Finally I understand how to use it after having A7Riii for a year.. I never understood what the last Tracking focus was and the Eye focus button is golden

Amazing info! Appreciate you taking the time to put this together, especially including the examples of how the different settings function in practice.

Simply the best Sony AF tutorial on YT! Thanks.

Thank you for helping me to realize the magic of flare in my shots!

great explanation on the focus modes. THANKS!!!!!

I really needed this. Thank you!!!

Fantastic video! Most thorough and complete explanation of the Sony focus system I’ve seen to date.

very clear and well made with live practical examples. Thank you

This is the best video on autofocus in photo mode i have seen! very well planned movements

Thanks for explaining all the AF eye tracking / face tracking modes to me! Super helpful as I just purchased the a new Sony Alpha 4 camera! So excited to shoot some good portraits soon!

This is one of the clearest explanations of the focus system on the Sony. Good Job! Thanks.

Thank you for helping understand how to use this feature correctly!!

What a great video! This explains the autofocus system in a superb way! Thanks!

This is, by far, the BEST AF video I've watched and learned for my Sony. Thanks a bunch, Magic! Explanations, and definitely the AF Demos, are highly noteworthy!

Best video I have seen on how the Sony a7iv autofocus system work. Thanks for that video.

Great video with tons of super useful advice, even for non wedding photographers!

5 last minutes of this videos is golden!!! Thank you so much for such a great masterclass

The most comprehensive video that I’ve watched about autofocus, thank you! And what a pretty couple :)

This was amazing dang. Thank you !

Very great video explaining Sony Autofocus modes

Magic I have watched this now 4 times … you are so helpful. Thank you so much ❤😊

Watched like 10 videos on this topic before this one and finally this video covered what i was looking for in the clearest way to understand. Hands down the best video on this topic !

Great video. Just the information that I have been looking for! 😊

Excellent info sir! Well done, very straightforward content!

As a beginner, I have been struggling a lot with my focus settings - your video changed everything for me! I practiced along and changing menu settings throughout the video, and finally feel like I can go out and get more accuracy with my shots. Thanks for putting this together, the real life examples made all the difference for truly understanding how each focus mode is unique.

Just bought the a7 iv. Binge watching your videos because your explanations are so clear and helpful.!

I tought I know almost everything about focus, but you managed to surprise me with a lot of new stuff. All the best for you, thanks!

This is the very best video on this subject. I have watched numerous other people try explain this and not many are able to convey how this works properly. Thanks to you, I now fully understand how AF works on my A7IV.

Thanks for the most excellent presentation on how to get the most out of the Sony autofocus system!!!!

Thanks Maciej! This video was very helpful. I will be experimenting with my own camera and focus settings. Even though focus settings might be a bit different, the principles are similar.

Great examples of AF area to really take control of the eye af.

Literally just received my a7IV and setting it up! Thank you!

What a great video explaining the differences in Sony Autofocus modes! The last thing you discussed that was your favorite - the tracking AF has been around in Nikon DSLRs for more than a decade. It’s called 3D tracking mode. Recently they reintroduced it in the Nikon z9.

the tutorials are very helpful. especially because you use models as examples to illustrate the menus. thank you and much appreciated

An unbelievably helpful overview combined with your insight on what you are using personally. This is such a clear explanation of a very complex and powerful system. It has helped me massively and has caused me to rethink how I will set things up for my next shoot...which will not be a wedding but which will be helped a lot by this video. Many, many thanks.

Great video, I would usually tap to track a subject, but using a the centre spot is more intuitive, being similar to the old focus and recompose method, so I’m going to be using that more

Thank u so much for sharing!!! Great use for this argentinian.

Great video!! Appreciate you educating us in such a nice way with all the real life examples! Have a great day!

Thank you! You too!

Such a useful video! Yup, that last mode is the only one for me. I am used to far more ancient technology cameras (Leica M rangefinder and X2D) where "focus and recompose" is basically the only option that you have, and the spot with full-frame tracking is aboslutely perfect for a consistent experience from those camera to the Sony R4, of course with the Sony able to keep your subject in focus whatever they do after locking on them. You explanation of what all the other modes mean is really helpful as well. Thanks!

Awesome video! Loved how you broke every single mode and option logically. There’s a lot of redundancies in the camera which can confuse a new user. Breaking it down logically really helps to understand how things really work.

Love this video. One area I'd appreciate more time on is the tracking options. One specific set of questions is what to turn off in that menu. For example, I've turned of everything except Spot and Spot Tracking. Would love you to overview that dialog box, and why you might only want one selected, or more. Keep up the great work!

Do you have a video on how you set your buttons? And how you use them in a wedding situation.

Very good video. Thanks !

Thank you for making this video.

Amaxing video thank you

Thanks for such a precise tutorial

I’ve set my eye af to the custom button on the lens.Thank you for these great videos.👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent explanation. I confess I was stuck on Single Shot for 2 years and probably because I mostly shoot landscape photos. I didn't realize how important it was to change focus mode when shooting people (group/portraits). Also switching to TrackingFlexibleSpot while I have been always on FlexibleSpotM. Last regret, never used AEL button which I set initially on EyeAF and forgot! Stupid me!

Fantastic video! Very helpful and thorough!

Thanks for this. I just jumped ship to Sony and have been a little overwhelmed with the new AF system. This will help alot

Such a helpful video man, thank you!, Great examples of AF area to really take control of the eye af.

Man!!! This is the best video, the breakdown of each thing was great. Now I have a better understanding, you answered all my questions. I have a better understanding. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you, this was really helpful 😊

Your videos rock, man! Subbed 👊🏻

Great, thank you!

What another fantastic video bro, really awesome thanks so much. I'm going to implement some of these in my next wedding:).

Thank you!

After 30 years of Nikon (& others), I moved completely to Sony at the initial launch of the A7R and finally, thanks to you, I now fully understand ALL the AF settings and modes 😄

Thanks for this video- I’m awaiting my Sony A7IV after deciding to switch from Fujifilm to Sony. Very excited to use it for weddings, alongside another Sony (TBC) and my Leica Q2.

Great video Magic - thank you helped me with IV and 1 and son who has III

Well I'll be da*ned!! I have a A7III and A7IV and had not idea this "tracking" option was available. LOVE IT! Thank you so much for this information. I do portraits and this should REALLY help me get more shots in focus!!!

I love your videos! and I love how you say 'camera will stick' 😁

Thanks! helpful

I am still using center point focus with tracking on A7C (a6600 before), because without joystick is faster to get lock on target and recompose than to use others buttons to point out focus point.

wow thanks man this is so helpful

Thanks for this. Subscribed.

Wow i was using spot focus small area but now I will switch to tracking .

Great tutorial! Well done

thank you so much...my bro

Hi there, Magic! How are you today? I'm from Brazil and I am a wedding photographer. I am a happy owner of a A7 IV since yesterday and I came across this video! It is a real game changer! I owned a EOS R6 and I have to say, althoug it was really good, that A7 IV is awesome! Your video just saved my life! I thank you and wish you happiness, much work and success, from the bottom of my heart! God bless!

After 40 years with Nikon I switched to Sony. RTT with Eye-AF is a big improvement. Currently using it with A6600 and A7C. My A7IV will arrive this week. Here it seems RTT is again improved.

Super Video. Really good Job.!!!! Now I understand the focus of my sony a7vi perfect. Thank you very much.

This was awesome!!!

You've well earned a sub and share. Thank you so much.

WOW, thanks for sharing this, I'm doing my very first wedding shoot in a few months using the A7IV and learned soooo much from this demonstration, you are AWESOME and 100% earned a new sub!!

good morning Magic Many thanks for the various u tube videos explaining in detail on the sony A7iv. lately am having a problem. am not seeing the little green focus box. what could have I done wrong please thank you charlie

Randomly came across this video and I have to say that was incredibly well done. Can't tell you how many videos I've watched that have talked about focusing with the Sony systems. Not a single one of them did anywhere near as good of a job as you did explaining it. You're examples also made a ton of sense and really helped to drive home the concepts you were explaining. I subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to see some of your other videos.

Funny, I was about to write the same review basically as you. Definitely subscribed as well. Cheers!

As someone who is use to using single point, single shot and recompose with Fuji. This was super helpful!!! To me it is like having single shot and continuous with tracking all in one! I set the eye af on the back like you and man!!! In a pinch to grab the closest eye mmmuuuwwaaaa perfection 👌. But again tho it still works like single shot when I am going for artistic grab the background blur the client thing ;) duuuudddeee!!! Again thanks a ton 🙌.

it's very helpful,I really appreciated to these guide.

Any thoughts on back button focus? Maybe you can do a video just on eye/face focus best practices?

Thank you thank you thank you

Appreciated the video. Do i have to keep on pressing Eye AF custom button untill i press shutter button ? And what if i have AF-on while pressing half-shutter button when applying eye af ? Thank you.

Great tutorial just one thing in weddings how do I get two and more people in focus together do I raise my aperture from 2.8 to higher

Tnx very helpful

Awesome video! What do you usually use for group photos? I would assume zone?

Очень подробно и понятно. Спасибо большое!

Thanks so much for sharing
