This tutorial was just what I was looking for. Your style is straightforward and easy to understand. Great video and thanks.

[@BarryHull]

Michael, I've been a serious hobbyist for over 40 years, but as I'm sure you know, life and work often get in the way. Thank you for the best tutorial, by far, I've seen. You saved me my most valuable resource, my time. Thank you! I'll be buying your video training.

[@ChuckTipton]

Great, clear explination of AF-S, AF-C, Back Button focusing. Clear, concise training methodology. Thanks for your time!

[@luifalcon]

You are the best instructor on UA-cam I have ever heard, you go straight to the point, simple explanation, I have watched you a dozen times over the years, truly great!!

[@Overxpossed]

first time I watched it; same opinion.

[@johntraynham580]

Michael, THE BEST tutorial on the D850 I have seen, and I have watched dozens, I would go so far as to say the best tutorial I have seen on any subject! I have a Nikon background: D7000, D70s, F3 and F so I'm not a stranger, I have a degree in engineering (need I say more about what I look for in a tutorial :-). I am getting up in years, been retired over 15 years, and my memory isn't what it once was and I just got a new D850 that to me is the best , although I've only had it 1 week. My health and the pandemic have kept me inside much of the time for a few years so your tutorials are PERFECT for me! They are extremely professional, intuitive and concise. YOU have great communication skills and move at a pace that is easily understandable and know exactly which points to slow the pace, even repeat. I'm anxious to see what else you offer as I see this was produced over 3 years ago. And this all started when I searched "How do I get the single focus square back to the center on a Nikon D850"! Thank you and I wish you every success which you

[@dkmphotography_co_uk]

Genuinely MASSIVE thanks for this... I personally shoot on a GH5, but have been provided with a D850 for work & found the focussing system shocking... (until now).
Really great short tutorial. Will certainly be checking out the Full Course.

[@jayjohnson4352]

thank you for taking the time to make such a great video lesson. Game changing information. Straight forward and easy to follow.

[@luifalcon]

I’ve seen so many tutorial videos yet your style was so much easier to understand, you have a gift sir, thank you. #subscribed! Lou

[@mindsutopia]

This was exactly what I needed and straight to the point and easy to follow! Thank you so much!

[@cheecher971]

I’ve been a journalist for 30 years. Photography is always been a big part of my work. I’ve done a ton of sports, etc. I haven’t done much recently and I am renting a D850 to take my nephew, senior photos. So I thought I would get a crash course in this camera and your videos have been so amazingly helpful. Thank you so much.

[@jpaul4595]

I just purchased a D850, I have been using a D810 for years and love it. This tutorial is very well done and useful for someone new to Nikon.

[@MarceloTezza]

Another great video Michael!
A73 was launched!
Thanks for your work!

[@blueridgepics]

This video is immensely helpful. The D850 owners manual probably lists these features but the descriptions do not mean much unless you understand what they are for. Thank you, Michael for unlocking several mysteries pertaining to focusing with this camera.

[@paulchandler420]

Excellent and, yes, your teaching style is very intuitive and logical. Thank you

[@greyhoundrick5568]

Hi Michael, I wanted to complement you on your video instruction. You are extremely professional, concise, have great communication skills and move at a pace that is easily understandable. Thank you for these UA-cam videos and I look forward to purchasing your courses. Best to you, Rick

[@telephonecamp]

There are many videos out there that talk about the Nikon D850. I have found that I rely on 3 of them and this is 4th and one of the best. I have learned more about focusing my D850 in the last 13 minutes than I did in over hours of other videos. This is well done and I plan on reviewing more of your videos and possibly buying products that you support or put out for purchase. Thank you.

[@MMaven]

Thank you for your support Paul!

[@fitnesslikeaburch5810]

Great info! Thank you so much for taking time to teach the new people.

[@rafaelsmachado25]

Man, this was really good. Very objective and well made video. Thanks a lot!

[@nickcollins9403]

Fantastic video! I really appreciate the method of instruction! So excited to learn more about my new (used) D850

[@nadams61]

I shoot Canon for my personal work, but I just got a job with all Nikon equipment, so I am learning the equipment. This is exactly what I needed.

[@CaptPaulH]

Well done Michael finally clear precise instruction that really works, thank you!!

[@crissignori7482]

Really nicely done ... clear, concise and straight to the point. You must be a public classroom teacher.

[@71whitey]

I really enjoyed this, mate. I will be getting your D850 course in a couple of weeks. Easy to follow (even for me) and made sense.

[@dav1447]

Paul, what is your impression of the course? I like his teaching style, but if I pay $50 for a downloaded course, it'd better be something I can use in place of/addition to the free UA-cam videos available

[@vaughanpuccinelli6454]

Great tuition style and informative, thanks Michael.

[@Jack_Danyo]

Thank you Michael, very helpful! I bought your d7200 video course 2 years ago, excellent course.
Ill be looking into getting the d850 sometime in the future.

[@jordandarden]

This was a great informative video. Like the language and visual demonstrations - very helpful!

[@spudleymonkey]

[@MMaven]

Thank you for your support Dan!

[@Louiegonzalez85]

I've had my D850 for a few days now and today I discovered the AF/M switch was also a button and finally I knew how to switch from AF S to AF C.; silly me lol. This video finally shows me how to change the focus points. Thanks!

[@davidmorgan9625]

[@jemgateru]

Michael, you are a life savior, I was having a problem, my focus point was stuck to the top right corner and could not move with the joystick, I have watched your tutorial and no I am all sorted.

[@nashabsaham7942]

[@riccardotroia4607]

[@ivayloyordanov3312]

thanks for the video first ,i would like to ask cuz im doing portraits photos ,this a7 on the shooting menu which one we have to choose like u said. focus point only or focus point and AF-area mode .thanks again ,great video

[@lettebunuel]

I bought your dvd. Simply brilliant. Can you recommend something as perfect for the Nikon F6, hopefully by you?

[@georgeblank84]

great video

[@omegaman1409]

Amazing but you showed me two tips that I didn’t know and I have been into this for years.

[@GirdHerd]

Michael, You solved my problem. I like shooting with the single focusing square but noticed for some reason I could no longer move it around. Come to find out I had accidentally moved my directional pad switch to L. I unlocked it and can now move the focusing square around again. Thanks.

[@Jrockhtx]

Great video

[@BruceDAllan]

Well done!

[@maithamali3003]

Thanks to you 🌺 شكرا جزيلاً

[@achelseaphotographer]

Helpful! Thank you...

[@Raw-AT]

Thanks for some great tips. Would like to know which option you select in a7(Store by orientation).

[@izziemila3904]

Hello, thank you very much for all the explanations ! I am shooting textures as walls or grounds, but ending with blurry corners most of the time. Do you (or anyone reading this) know how to avoid that, which settings using please ?

[@galtidea]

Great video thank you. Question: if I have the focus system set to continuous and 25 point, won’t it get over ridden when I use back button focus that’s been preset to single point? Do I need to change the shutter release button to act as the focusing instrument if I need let’s say 3-D or that 25 point? Thanks again

[@hajela1]

Thanks a lot...really helpful :-)

[@miguelangelfloresduarte7179]

thank you very much Michael for sharing, what kind of focus you can recomend me for a take a group of 200 persons ?

[@SofyaBarth]

Thank you great video. I have one question on the menu Autofococus - A7 which one do I want to select the focus point or focus point and AF?

[@francisxavier6397]

thanks michael

[@gasgaslex_photos]

Top video again. More Nikon products please 😃

[@eastwind3550]
