been a working professional photographer for 29 years, using Sony Alpha exclusively for the the last 5 years. I never stop learning useful things from your videos. I consider myself pretty tech savvy, but your understanding is on a different level. It's not just the tech, you have a great eye too. Very impressive Mark!

100x better than those run-off-the-mill 5 minute tutorials from those "popular" youtubers.

I cant imagine why anyone would give a thumbs down on this video. Just perfect. Thanks Mark!

I really appreciate your willingness to help explain the ins and outs of the Sony systems in a clear and concise fashion. I also appreciate the fact you focus on education v. product promotion. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for a fantastic video! I appreciate the speed in which you speak which is slow enough that I can pick up the information and process it effectively! Keep up the amazing work!

I think this will be the first time I'm not skipping adds . Oh man this channel is a gold mine. Thanks Mark!

I have watched so many videos where people try and explain the Sony focus system and none compare to yours. You know when you are dealing with an expert on a subject when they can explain a concept so simply. Thank you for putting this video together, you have a real talent for teaching.

Always a pleasure learning from you Mark.

[johnpfeffer]

Thanks Mark... although I’ve been around the Sony systems for 5 years now, your tutorials not only tell me about features but also why some work and others don’t. My success rate has improved quite a bit since I started watching your videos. The thoroughness is exemplary. Cheers.

I’ve been a patron for almost a year now, but I seem to continue to learn every day. THANKS!

You really nail these videos. You make me feel like a student again whenever I watch them, so many insightful lessons! You've earned a new sub!

[rugsack]

Lots to learn and getting a lot closer with your excellent intro. Will check out the longer video on your website. Many thanks

I might be slow but I have to watch these clips a couple of times, taking notes.
Speeding up the video to 1.5 x is a works well for me.

[benjaminlauwick]

Thank you for all the useful info Mark. BTW that motorcycle photo is absolutely stunning. I didn't know it was even possible.
