Master focus techniques and the perfect combination of camera settings to achieve pin-sharp images when using Sony Alpha E-Mount Cameras.
CORRECTION: The A7III can also use AF tracking when shooting in Continuous Drive mode using an aperture of f/11. At the time of making the movie I believed it was only the A9 that was OK with apertures smaller than f/8.

Mark , thank you for this video. I have been shooting Sony for 3 1/2yrs now and you are the first person to give a clear, practical and concise explanation of each of the AF settings. I have been frustrated with the erratic behavior of Sony continuous AF and the amount of times critical focus is not achieved. I was sure it was operator error and not the camera but I couldn’t find a clear guide on how to identify and correct my mistakes. I’m sure I will have to go over your video a number of times but I’m very much looking forward to shooting with this new knowledge. One piece of constructive feedback I would like to share is that it seems common place that tutorials are based around well lit scenarios. I as do many, shoot a lot in low light and as such, I would like some tips on focusing and DOF I’m very low light situations.

Mark, another outstanding video! I have been using Sony Alpha series including now full frame since 2014. You not only covered the basics for those coming into the Sony Alpha series, but also shared several things I was not aware of as well as topics I had questions about. Thank you for these excellent product videos.

Viewing this a second (maybe third) time (Jan 2024) after purchasing my new a6700. The new a6700 manual states; "...When the F-value is greater than F22 in [Continuous Shooting: Hi+], [Continuous Shooting: Hi] or [Continuous Shooting: Mid] mode, the focus is locked to the setting in the first shot." Thanks again Mark for your excellent SONY-product resources. What you do really makes a difference! I first used your ebooks with my NEX-6, then a6400, and now with my a6700.

Earlier restriction on Aperture and Focus when using Continuous Shooting have steadily been improving, first to F11 and F16 and now to F22 with the very latest cameras.

SUPERB Master Class Mark. Some teachers/clases this in depth and this much info would cost hundreds of $$. You are a true guver to provide this for free to the photo community. So much good info that even seasoned Sony shooters dont know all the nuances about the camera. This video link (and all your classes) should be a permanent link in the hard copy manual Sony provides as well as on their website for best series on how to properly use their camera. im sure the Sony help line would have much less emails and calls if they did. You;re one of the best and one of my favorite photo teachers. Great images to go along with great info. Keep up the great work Mark!!! and Thank you again for all you do

Mark, I was hesitant about watching an hour and a half video on focusing but am darn glad I did.

After watching your video the percentage of pin-sharp images jumped noticeably. Thanks!
