The A6000’s have great autofocus features, something I miss so much when I got the A7II. Can’t wait to get the A7III

@stevesvanderpool8653 5 лет назад

I first had the A7II as well. It's night and day difference with A7III autofocus. There is eyeaf on A7II if you map it to a button. I didn't know that for the longest.

@oneleggedlifter7660 5 лет назад

@@stevesvanderpool8653 is that really? I've got the A7ii and the camera store told me it does have eye af, i have tried to set it to a button but i can't select it, it always says it does not work with this lens, and i have tried multiple lenses

Thanks for adding that BTS part at the end. It's nice knowing that things aren't all seamless and peachy when making a video and that you have to do multiple takes to get things right, and also to have fun with it.

@BigBaoSmallBao 5 лет назад

@mannyortiz There's an easier way to do this. Set your camera to af-c and flexible spot with back button af then map the ael button to af-on plus register af (af-c plus wide). This way af-on is flexible spot and ael is af-c plus wide. No more changing af points but just 2 buttons that controls both.

@lougravessr1215 2 года назад

After shooting Nikon for the past 20 years, I switched over to the Sony camera system at the beginning of April. I was playing around with my Sony A7 iii at a wedding and ran into this same issue. The camera was focusing all over the place, and I did not understand what was happening. I am already a subscriber of yours and knew somewhere on your channel you provided us with the content on this problem. I’ve changed my setting to yours, and I’m off and running. Thanks.

@Ssdake 5 лет назад

Its probably hard when Manny shoots Sony. Dont wanna sound like negative whining asshole but id suggest you to get learn how your camera works and get used to it. I shoot with Nikon d7200 and man, i wish the body could do more, since i love to shoot in low light (alot in the night time) and the 1 stop from more from fullframe sensor would give me so much more. Cant afford better camera atm so got to work with that!

@mattreyes79 5 лет назад

This is actually a great tip. I’ve had some issues in low light conditions losing the eye and I lose all focus on the area I want to focus on because of that WIDE setting. I’ll have to try this out. Looks like it will help me at least move to the area I want to focus on rather than depending on the camera and waiting on it to decide. Thanks Manny. Appreciate the tip. - #ShootDopePics

@basilclunie8047 5 лет назад

Glad you 'read out' the difference in using flexible spot rather than wide for shots where the eye is not in view. Few have noted that the little boxes are actually focusing on the nearest point; actually, answering this question was important for us who have the tracking focus in one camera, but not in the A7 III (Sorry, Diana.)

@frederickbrownHWTB 4 года назад

@bobbybluephotography1285 5 лет назад

Great video Manny. I usually turn off the center lock on focus and use the touch focus function which gives me a flexible spot to work with. I then just have to cancel the flexible spot by pressing the center button and takes me back to the wide focus mode which is set as the default option. This works really well, even better than using the joystick especially when using the viewfinder. To me, this is faster than changing from wide to flexible spot and then back again.

@CMJewels19 5 лет назад
