Very informative. Simple. Straight to the point (not much unnecessary vloging). And fast talking. Love it. 👍 👍

AF-S is good for focus and recompose type of shots, also keep in mind that focusing in the center of the lens produce the best results, the edges are not that perfect.

[bethanydavison]

I've been using mostly AF-S mode. I'm trying to learn how to take photos more manually, as well as straighten my horizon. Your videos have been helping. I just got my first Digital SLR a few weeks ago. I got a really good deal from an elder man, and he gave me an even better deal because I told him I was planning on taking courses. Super kind gentleman. Thank you for sharing your tips with us. 😊

I’ve just got a Sony a600 camera, And I’m finding your videos invaluable in the learning process!
Please keep up the good work!!!

Thank you very much for this short and sweet video...


I am learning photography and I was invited to a graduation and I had a really bad time trying to get moving people in focus, before watching this video I was thinking that my mistake was using a low ISO and a slow shutter speed (I changed that later even if high ISO would introduce noise but at least I was using 1/60 shutter speed for most people and I even set it higher in some occasions)...


But right now that I watched this little yet simple explanation of the focus modes I discover another big mistake I did... I use a Canon EOS M5 and I deactivate the SERVO option which is the focus mode for moving objects (besides the continuous focus in the main setting) and that is why I was struggling with people moving and getting blurry (yes... I was trying to 1-Point focus all the time with my finger, for the time I had everything tweaked people just moved)....


I test a little bit with that and that improves the shoots a lot (moving conditions of course).

Hi Benjamin, your Videos are so very helpful, and i want to say you are the best youtuber ever 'cooler, simpatic and very modern. Congratiolations 👍📸

[IVAN]

Just found you and been watching a bunch of your videos since I have Sony a6000 but never knew how to properly use it

[TheDannyberrios]

Can you please make a video for night photography 😁

[hollywilliamson]

Hi Benjamin, taking my first photography class and I watch your videos for supplemental lessons. Your videos are great - clearly explained topics and easy to adapt to my own camera.Thanks!

[drakejosh]

10/10 for the explanation. Easy to grasp for a beginner like me. Cant wait for my a6000 to arrive. Keep up the good job!

I just bought my cannon T6 Rebel Eos last month. I just missed up on my focus and you just help me solve my problem thanks

[bellam]

Hello Benjamin! I just bought my first ever camera (sony a5100) and I always watch your videos for beginners like me in photography. They are all very helpful and easy to understand! Thank you so much! ❤️

[ianmatthews]

These videos are fantastic, I've learned so much in such little time from them! Ben is great at breaking things down and describing in simple terms, and the examples are especially helpful! Cheers ben

[heikemswutakesapic]

Hey Ben, thx a lot for this video....
I really love taking pics with my @6000 in combination with the sony1.8OSS... I use the AF-S and Single Spot at the most times...
Greetings from the north of Germany.... 😊

DMF with the adjustable focus centre for static objects. C1 button set to bring up the adjustment setting. It took a long time to figure the C1 setting out. It enables you to keep on looking and readjust this focuspoint. Or.. for moving objects like lemons😬 or birds bees and other animals AF-C with shutter release activation. With adjustable focus centre

[alinaanna]

please make more videos like this ! I am a beginner, about to buy a a6000 and this video and the one explaining different camera modes is SOO helpful. So easy to understand !

[YoungDen]

DMF is a thing of beauty once you get the hang of it.

[theetheofanie]

Hi Ben, thankyou so much. I love your youtube channel. I'm learning a lot! From Indonesia with love 😁😘

[nandakabembot]

Since I learned manual focus, I always use MF. I like to be in control of what to focus. Thanks for the video, very nicely explained!

[esormaj]

Point focus is definitely my favorite... af-s. I like that I take a photo and people are directed to where I want them in the photo. It is just fun.
