Each sensor has their uses. I don't get the hate that people give it.

I’m an intermediate-beginner, keeping same status for the last 4 years; throughly discouraged about my lack of progress. Last 3 days I’ve watched 20 videos x 3 of your presentations. I thought you spoke too fast and didn’t give me enough time to write down important points, upset, and so I put down my pen and reclined. Interestingly, I grew in you after first set of 20; soon hooked as your contents so very different from others. I went back and watch all 20 again and again once more, total of 60. By listening to you I grew badly needed excitement, renewed motivation and inspiration. Thank you!!

I could never seem to get good photos but I have watched around 50 of your videos and have improved soo much, thanks!

Thanks Simon. Another issue is getting your subject in focus when the subject isn't anywhere near the center or under a focus point. I use single mode, move on to said subject, focus, then reframe the shot. The thing I want in focus is, even though it's off in a corner or such.

One low light trick I use is: If the subject is fairly stable, I crank my shutter speed to a very long exposure which in turn gives the camera enough light to focus. i then bring shutter speed back to where I want it then take the pictures. I am using back button focusing so this means my focus will not change when taking the pics.

I don't get that at all. What the camera sees to focus is not dependent on shutter speed is it? The camera focuses at full open aperture in the given light, and the chosen aperture and shutter only come in at exposure. Perhaps you are talking about live view?

@@johnsmith1474 The camera does not focus at full open apperature. It can only use the light allowed in by the app/shutterspeed. It is easy to test.

amazing educational video, Thank you Simon

Excellent information Simon. Thank you!

fantastic production value on this channel :) another point that's missed by beginner photographers is the af microadjustment. if the focus seems to consistently be too far or too close and everything is done properly, check if your camera offers the option to offset the focusing distance of a particular lens. w/ the camera stable and a measuring tape pointing away from the lens, focus on a particular number, take a photo, focus on some other spot and then focus again on the same number and take another picture. after a few pictures it will become easier to tell how the camera behaves w/ that particular lens by looking at the small lines on the measuring tape, be it mm or 1/16inch...

You Sir, are absolutely fantastic teacher!! My regards to you!!

I have been enjoying all of your tips and I have made great improvements. Thanks

Great advice as always. For nighttime focusing on, for example, a static cityscape pix, I use the camera's LCD screen to manually focus. By zooming in with the LCD screen, and then manually adjusting the lens' focus, I can achieve more accurate focus than the camera's AF. Of course, this only works well for landscape.

Thanks Simon for Your advice on the focus limiter. I saw it on my lens, but had no idea, what is was good for! You pictures and videos are really amazing!

Simon, can I firstly say thank you for your excellent videos. Since switching from my Canon EOS 1DMKII which served me very well for a number of years, I bought a very low use Canon EOS 1DMKVI. I got so used to my MKII and had it set up for my style, I was struggling to be honest in fine tuning this MKIV. Your videos are a wealth of information, but with great explanation. Seeing a particular setting in action makes it very easy to understand. Ironically I had never used the back focus, but after just watching your video about it, I can really see the benefits. Your photographs are testament to your skills and understanding. Something as simple of not changing the focus points from automatic to a single or group has eradicated why my photos were pin sharp on a certain part, but slightly adrift elsewhere in the frame. I am now beginning to really enjoy this new to me camera, and realise just what potential it will give to me.

Great video as always, you da G.O.A.T. Simon!!! I wanted to add another point that took me a few motorsport events to pick up on. At higher apertures a camera will switch from phase to contrast detection. I use a Sony a9 that uses phase till f16, many will switch around f8/f11. I use an ND filter to stay at the sweet spot for my lenses (5.6-11) and keep phase detect for slow shutter pans/harsh light at motorsport events. Having phase available has helped me big time for faster subjects.

Except that at large apertures you may not have enough DOF depending on where this edge is. If you focus on an edge with the back button, then snap the focus ring a predetermined distance that subtracts the depth of the animal, as indicated by the distance scale on the lens (if you have one), you are even closer to the front. It's a rock fight!
