This tutorial never gets old, keep coming back over the years, keep up the good work!

This was indeed very helpful! I have been struggling for almost a week now and you solved all my problems in this one video! Thanks a lot Michael!

This is how (almost) every camera tutorial should be made. Clear instructions with a view from the camera's perspective. It was very helpful, instructive and easy to follow. Thank you

I bought the D610 camera back in 2014... I stopped using it at the Covid time and now (ten years later) feel the urge to take it up... this short video refreshed my memory instantly. Thanks for it!

Do you realize that I've spent HOURS tonight trying to figure out how to use the focal points in my camera and this is the ONLY tutorial online that answered my questions. You. Simply. Rock. :)

I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out the autofocus modes on the camera manual - you cleared it up for me in less than 9 minutes! Great Job! Thanks for the extra tips and for using examples!

Bought the D610 yesterday and want to thank you for great instructional video. Easy enough for beginners to understand!

Just purchased a D600 In 2021 and your tutorial was just what I needed. You did an excellent job and paced it perfectly. Thank you!

Great job with the overlay graphics.

Mr. Michael The Maven, you gave one of the best explanations of the focusing modes ever found on the web, and may be the best. Congratulations.

I've been searching how to do a single focal point on D610. only after i watched this video, i realized i need to press the focus mode button! Thanks, Michael! A very specific tutorial!

Hi I have the nikon d610 and I notice when I hold the buttons down I dont see any of the info at the bottom of the viewfinder as far as scrolling through afc afs or changing the clusters to d9 on info screen. I notice my auto focus is not working on my camera it must be a setting. I also want multiple focus clusters I only have 1 showing. I cant find a video that helps could someone help me?

Dude... Not many people can speak with your clarity, helped answer some nagging focus questions I had with my D7000. Good stuff!!

bro 7 years later on this video, you re a god . i ve been using only singe focus all my life, never known i can use all of these focusing points this way! completely eye opener

A thoroughly concise and well thought out explanation of just how well the D610 focuses. Your illustrations are professional and super helpful even for this longtime shooter. Thanks so much!

BEST TUTORIAL EVER! You made it so easy to follow! I've learned so much! Thank you for doing this video!

Thanks for this tutorial, I'm receiving my D600 tomorrow, and I'm so excited but so clueless at the same time. I will be watching this over a few times for sure. Great work my friend.

Thanks for the video. I've been using my d610 on single servo back-button focus for about 2 years and am only now delving into the various options. Short and simple, this video makes sense of all the options.

Thanks Michael! I just upgraded from a D3100 to a D610 yesterday and have been unable to set it on Single focus point for portraits. You saved me a lot of time.

I have been a Canon user and just bought my first Nikon. Thank you for creating this video, it's fantastic.

Great video explaining the D610 modes

I can't thank you enough.. Having jumped from the D80 to the D610 just this week, I've been so overwhelmed, I've taken hardly any photos. I couldn't focus and everything I did take was garbage.. You've explained the focus and tomorrow, I'm going out to play. You are a legend :)

Congratulations on your new D600! Its an awesome camera!

Thank you Michael for your very good guide to the Nikon D600/610 focusing system. Your explanation is concise,direct and very clear, better than the manual.

This is hands down the BEST video with explanation on focus points-super easy to understand and life changing behind the lens taking my photography to a whole new level~ thank you!!!

GREAT tips! Thank you Michael!

This video was so helpful! I am a student learning about photography and have been struggling with focus (I thought that suppose to the easy part!). I now realize what focus setting I have been shooting on and what I SHOULD have been shooting on. Thank you for putting together this information. It was very well laid out and easy to follow.

I wish to thank you Michael. I was despairing about my D610 focusing. My photography has improved so much following your tutorial. Brilliant, clear, concise and very informative. I never realised that the D610 had such sophisticated focusing. Again, thank you so much.

mike wilson Thank you Mike I appreciate it very much you have a wonderful camera it’s very powerful

Here I am in 2024 watching. Simply the most helpful and instructive video on the focus system of the D610.

Thank you so much for the mini-crash course on the focus squares! Looking forward to learning even more from the DVD.

I've watched a couple of your videos now and even thought I already knew about every function etc I must say these are the BEST videos I've found on youtube so far, congratulations! :)

Informative, concise and effective presentation.well done and thanks Michael.

Excellent teaching, Michael!

Thank You, that was very helpful in understanding all of my Nikon dslr Focusing Fundamentals on the D600, D7000 & D7500

Stunning video. Just took delivery of my D600 and was somewhat mystified moving from my EOS 500D. This video was so informative, concise and having the viewfinder graphics on screen made it really easy to follow. Thanks man!

Thank you - this now makes sense - both the AF settings and focus points and how to adjust so easily !!

Started sceptically - was positively surprised! Helpful indeed! THNX!

Excellent video. So clear and concise. You just dumbed it down amazingly. Huge Thumbs Up!

Thanks so much Michael i just recently made the big jump from a D90 to my new D600 and i couldn't focus the same way and i didn't understand why. This help a lot thanks.

Hey man I wish I watched this video before I went to an airshow today.. Great video mate. Very helpful information.

Michael, Thank you for your excellent tutorial. I have a D610. It's been sitting for almost a year and I really need some help. Your video was exceptional. Just what I needed. I'm going scenery, bird, and waterfall shooting this afternoon. In Utah, we have had record snowpack this year so the waterfalls are better than they have been in years. Thanks again. Tons appreciated. Scott

This is amazing information, thanks. My D610 just arrived and I'm going to learn it from top to bottom

Really enjoyed your video! Well organized and easy to follow. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial! In minutes it has shown me what to do when so far I have spent ages in fruitless efforts! Thank you.

Nice tutorial. I first learned how to focus on a 35mm Canon AE-1 which of course was manual focus. I got my first AF DSLR 8 years ago, it was a Nikon D90. Consumer grade and now very old technology, It served me well until yesterday when I picked up a new D610. So now I have a new learning curve to climb, so I appreciate your help!

Awesome! so easy to follow your teaching! Thankyou x

Excellent tutorial, thanks for helping me to understand it quickly!

Excellent easy to understand video !

Very clear instructions and visual aids, Michael! Thank you!

Very informative video ! sold my D7000 to upgrade to D600, this information will give me a jump start when the D600 arrive

I had D90 and now D7000 for the past 5 years and just knew about this!! found my camera on AFA Auto. Thank you very much for this tutorial

I just bought a D610 and found your tutorial to be exceptionally clear and helpful. Thank you. I may buy the whole course, but want to have a bit more time screwing up my photos first.

Thumbs up...I really love how easy to follow your tutorial especially when you simulate the view finder's interface in your video. Makes everything easy to follow. Cheers!

Very good tutorial! This is very promising for the crush course. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video! I took notes for sure!! I'm taking photos of newborns, with a f1.4 50mm, I really needed this tutorial!! Thanks again!!!

Thank you for a wonderful video. It was great to be reminded of the best way for focus for various situations. I like it that all my questions can be answered in one video. You are the bomb!

Thanks for the video, very easy to understand!!

Best focus tutorial on this camera

Thank you for such a helpful video. I just ordered my D610 this week, and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I always try to research what I buy extensively before I buy it. I'm upgrading from a D90, and I can't wait to get my hands on this Nikon product. Thank you for doing such an efficient job with explaining the newer AF settings on this camera. Keep doing what you're doing!

Thank you very much....very helpful video. Have a great day!

The most helpful video I've seen in a long time!

Sir - what a saviour you are. Many thanks for helping me trouble shoot this issue I hit today.. I totally missed the little button on the lens housing.

Great video Michael, thank you.

Your videos are so logical and informative!

Awesome video, you take your time and break things down in a very easy and understandable way. I have 3 nikon dslr cameras, the d40, the d5000 just got the d600 a few months ago, love the camera just don't know how to make full use of it yet but with your videos and teachings I am sure to be a champ at in by years end, thanks for the knowledge and keep up the very good work.

Good video, thanks Michael

Damn! This is super helpful! Michael, you're amazingly awesome! Thank you so so much! Love yoh!

Terrific tutorial thanks.

Fantastic video, great information Mike. I will save this for future use. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice and easy to follow video...thank you very much.

Good to hear! I try to make all my lessons easy to understand, you might want to check out the entire D600 Crash Course, about 3.5 hours of these kinds of lessons.

This video was very helpful! I will be buying the crash course for Nikon D610

Thank you for the video Michael, very informative, I can use this info with both my cameras D600 & D7100. Thanx again.....

I Just upgraded from d3400 to nikon d610 as getting professional so thank you for this beautiful tutorial sir

Excellent video... I was (and still am a little) struggling with the focus on my 610, the superimposed viewfinder shots were great, really helped me.... Thank you from the UK 📸

Wow. Best tutorial so far I've seen.

Great question. If its a person, Ive found that the Face Detection with no recompose works better with very shallow DOF like 1.2 or 1.4

I am a beginner yet your video made me understand it clearly. Thank you.

Really good tutorial!!

thanks so much for the video, i just bought a d7100. its my first nikon dslr and im trying to learn so many features as fast as i can and theres alot to take in!

If u have anything on the d7100 that would be awesome, thanks again Michael, really appreciate it! : )

Thank you so much for the all the tips, what a great use of time.

Thank you for this video. I'm trying to better understand how to use my 610 and this video answered and explained things very well.

thank you Michael, it is photographers like yourself who know a great deal and Share that knowledge with us for Free that helps us Grow with our own knowledge!

hello again, so I took some time today to learn my nikon d600 a little, went thru the exercise and everything seemed to work fine. even with moving the cluster around. there's a setting it needs to be on, and as I'm writing this post I can't think of it. I know at first I couldn't get it to work like most, but then went back and followed the video closely and got it. thanks again.

Wow, really helpful. Thank you.

Hey !, Just watched this again, and you know ?..........I don't think I'd ever really understood these principles, have always been a bit unsure, but thanks to this really well explained tut'....I've got it !and you know what ?.....!I don't think enough photographers bother to understand it like it's been pointed out here.... Thanks for your effort.

great video! your explanation is in great detail and illustration art works are very helpful, easy to understand

Perfect I am purchasing a Nikon610 in a few months Thanks Michael Ill be purchasing your book soon. Thanks

Thanks a lot! This helped tremendously.
