Great tutorial showing the versatility of autofocus options and focus points. I tried back button focus but just couldn't get on with it. Whatever you are most comfortable with is best for you.
Amazing content from Arthur Morris. thank you!
This video will serve as an excellent reference during my practice sessions. Thank you.
You are amazing:-) Simple and sweet!
Very Great video
Just trying to figure out if you use A+, av, tv, p or just what setting you started with on your great turiorial..
Great video. Do you have another video to discuss Av, Tv or Manual for taking flight pictures?
Thanks
which camera should i buy 80d or 70d or 60d
Hi, thanks for video. My query is , When we are using back button focusing, does it matter whether its on one shot, AI servo? I mean to say even if i want to shoot moving subject i can keep back button pressed and track the subject. so in doing so could camera be on one shot, AI servo?
Just today I started using my 7D MK2 (upgrading from T4i/650D)…long way to go to learning this amazing camera. Thanks Arthur for this video. I was using the BB focusing on T4i so hopefully the transition to the new features will not be as difficult.
Helo, what the best AI servo settings (case 1 to 6) on 7d mark II for Bird hut photography or I use best one shot or AI focus ?
I'll come back to this video after watching the AI Servo for dummies first. I am trying to get better 'baby wont stay still' photos with my T6i
Thank for this informative video!
Great stuff Arthur!
which is the best for bird photography ? traipod or monopod
When auto focusing on my 60D using viewfinder picture is not nearly as sharp as with live view using LCD!
Had a really hard time taking pictures of birds with a 6D and a 400mm!
Hi Tangente. The camera being used in the video is the EOS 7D Mark II.
is that Canon 5Dmkiii he is using?!!
very good advice and tuiton , i use back button for my sport photography ,
Hello Sir, at the end of your video you say that after eight or so years you have reverted to using the single shutter button for both metering and focusing in ai servo, when shooting birds in flight. After you mastered the back button focusing I'm curious to know why ? 🙂 I have just bought a 7D MK2 and am still getting to grips with it. One thing I have noticed is the shutter button seems to be quite "trigger happy" I often take shots whilst trying to focus. I had therefore decided to switch to back button focusing to avoid this. Thanks. Martin.
Thanks for the nice tutorial sir…. i have a canon 70D and not 7D … will it affect the vividness and vibrancy of the different colors on the same bird?…thanks
Thanks for the Great tutorials.
When configuring Back Button AF, what's the advantage to changing the * (Originally AE Lock) to Metering and AF Start when the AF-On button already accomplishes this?
I would like to see more videos from Mr. Morris;Very informative and alot sumed up in a short time .. Thank You…
Artie, my wife and I share a passion for photography in our retirement. Birds are my wife's passion and we have watched each of your videos several times. Thanks for a great series. Casey
really love what canon is bringing to the table in terms of top quality glass as well as top quality equipment …. i did a test in which i got a nikon D5100 and tested it out for a few months then i purchased a canon t3i and started using it and i really love the canon gear. Currently i have a limited budget but working my way up to getting the 7D mark II and a canon 70-200mm L is ii to start entering the world of sports photography and wild life, wanna got to africa one day and see if i can get some amazing shots and one day be featured in national geography ^_^
