Thank you, Brett. For some reason, the benefits of back-button AF never really registered with me until this video. When it sunk in that one mode and button can be used to achieve both continuous and one-shot behavior, that really was a “holy s*@t” moment. Thank you!

@BrettCarlsen 3 года назад

😂😂 dude. That was me! 11 years ago or whatever but same. I was like BUT WHY!? over and over then that was said and I was like ohhhhhh

@dsm363 3 года назад

Same. It never would have occurred to me but a pro changed it on my camera and explained it. Now its second nature and really a good way to go.

@sovREVERE 3 года назад

After reading these comments I'm more confused. I hold my shutter button halfway down, and it auto focuses, regardless of one shot or servo. Then I press it down all the way to take the picture. What does back button auto focus change about that same behavior? Is this beneficial for older cameras that didn't let you push the shutter button halfway down?

@charlescamp1819 3 года назад

Let me first say that I am not a pro, so treat this summary accordingly. That said, I set the shutter button up not to autofocus on half press, but ONLY to meter. Next, set up one back button for normal AF (the currently selected mode) and another for eye AF. With the camera set up this way, you press and hold the appropriate back button to autofocus while also pressing the shutter button half way to meter. 1) you can choose between eye AF and another standard mode instantaneously. 2) If you are in servo AF, just release the back button and focus is locked now (just like one-shot AF). Just press the shutter button down the rest of the way to take the shot. It takes a lot of getting used to, but it’s a game-changer. The first step is to customize the shutter button ONLY to meter - the customize buttons menu.

Brett, I've been shooting for years, and always avoided BB focus like a whimp because it was never explained in a way I could get it. Then I stumble upon your video; this is a complete game changer for me; more keepers! I can't wait to apply this on my photoshoot today! Thanks Brett.

@BrettCarlsen 3 года назад

So so glad to hear it!!! It’s so much better but agreed it’s hard to understand why

@mh7711 11 месяцев назад

@@BrettCarlsen I still try to understand, what real benefit it is.... like my other comment...

@BrettCarlsen 11 месяцев назад

For back button focus? Just separates the two functions. If shooting something stationary or in studio photography, likely not a huge benefit. Out in the world with fast moving subjects it’s nice to be able to control them separately especially in servo mode. Engaging the autofocus while tracking and then taking the pictures as you see a moment that strikes you etc.

@pilot74sparki Год назад

I have been watching so many different videos to get my R5 setup - and just shooting old school for months now - This video has blown my mind and fixed all the things I wanted it to do in one video. Great job, and thank you.

@wcsdiaries Год назад

@@BrettCarlsen what other advantage is there to leaving eye detect af and continuous af off? like it seems like more work having to always hold that button down to get eyes focused on. what am I missing?

@BrettCarlsen Год назад

Loss of control would be the downfall. But if you were a portrait photographer etc I could agree it is extraneous. But I always want to have control of when AF (among other camera settings) are engaged or disengaged.

@jiajianhou426 3 года назад

Watched so many back button AF videos, this is one that finally convinced me to use it with the R5.

@BrettCarlsen 3 года назад

That’s awesome!! I’m glad it was helpful and clearly explained. I have a tendency to ramble

@kevindiossi 3 года назад

I think the 5D Mark IV was the first time I discovered that you could set different AF modes for different buttons on the camera. Ever since then, it has been Servo for the AF-ON and the asterisk was One Shot. It's extremely helpful for setting a prefocus and accommodating sudden changes in the behavior of your subject. I legitimately can't shoot without it now...well not legitimately, but a prefer being able to exploit this on my cameras versus having to manual switch them back and forth. I've set my R5 to Auto in the servo tracking behavior menus. Case 1 couldn't keep up with my dogs eyeballs. Haha I'll be playing around with that next week.

@BrettCarlsen 3 года назад

So awesome! I’ve always done two setups too. Different way than you have but find it helps so much with speed and acquiring focus while things are flying around.

@CaptainJack63 2 года назад

🥰 I just learned how to use back button autofocus about a year ago and while it was difficult to get used to the idea and muscle memory, I found it to become second nature and it improved finding focus faster. But because the R5 has many types of autofocus I was constantly changing from Point AF to Eye AF. So I programmed the second button like you did to do Eyes. Then I said why stop there and programmed the box (3rd) button. So I have Point AF, Eye AF, and General AF. But why stop there? So I'm constantly swapping my AF-ON button with my * button. So I just programmed C1 for General work and C2 for Weddings (people). C3 is for landscapes. Now I have a crazy 9-button autofocus!

@DjePakoupe 3 года назад

@@BrettCarlsen I played with it just 1 hour yesterday. Before the R5, I used to shoot with a 5d ii. My 135 F2 L lense was very difficult to use at F2 on portrait because the focus point was almost never on the eye. With the R5, this is magic, it is just right on the eye. And the noise is just incredible. I tried 3200 yesterday and the image is soooo clean, just can not believe it compared with my 5d ii. This camera to me should be the same little revolution I experienced when I bought the 5d ii which was my first full frame camera. So yes, just in hour I can already say that this camera is super super awesome. And your AF configuration is insane!!! :)

@BrettCarlsen 3 года назад

So stoked to hear that! Totally agree with everything you say! I did an R6 full settings video. It won’t be perfect for the R5 but most everything will translate, I know there is a few other tips and tricks you’ll probably like that might be newer than the 5D II. LIke setting front dial to image jump to locked images when in playback etc.

Bro, two years late to the game, but I just followed your advice. I have always done back button auto focus (it is the way)! However, with the new people/eye detect in addition, I thought I was sold... but when I couldn't move my auto focus point around, I was like... er, this isn't for me. But, BOOM, you solved it with the custom * setting! Bro, thank YOU!

@SCU3A_S7EVE Год назад

@nicolecole2310 3 года назад

Thank you. I have always used bbf but previously on 5div was AF on servo, asterisk button for one shot. This will work for me as I want to utilize eye af but not give up standard focusing method. This is definitely the auto focus system I have been wanting for years. I've been so tired of autofocus points clustered in the center. The 5div was a huge gain in auto focus as I hadn't upgraded since original 5d, but this is supreme.

@BrettCarlsen 3 года назад

Very awesome! I think it helps out a lot. I hate having to go into menus to adjust things especially in a hurry and I also find the eye AF is amazing for those types of pictures however the traditional spot/area is better for a lot of things I do on assignment

@SwellerGibbon3 3 года назад

@@BrettCarlsen I also set it almost the same. Only issue I have is that I would like that Eye autofocus would stay on after releasing assigned custom button. I use servo and I have to sometimes choose different eye and for that I need free finger to use it on yojstick. Can you check also that out, if I'm doing something wrong? Ofcourse spot AF stays on after depressing custom button.

@BrettCarlsen 3 года назад

I believe you are correct. Though spot should disable when you release that button as well unless maybe you’re using single shot...that might continue to focus until it locks on. Possibly you could assign AF to the front button (DOF preview by lens Mount) and then you could have your thumb free to use the joystick still

@SuperMe1979 3 года назад

I have the same query. With this setup I can't select between eyes if more than one is detected. A button to toggle between spot and tracking would be ideal. I have limited the focus modes to tracking, spot and one point (for some reason one point can't be removed from the set you can select) and assigned the * button to switch between these.

@denisbellerose273 3 года назад

@@BrettCarlsen I do a lot of sports photography. I configured my Canon R5 like this. My button on the front is only for release, autofocus is on the AF-ON button and the * button is programmed to activate eye detection. Since I switched from the Canon 7D mark2 to the Canon R5 I hardly use the joystick. I use the thumb of my other hand to make a quick change for the location of my collimator in the framing using the track pad that's programmed in the lower lower left corner of my R5 cannon screen. Not easy to translate all this in google, hoping you understood, sorry I'm bad at English I'm a French speaker.

I bought it a year ago and just always go for my 5D Mark iii because, while it's less wonderful at tracking movement, when I ask it to lock on a point of focus, it actually does, where as the R6 kept popping out of focus and I didn't know why. I had competing settings which were making it impossible to lock focus when using BBF (who knew about that pesky Continuous AF option that was making my settings for AF-ON moot?!) and now with the * set for eye tracking I have the best of both worlds. I have watched other instructional videos for setting up the BBF and none of them helped fix my problem. You. Rock!

Great vid Brett! Just came across your video looking at various ways to do BBF with the R5. I just got the body today and super stoked. Been using BBF for years with Olympus though and a huge fan of it. I think I want eye AF to be my default instead of having to hold down the star, but also want a quick way to switch to spot focus since I do use that frequently as well. So I’ll probably do a mix of what you did with some minor adjustments. Still, very helpful video!!
