Thank you so much for your videos. I am an amateur photographer with a Canon DSLR - I learned so much from your videos. I love taking photos of nature and animals. Continue the great work. 🙂👍
This is why I use back button focus. It's become second nature to me if I hold the AE-L button down its in continuous focus and if I let go it's in single focus.
Hi Paul, with the Canon R6M2 and the RF 100-500MM I use the backbutton focus and the ☆-button for eyetracking. Also minimum 800/s - 1000/s shutter. For birds in flight up to 2000/s - 4000/s. For difficult situations when birds are in the busch I use the single point focus and for flight the 6 point or more. Greatings Leo
Don't forget that most cameras (including mirrorless) have a focus adjustment setting somewhere in menu. If you notice your lens is constantly misfocusing, try calibrating it. It's a lot more likely to happen with DSLR lenses than mirrorless.
Thank you so much sir. This helps me when I have the same issues. Plus it's a greater help that you show different camera brands. I have a Nikon so it was easy to adjust by your tutorial
As always a great informative video. Planning a trip down under from Ontario Canada next Christmas to visit family in Melbourne. Looking forward to shooting some pics in your beautiful country. Cheers.
I hate half press shutter button focus.. I always set up back button focus if at all possible. :). I have many cameras and when I am doing candid photos of friends or just quick snap shots of stuff I grab my lower cost canon that is all setup to work with a few different auto focus lenses .. Its quick and works decent when you are in a hurry :).. But if I am doing anything critical (Other then moving subjects) I always use manual focus and a tripod for the most sharpest I can get with the lens.. It really comes down to what you are taking pictures of :).. Thanks for sharing more tips ..
Hi Paul, I've got to say your videos are so helpful to me. When you spoke about Manual Focus in past videos they really helped me a lot. I was photographing through a fence that had an old Holden and i used AFS Focus point and couldn't understand why this stationary subject couldn't Focus. Next time i went out shooting through a fence i used Manual Focus. Your videos made a big difference in my photography. Many thanks Paul. 😊
Hi Paul i'm going to a moto GP in April in Jereth and wondered what would a good starting point be for my settings thank you in advance. ps im with nikon d3500
Excellent explanations again, Paul. You’re a born teacher. Thank you from Canada.

Hi Paul you are the best
Thank you Paul, I finally found in your videos a very good guide of how to use my Nikon, it has been in the cupboard for far too long.
Well done. Clear and concise. Looking forward to more.

Very informative video Paul!
I’ve only been shooting for a few months and your channel has been the greatest encouragement and help. Thank you!
Paul, did you do a video with dodging and burning using the luminance slider?
Excellent 😊
Thank you! Cheers!

Hello Paul, I frequently watch the photography videos and it has genuinely helped me a lot. Keep up the good work.
These are great Paul. Only just came across your videos as I just purchased a Canon DSLR camera
Hope you're having fun with the new camera, thanks for the feedback.
Excellent video - all points well explained, easy to understand, and apply. Great job!

Another very good video Paul.
Amazing sir❤
Subt...learn alot from youre video's.
Thanks for sharing them.
Well Paul, another great video, thanks
I use back button focus and ensure I keep the button depressed while shooting a moving subject.
For me, this is what makes BBF difficult to use. I find BBF useful for portraits and focus and recompose situations.
Brilliant tutorial
Thanks for sharing the useful tips Paul.
Thanks for very nice instructions
Thanks for sharing, Paul
Love all your videos.
Good content.
Appreciated
Thank you so much Paul
Love your channel. Thank you.
Thanks for the review
Nice video. Some times such vedios required to remind us what is best for different situations. 😂
Hi Paul i'm going to a moto GP in April in Jereth and wondered what would a good starting point be for my settings thank you in advance. ps im with nikon d3500
Thanks paul
Please suggest me a telescopic lens for d7500 Nikon
I use back button focus and continue to take pictures of birds in flight,but still most of the pictures are blurry, couldn't figure out why.
I notice using back button focus I am slower especially for birds in fly. I try to make bird sharp first. Is gone. Any ideas?
haven't noticed a new video in over 2 months.. hope all is well
👌
Thankyou!
