I've had BBF explained to me so many times over the years and its usefulness just never clicked. Now I see that it's the decoupling of the shutter butter from the half press focus that's the key. Great info, thanks Pierre!

I really enjoy back button focusing! I come from the days of 35mm cameras, even when manual focus only was still the norm. When I moved to auto focus it annoyed me that even in single shot autofocus I had to hold the shutter button down halfway to recompose, or the camera would refocus when I pressed the shutter button again. With back button focus I can focus on what I want, then recompose, then when I press the shutter button to exposure, it’s not going to refocus again. And it is handy to have the camera set to continuous autofocus, and use the back button to briefly focused, more like single shot, or to hold it down for quick continuous focusing! Since hearing my Canon Elan 7e would do it, I’ve setup back button focus on all my SLR/DSLR/Mirrorless cameras!

@pigpogm 29 дней назад

This is the way. Very similar to how I have my camera set up at the moment, but with two back focus buttons - one for small point focus, and one for face/eye detect. I then have the big 'joystick' button set to ditch all my 'arty' settings, and just take photos in full auto, as fast as it can. It's the 'oh shit' button for when something happens I wasn't prepared for. No time to be fancy, just get the shot.

I really liked this technique. I stopped the video and tried it on my camera. I have 16-300mm Tamron lens with image stabilization. The image stabilization didn’t work when I turned off auto focus with shutter. At high zoom the image was shaking too much for autofocus to work. I ended up activating autofocus with shutter and programming a button to quickly change the aufocus mode

Hi Pierre. Thsnk you for this video. Can I ask what your default AF settings are for “Priority Set in AF-C”? AF, Release, or Balanced Emphasis? Also, what do you keep your “AF Tracking Sensitivity” set to most often? 1-5?

@skallittor5478 28 дней назад

@VR_Wizard 20 дней назад

On Sony A7iii i have one button for eye AF and another for holding focus. For me thats the better setup because most times i am fine with continious focus. I also use the tap on schreen to set the flexibal spot and then use C-AF with that spot.

@scannorse 6 дней назад

Exactly !

@CC-gt3ro 23 часа назад

There is rarely told information that in low light condition with AF-S, the camera use the biggest aperture to focus and then come back to your selected aperture. For example if you use f4 but your camera can do f2.8, it will use f2.8 to focus but take the photo at f4. It does not do that in AF-C it will try to focus at f4 which can fail in low light condition. But i believe all people will use their f2.8 in low light but it is a minor detail.

@iamphotovideoist 29 дней назад

Don't forget, Af-S activates the Oncamera light assist (if it has one) to focus on Lowlight. Its perfect to use for portait or any subject that is still on a lowlight situation (like a club/bar or anything lowlight).

@anastasianingsihm9562 29 дней назад

@itltl 24 дня назад

I have it setup kindof reverse. Half press for af-c. AF-ON assign to focus hold to simulate AFS after half press shuttle. Though still need to train my muscle memory for this. Need the shuttle to focus when using the camera to do selfie.

@momobackpacker 26 дней назад

@lexbraxman9270 29 дней назад

For the customized AF ON tracking, I have to use Tracking ON + AF On. Otherwise the green square doesn't appear when I hold down the BBF in AF-C. I'm not sure if what I'm doing is different than you. A6700

@bigpapa12 29 дней назад

An alternative I find more useful is to use AFC with a programmable button such as the lens button set to Focus Hold to recompose.

@falseusername 29 дней назад

One tip about how handy to set subject detection on button. It ignores your focus point, and search subject in all angle of view. It's very usefull, when you usually have small point as focus area and want, for example, to focus on human, that's in some side of the frame. Moving focus point? Nope, just press a button, and you're perfectly focused.

@Pierretlambert 4 дня назад

That's one downside with APS-C, smaller body means less space for customizable buttons. You might be able to get the same setup using the AEL button but I can't remember if it works the same

That's correct you have to hold it down that's the advantage! Hold it = AF-C. Release = nothing changes = AF-S.

Nothing. Maybe that "cheap camera" is still out of their budget. Unless they have lots of cash to spare but they really just don't want you to pursue photography, then there are tons of things I wanna say to them. But if they really just don't have the capacity, maybe you just need to save up to be able to buy one for yourself. 😊

@Pierretlambert 27 дней назад

I would share with her why the ART of creating is important to you and how a camera allows you to focus on just creating. Being on a phone means seeing notifications, calls, messages, friends, social media, being sucked in that vortex rather than being present with what is around you. Ask her if she can help you with that process, make her your ally.

@wayneholmes637 7 дней назад

It isn't. It is very practical and for many subjects far better than letting the camera decide what to do all the time.

@PavelR2 4 дня назад

@@wayneholmes637 It is, because modern cameras do not miss focus with AF+C; do have AF coverage which makes obsolete also focus & recompose (+ recompose can easily shift focus plane and make subject OOF, which I think only some MF cameras compensate for this). + if you hold big lens then thumb need to hold the body steady not to fiddle with small button during shooting. (I was using shutter + focus also on DSLR, because it work flawlessly on Canon 1 series.)

@Pierretlambert 4 дня назад

Interesting! Can you tell me more why you think the focus / recompose isn't as helpful anymore? I do find the cameras still miss personally even in AF-C and it gets worse when several subjects in a frame. That said in tracking af-c I see how you can focus recompose without the bbf

@SingleTrack66 4 дня назад

@@PavelR2 your point about needing your thumb to hold the camera steady is mute when using Nikon, the ergonomics are perfect. I use bbf without even thinking about it, it’s totally natural and the thing to do. First pressure finger is AE lock. I also have the red record button set up to cycle through my three most used focus modes and very quickly switch according to the need.

@kappafleo 29 дней назад

@ACitizenOfOurWorld 8 дней назад

Maybe, but then you HAVE to keep your finger half pressed on the shutter button until you're ready to fully press to release the shutter. Can get a finger cramp if you're waiting for just the right moment to snap the picture.

@SingleTrack66 7 дней назад

You didn’t really follow the video did you

@iaindunbar2331 28 дней назад

Just move the AF point in continuous focus? Then there is no bonus to using bbf. Getting ‘sharper images’ or being able to focus better with bbf is a myth.

@Pierretlambert 27 дней назад

moving the AF point to avoid shoot / recompose is actually super slow and if by chance you have AF-C with tracking everytime you release your shutter you may lock on a different subject - at least happens to me.

@beholder2012 7 дней назад

Ditto. The whole point of BBF is that probably for some people it may be (for the reason unknown to me) more comfortable way of focusing, although the end result… will be the same! 🤣 What COULD be useful: if there would be ability to set that „back button” with any selected method of focusing and making it override the default button. Such way I could use „Single Shot” on the default button - while in case of need overriding it with AF-C set on the back button (without operating any switch). That would be really useful - unfortunately, none of my cameras (and I collected quite a few) allows this.

@benjprilles25 29 дней назад

@PracticingPhotography 15 дней назад

@marcelbecker6399 29 дней назад

Bro, thats the most complicated way of focusing. Simply use AF-C and set the reaction to 1 (1of5). Than pin your subject with the small square and the focus will stick forever

@rnrnrkrk994 29 дней назад

I dont think thats the point of doing this. This allows you to unfocus for creative reason with BBF and switch to AFC fast when needed.

@pasky7777 27 дней назад

That doesn’t work all the time. If all you do is studio shoots, lucky you. Being out there with objects moving all the time, nature photography; you will be in complete trouble with AF-C only. Try what he said, you will love it. I could enjoy and do photography without this technique.
