I wasn't expecting to learn much but was I surprised. Never knew AF sensors could get dirty and that the AF points in the viewfinder could be inaccurate. Will be printing the test chart and checking my cameras. Excellent.

Hi Steve, this is an excellent presentation. Judging by the ratio of likes to dislikes, it is amongst the best videos on the topic. Really appreciated your insight of the dirty AF sensor and the proper cleaning techniques.

Thanks! It's funny - on my last trip my D500 wasn't focusing very well and wasn't able to track anything. I actually thought maybe the camera was having an issue but first blew off the AF sensors. A small little dust bunny floated out of the mirror box and my AF problems were over :) And that's not the first time that little trick has worked for me.

@kennethsmith2952
@kennethsmith2952 2 года назад
Thank you Steve, and I also know that that alot of people are not getting a sharp focus because their camera's auto focus is on while using a tripod, with this, the camera will think there is something it needs to adjust just when you take a photo shot.

Thanks for this great video! Easy to understand, well paced so that notes can be taken while listening to your presentation. Biggest challenge for me with my Canon t7 has been trying to capture birds in flight. I am a newbie that is trying not to get frustrated in trying to capture them. The good news is that this is digital and I am not going through a lot of film (LOL), so the saving grace on that. Thanks

THANK YOU for this video! My Canon EOS 5D Mark IV began being unable to autofocus when the central AF point was selected and I've spent the most horrific 24 hours pretty much tearing my hair out, convulsing out of despair, and wondering what to do, as I have a planned trip coming up soon and I'm just not going with a slightly malfunctioning camera. Your advice to clean the AF sensor solved my problem and I am nearly in tears of joy at the moment. My camera got me quite emotionally unstable these past 24 hours, but I love it so.

Hi Steve, Here's another cause and solution (which I have discovered the hard way) - settings in-camera for AE-L and AF-L remain in force even if the camera is switched off. So, if your camera is not auto-focusing, take a look at your AE-L/ AF-L settings.

Although a very experienced photography I never fail to learn something new when reading your articles or watching your videos. And if your fantasic E Book "Secrets To Stunning Wildlife Photography" was a printed on paper version I'd have worn the pages out months ago I refer to it so often. Keep up the Great Work!

Thank you so much for this video! I tried everything on my mirrorless Olympus Pen EPL9. One of my lenses was working fine while the other was no longer able to autofocus, which I need for videos. I thought I broke my lens as the problem occurred after my lens was exposed to humidity during a longer trip. I don't have a cleaning mode on my camera, but I blew air inside after turning it on without the lens, as I figured this was the only way of getting in that area. The problem was solved thanks to this, really appreciate your time in making this video!!
