2. One Shot vs AI Servo Focussing
In this video we look at the difference between One Shot and AI Servo focussing using both the central focus point only as well as all points where the camera chooses the focus point based on the subject.
It is always handy to know which focus method to choose when shooting different subjects that are moving in various directions and at different speeds.
One Shot focussing "fixes" the focal point whereas AI Servo will track your subject but which one is better for a moving subject?

Thanks to you and Dillion. Maybe in a few years, do the same video. But have Dillion on a motorcycle ?
My recently accquired 5D Classic has just expanded it's potential. I was having some difficulty understanding Servo from the manual. All cleared up and understood now; after a 10 min. youtube video. Great !! Thanks for your upload....and thanks to the lad also.

Nick informative tutorial , good job . Please can you advice me if i want to shot in al servo mode its only important to you lock focus first time and you can just keep shutter pressed fully and camera will be automatically refocusing plus taking pics ? Also if i want to recompose a photo in Al servo mode so my subject is in corner can i focus on subject , recompose and then start taking shoots , is camera capable to take that ? Thanks alot for any replay...

Why not to shot all the pics at Al photo focus ? What if subject is still and take photos at Al focus ??? Thx

If I'm shooting a static subject, I like to see the focus point light up and hear the beep so I know focus is locked.

I think so. If you set AI Servo and then "subject tracking", you should be good. Remember to go to the AF Menu Tab - > AF5 - > Initial AF pt set for Face + Tracking and change that from AUTO to manual selection. Changing this setting allows you to place the AF area over your subject via the touchscreen which initiates subject tracking and you’ll see that the camera places a shapeshifting box around your subject and track it across the frame.

@@NickStubbs Thanks for this, I managed to get a pic of a 380 landing, think I made a mistake following it moving with the camera,
How it does affect the fact of have changed the focus button to the "asterisk" button instead of shutter button as originally was. Thanks for the video. :)

Hi Bani, this depends on the camera. For a long time, useable autofocus on DSLR video and other video cameras was all but useless. Canon rule the roost right now with their Dual Pixel Autofocus which is superb but many other cameras are now focusing (excuse the pun) their efforts on good autofocus for video. Check with the camera reviews before buying : )
Thanks
