Hi Jac, I have Sony FX30, and I'm using AF, with Focus Mode - Continuous auto focus and AF transition speed and AF subj. shift sensitivity at 4, some how when I take moving shot, like move the camera in a diameter angle, most of the objects are a bit out of focus or a bit blurry or lack of clarity. I use aperture at 7 or 8, and wide angle, there is no person involved, but when I upload the video to computer, my eyes feel a bit unease, because Im not able to see many things properly or read properly, because it is either a bit blurry or not able to read it, and if car pass by, then it will not be clearly visible. Do you know if I need to make any further adjustment. Im using shutter speed double the size of frames per second, that is for 30 - 60 as shutter speed. please help

Absolutely stunning short video, perfectly explained almost every basic things, with short and direct vide samples! :) I actually setting my new Sony FX30, and this is by far one of the best video for Sony AS i find:) without unnecessary sentences, off topics, etc. :) Great, thanks:)

Thank you. This has been so far the best class to learn the autofocus feature in my Sony camera. God bless

Thanks for this! Definitely needed this for solo work

Useful tips!

Bravo on this video. I’ve been looking for this answer for a few years now. Now I can actually start utilizing my camera.

I really wish there was an option for Face Only AF, not just Face Priority. I really like when the focus holds when the subject leaves the frame. Great video btw!

I wonder what the best workaround for this would be. I have a button that switches from AF to MF, so perhaps that can be used as they are leaving and then turned back on when they re-enter? Perhaps we just max out the settings of subject tracking as well? Dunno.

Yet another fantastic video, Jacques.

I was wondering what handle you were using that extends over the screen to easily allow you to tap focus areas is - around timestamp 2:44 for the left hand? Thank you so much for this video - can't wait to try out these new settings with my FX3. Although I wasn't able to setup the lens hold button on my sigma to set focus while in manual mode. The Set focus would just toggle between AF/MF even though I had it wasn't set to toggle them.

thank you for understandable and detailed explanation!

Great vid as usual! Already subbed and learning lots. Much appreciate it! I had a question, whenever I’m filming 2 or more people my A7iv has a lot of difficulty keeping focus on all the individuals, people faces blur when they are in different distances from the camera. Is it increasing F-stop to get everyone into focus? This was driving me nuts. Thanks again!
