  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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

  6. 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 ^_^
