Absolutely have to disagree with the comment about back button focusing. I am a wedding photographer and nailing focus in a constantly moving environment is essential. Back button focus is so much quicker. Maybe working with it and getting used to it is key. Also you said sometimes you half presses the shutter button several times before taking a shot. BBF eliminates the need for this.

Thank you so much for this, I'm new to photography and I've had my Canon 80D for about a month now and I realized some of my photos weren't as sharp as I wanted them to be. I thought it was just because of hand-shake/slow shutter speeds but now I've realized my focusing mode wasn't the best for the photos I was taking. You're the best.

I love how your videos are filled with so much information and don't get too much to handle. I specially like how you keep showing examples in between. I love your accent by the way. Super-cool work!

Thank you so much for referring me to this video, it was really helpful. It is the slight movement to recompose after focus when I find I lose sharpness when using shallow dof - that slight movement up or down etc

Amazing video! I loved that you made a video about the topic a lot of people’s me were asking in the comments! Makes us feel important!

THIS IS SO GOOD! This video has answered so many questions that I had. Thank you thank you!

This is exactely an issue I had yesterday with a model. We shot in available light, and I struggled with missing the autofocus. Thank you, Julia, your videos are so helpful.

Out of all the videos Ive seen, you made me understand my ONE SHOT feature a little bit more!!!

Could you do a video with multiple people? I have a hard time with the focus when it’s a family, so It would be helpful to see it just like how you did this video thank you.

This is excellent! Thank you so much for your wonderful tips. I'm an amateur photographer who is trying to improve in shooting portraits, and I appreciate your insights and reminders.

That video was so good! Thank you for continuing to put out simple, digestible content that's as enjoyable to watch as it is educational. Appreciate you!

Amazing...I love it! Greetings from Brazil...We love you job. I do the same with focus point with my 5dmk3. Thank u for the video.

I just discovered your channel and I love it ! It really helps when you mention the time of day you're out shooting along with your camera settings! Thank you!!!

Thanks for the time doing this video, great stuff. Btw, you and your sister are awesome. Good continuation. 👍

Such an amazing video!!! You’ve convinced me that I need to get the 35mm 1.4, someday when I can afford it! I loveeee all your videos! They are so helpful! Please keep them coming!❤️

Great work Julia! Very informative and your model/sister is very pretty!

You can set the 5d3 so that you don't have to press the grid to change the focus point. Touching the joystick will move the focus point directly. Much nicer for fast paced situations and saves one click. Custom Controls then last icon on bottom right, Multi-controller change from Off to AF point direct selection.

This was awesome Julia. I’m so enjoying your content since I stumbled across your channel about a month ago. Love seeing another Aussie on KZread! Awesome to see your channel growing and congrats on the creator on the rise nod! Super deserved! Playing around with a 5D3 this weekend so will put some of these tips to use 😊

I like your tip to keep a roughly constant distance from your model. I have never thought about that way. I will try it on my next shoot.
