Seriously the best explanation of the AF factors in this camera. I have been alternating between searching and stumped on how to keep the camera from taking over my point focus even in One Shot. 7:50 was a huge ah ha moment. I haven't seen that explained anywhere. I would like Canon to show this video to their technical support personnel and incorporate it into their videos. Thanks!!
Perfect video. I am curious what it is when you press SET button during focusing. Also square in square shows up, something simillar like on 10:26 timeline. Do you know what is it for ? Thank you!
I just want to say thank you for thoroughly explaining how to use the tracking/af-on functions. I KNEW the R6MII could do it, but wasn't sure how. You made it pretty plain and simple. Can't wait to go out and use it on a shoot tomorrow to see how effective my new "skills" will be lol
Michael you are awesome bro. I was so confused with the AF system and now it is so easy thanks to you. Perfect explanation. Thanks again and God bless.
I just now switched from Fujifilm to EOS R. With manual focus mode on my Fujifilm X camera, the AF-on back button can still auto-focus or prefocus, which helps a lot with landscape photography. But my R6m2 cannot do that. Maybe I did not find the right way to activate it. Do you have an idea?
Thank you so much! I had been so confused why I see my camera tracking (eyes and people in my case) but when I hit AF on, it would not jump and lock on the eye…. It was the Whole Area tracking servo AF setting. What tipped me off in your video was when you mentioned the “AF info” setting
so in order to use Eye-Detect and have it actually pick an eye and focus on it regardless of where the framing is, i need Eye Detect on (obviously) but i need SERVO selected for the shooing/focusing mode? i got the 6deuce strictly for headshots/fashion/beauty so all i really want is fast accurate eye focus and i think i have it down now. on my 5D3 and 4, i use the depth of focus button to change between one shot and servo. i shoot a lot of sports and if i need to pre-focus i can hold the DoF button and then if i shift a little bit while 'waiting' for the play, ive got the subject nailed. then while tracking the action, i can let go and go straight to servo. thanks for the information. i looked in the little book and scanned the QR code
EVERYTHING in focus: The best success is going to be focus stacking either with Photoshop or the R6 M2 can do it inside the camera. I'm not going to explain either processes. Look up other videos. If you have Photoshop, watch a few videos - the menu items for it are NOT intuitive.
The Canon “Great White” EF lenses have always had an {AF-OFF] button. I like this feature and you can add it to the camera. One issue I have had with traditional BBF is that you must press two buttons to lock focus and fire the shutter. This is a disadvantage when you want to fire off a shot very quickly. You can program the AF button for {AF-OFF]. You fire off a shot very quickly by simply pressing the Shutter. You can control when the camera focuses by pressing [AF-OFF]. This approach is also useful when you lose tracking on your desired subject. A quick tap on the [AF-OFF] will reset your AF back to the Initial AF Tracking Point(s) that you have previously defined. In other words, the camera behaves as if you just picked it up, aimed at a subject, and initially pressed the Shutter. This allows you to quickly control how the camera re-acquires your subject.
in the AF modes you are using with asterisk and the other button to the right of the asterisk, do you also do it with the r5? does the r5 also have the three AF settings?
When having the star button customized to eye detection, you hold it down to engage eye detection, do you continue holding the star button as you press the shutter? In the demonstration above, as soon as you let go of the star button, it left eye detection.
At 10:46, when it jumps out of the zone frame, that is what makes the feature completely useless. It sometimes will happen where maybe the secondary person is better lit, and even though the zone is on the primary subject, the focus will jump to the secondary person. I understand you can just map a regular focus point to another button, but there should be a setting to limit that jumping out of the zone, because you can't rely on it in the moment not to potentially jump to another person. Yes I'm salty about it! lol! Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Michael, I love the auto focusing video . But when I have it on one shot on and I focus on a subject, I get the green box and the beep then I recompose, but it doesn’t stay lock on my subject the green box moves What setting do I need to change?
You addressed your question specifically to Michael. Is that because you only want Michael to answer your question? If you actually reread what you wrote, you've already answered your question about recomposing and demonstrated how it works and the result that happens when you use it. So reread your initial question, and if you wrote it unclear, please rewrite it differently. Why? Well because it seems like you were combining two different questions/situations. 🤔
Hi there great video super informative,,,just curious about my r6mark 2 when turned off,if you shake the camera there is something thats moving inside,but when it is turn on,i cant hear anything,is it the ibis inside or anything,have you experienced it or tried it,thanks
