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?

    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...

    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.

    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 : )
