Heya!!! A/ Do you EVER shoot in Manual Focus?! B/ Do you back button focus or shutter button?! Comment below!

And a shutter speed of at least double the focal length of the lens if handheld. 50mm 1/100 sec, 100mm 1/200th sec etc.

Pierre - you are an excellent teacher. Focus is such a huge subject and you have simplified and explained it very logically in a few minutes. Kudos to you!!!

I have always been a manual focus lover because I started photography with my grandma’s old film cameras. When I moved to digital, it suddenly became a lot harder to do manual focus! I’m excited to try these out and I’m glad I found this video

Canon Servo af means it will still hunt after hitting record. Removing it will allow for easier live tap to focus. If you only have 1 subject moving then servo is great. If not turn it off and tap or pull to focus.

I just came across this video, and I have been searching for MONTHS on some real tips on how to keep my photos sharp because I always struggle with blurred movement. This is the FIRST video where I felt like you explained it so well that I can then use to practice. THANK YOU!

hahah the bamboo is always sharp and i'm never sharp!

This is actually one of the best video. I have seen on YouTube. People rearely talk about focus points! Am a wedding photographer so I use AF-S and AF-C.
But will have to try the tracking one.mostly because of couples dancing from one end of the hall to the other end. Thanks man this was helpful.

Back bouton focus is in AF-C is for me the best way!

[efferoconsultingabprojects]

If you use AF-C you will find that the focusing will be much faster and without any pulsing. Combine this with back button focus and you are on to a winner. I think it was Gerald Undone that showed the difference.

I think this video is made just for me hahaha love it!!

A very important tip - when using fast aperture lenses (f/2.8 and below), don't focus and recompose! Stay in place and move the focus point/box instead, otherwise you'll definitely throw your subject out of focus!

After using my Nikon for 4 years on auto and not being 100% happy with the focus my photos are now transformed by using shutter speeds of over 1/1000 sec when there is sunlight, or try the SPORT mode for a while on any subject 😄

Back button focusing has really changed my street photography, so much more shots have ended up totally focused!

[tulipvalley]

My goodnesss you answered a burning I always shoot in very low aperture and I couldn't figure out why only 1 of 4 pictures is focused correctly. I kept recalibrating my lens and couldn't figure it out...so it's because of low aperture! Thanks a million!!

[harmoncollege]

Just always stay in AF-C or AF-Servo (Canon) and use back-button focus. Then you never have to switch focus modes. Hold back-button autofocus when you need continuous or let off the button to do single shot.

I already knew all this but its refreshing to re hear it or watch. One thing I wanted to say for beginners is that learning manual mode inside and out is very beneficial and a must to learn how your camera works. Once you understand aperture, shutter, and iso its possible to know exactly what settings to use quickly just by looking at the scene with your eyes. It becomes like second nature to quickly change certain settings and be just as fast as say aperture priority.

2:54 isnt anyone gonna talk about that man in the background taking pics of him? lol

[shashwatdas]

The best GURU on the internet right now. I doubt I have missed any of your videos. Came across you a week back and since then binge-watching your videos. The flow of your videos and the delivery of content is just 10/10.

One small correction. 1:1 focus zoom is not focus peaking.
