Have you ever been to The Chobe? If not then here is a glimpse of what it's like from a video we made not long again: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6eWrbGJ1NCogaM.html

Absolutely blown away by the premium presentation of a difficult topic.

best explanation of Canon focus I've seen. Thank you!

This is the first time I’ve been able to understand information on the Canon focusing systems. I’ve been using my camera in a clunky manor and now I think I’ll be able to manage everything outlined by Sabine. Thank you so much for you clear and concise lesson. S o appreciated!

This woman’s a G! Thank you, best video I’ve seen on focusing modes!

Sabine.........That was the best explanation and examples I've ever seen.......THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Im 6:30 minutes in and Im blown away how well you explain these things. Im often very confused about focus modes and always ask about those setting when I see ppl posting amazing photos. I have the Sony a7IV and 200-600mm btw. Im kinda "advanced beginner" I would say. Ive seen sooooo many videos about this and they are all too technical for us beginners. But this video is freaking amazing. Thank you so much for your time 👌

Another excellent tutorial on today's incredibly capable but somewhat complex and confusing auto focus systems. For years I ran custom boat tours for nature and wildlife photographers and I lost count of how many times I discovered that they had literally no understanding of how their camera's autofocus systems worked. It may be time consuming and at times frustrating to fully understand the many focusing options available in your camera but it is essential that you do so as these features will if set incorrectly totally destroy image quality. Watch this video 4 times then read your camera's manual 4 more. Then experiment and find the settings that work best for you!

She gave the BEST explanation of AF modes. It was clear and concise and easy to follow! Finally I can set up my camera to perform to my needs. Thank you.

Best explanation I have ever heard! Thank you!!!

The title is not doing justice...that is the perfect canon focusing system explained...i’ve been looking for such tutorial for a long time and i have no interest in wildlife so i never paid attention..someone in a group sent it to me...thank you sooooo much and if i may suggest please relaunch the same video under a different title to capture and benefit other photographers...it’s super helpful to everyone really!

Wow I absolutely loved your video. I have learned a lot because you did a wonderful job explaining all the key points. Thank you so much! I will look forward to more tutorials from you.

Excellent! Fully explained! I've been shooting for years but now have a much better understanding of AF points and setting the menu. Truly, I thank you!!

Hi Sabine. I’m so glad I came across Pangolin Wildlife Photography everyone of your team explains everything so clearly. I have learnt so much from your channel. Thank you so much.

One of the most professional videos, on any subject, that I've ever watched online. Clear and consice. Thank you.

I wish I had found your videos a long time ago! Would've saved me a lot of time and frustration! All of Pangolins tutorials are extremely helpful!

You are superb in your style and explanations Sabine....!

Thank you so much Sabine for the very informative and comprehensive video! God bless you!

This was so practical, the best and most simplified of all I have followed. Thank you

Thank you SO MUCH Sabine! I have a 5d Mark IV that I recently bought to use for bird photography and this is by far the most understandable and useful tutorial I've seen. Thank you thank you thank you! Hope to see you in Botswana some day! Hello from Portland, Oregon, USA.

Have to be one of the best instruction videos I have watched. Thank you.

Sabine....as others have said, hands down the best presentation on this subject I have seen. Thanks and well done :)

Hi Sabine. Really an extensive, clear and straightforward explanation of how to setup the Canon AF system. Really impressed. Many thanks.

Brilliant. The very best tutorial for these settings that I have seen. Thank you

Very helpful explanations. Thanks for posting!

Best explanation of Canon focus systems EVER.. Thankyou Sabine : )

I've watched a lot of videos on the Canon autofocus system. This is the best one ever. The information is both clear and functional. I have no doubt it will make me a better wildlife photographer.

Fantastic Video tutorial. Crystal clear and you have given so much useful information especially the customary settings etc. The ease of manner of getting the information across is both simple and elegant and easy to understand. You’re are an excellent teacher. I will try to reset my camera with your information and I am sure it will be better for it. Thanks a ton. JP,Chennai, India.

Sabine, Thanks. Excellent presentation.

great tutorial, i don't shoot wildlife at all but weddings. After moving 5 years ago from 5diii and 1dxii to canon mirrorless, ive just made the leap back grabbing myself a couple of 5div, this has helped me no end set back up for tracking, only 5 years but crazy how i have the Sony menus and operation programmed into the brain. thanks again.

By far the best ever Auto Setting tutorial I have seen 👍😘🙏

Went there about 10 years ago. Fabulous place. Amazing sunsets. Will go back one day. Did the whole Okavanga Delta.

This is fantastic video on explaining modern autofocus. It's very appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial, this is super helpful for a beginner to shoot kids in sports!

That was an excellent explanation. Thanks very much!

Hi Sabine, Thanks for your very clear, precise explanations. It makes the sometimes confusing topic easier to grasp.

Thank you Sabine for a great tutorial, very helpful and easy to follow.

This was hands down the best tutorial I've seen about this topic. Very well and clearly explained, concise and straight to the point. Very interesting tips about the menu customizations. Thanks for such a great work, I just discovered your channel through this video and I'm going to check the rest of them.

Simple to understand, and better instructions offered by Canon. Excellent examples used.

Thank you for this great information. Really well done, and more clear than any other I have seen. Love you.

This is really excellent, Sabine. It answered a long-standing question I’ve had about one of the AF menu options as well giving me a good refresher of the overall AF system.

Thank you!The best explanation ever…

Very well explained. Thank you👏

Absolutely one of the best videos from Pangolin. I thought I had learnt it all 2 years ago when I did 4 sessions with Janine but this was a class. Reinforced a of what I learnt from Janine. Please keep doing these longer videos for us who are enthusiastic.

Thank you so much for this video, it's super didactic and well explained, with great examples to better understand each choice. Perfect! 😘

G'day Sabine. Well I have just finished watching this vid and I have to say that in my opinion I consider it excellent and right on target. Because I have had a little trouble with sharpness in my sport images I have spent the afternoon going through quite a few videos on using Autofocus for sport, action and wildlife. For me, apart from the fact that your a lot easier on the eye than the blokes I have been watching, yours was the best, the points you raised were both just what I needed and straight to the point without a lot of waffle. I haven't been to The Chobe but I have been to The Etosha in Namibia but that was during 1998/90 when I served with the Australian Army on a UN Mission so I really didn't have the time to enjoy it to the fullest. Loved the country and always wanted to go back. PS: Love you accent !! 😀

just great, very very clean explanation, thank you so much

Savine thank you for explaining 🙏 Best video ever

Thank you Sabine. I love your videos and have learned so much from you. My bucket list for 2024 is going on a Pangolin Safari. 🙂

I am a Canon shooter, and this video was VERY HELPFUL to me in understanding how to set my focus points!

This has to be the Best ever explanation i have ever seen .So a big THANK YOU

Such a great video, thanks so much for all the autofocus tips!

Thank you Sabina for making autofocusing so easy

Fantastic video. Thank you!

Thank you! Best explanation ever! You go into the detail that I need.

These tutorials from Pangolin are as good as it gets. Very well explained and with practical real life examples of the topic. First Class!!

Very helpful video, thank you!

Excellent explanation. Thanks

Thank you, it is not often I learn something new about my gear. That was really clear and helpful and enjoyable.

Top explained. ... ohne (unnötigen) Schnickschnack erklärt. Sehr erfrischend und bei weitem informativer als bei so manch anderem KZfaq- Kanal von selbsternannten Profifotografen.

Very clear topic, thanks a lot.👏

Thank you so much you’re the best Sabine!!!! I was trying to figure out why my AF Focus Assist Beam wasn’t working. The whole time I didn’t know how to get to the different AF modes on the 5D mark iii until your video demonstration ☺️. I appreciate it.

Great help, thank you very much, Sabine.

Very helpful information and easy to understand!

Thanks for the in depth details !! Very well spoken and knowledgeable 😀👍🏻

Brilliantly explained

Sabine.............your explanations of everything are phenomenal ..........one of the best photography teachers around

Hi Sabine, Thanks!! This is without doubt the best Tutorial I've ever seen. You've just got a new Subscriber. Keep up the good work!

Wow I really appreciate this. Thank you so Much!

I’ve struggled with these features for a long time. Experimented with all different settings but have never felt that I was very consistent and never really understood the differences. This was an amazing explanation and really feel like this will help take my action & wildlife photography to the next level. Thank you for this video, it was very helpful!

This was really informative and educative. Great work. Thank you!

Excellent video. Thanks

Thank you for the time you took to edit in examples - and the pace. I will watch this more than once and have subscribed.

Súper clara explicación, excelente video. Gracias

I have a 5D m4, and I learned a lot from this video. You have the best informative videos out there. Thank You!

This is the best AF setting tutorial i have ever seen thank you soo much.

I cannot thank you enough. Best teaching ever!

One of the best tutorials

Great tutorial! The best I’ve seen, thank you!

Very nicely explained. Thanks!

Beautifully explained auto focus...thanks

You and your videos our the best ever.

Brilliant. This channel is quickly becoming my go-to for all things wildlife photography related. None of the info is new per se, but it's so well presented as to be perfect. Thanks for sharing. I shoot Canon 5d mk IV so it's timely. My wife shoots Nikon and I'd invite her to view the same if it was Nikon based as well.

Best video I have seen explains this... I have a 5D2 so I don't have all the options, but this has shown me I should get the 5D4, its been on my list for some time. I don't want mirrorless yet, I feel the the 5D4 is proven solid hardware. It just works.

thanks....extremely informative!

Sabine, I see that many have already commented on your excellent training video and I wholeheartedly agree! I'm a technical trainer myself and have to say you have presented these focusing topics better than anyone I've seen. Your teaching technique promotes ease of learning through "best" order of topics, from simple to complex, presenting the problem to be addressed by each setting, easy-to-understand, unhurried "translations" of the technical terms, presenting live views of the results of the settings to reinforce the concept, explaining the pros and cons of each setting and including your personal choice along with the reasons. I've seen several Pangolin tutorials and they all are well designed and well presented. The Pangolin staff have apparently been well-trained in delivering educational presentations. Can you tell me anything about that training? Thank you for such a wonderful, educational experience! I look forward to all the Pangolin tutorials. Once the pandemic is under control, I will consider a trip to Africa to join one of your photographic safari's.

So deeply explain 👌thanks 👍

best video on this subject ive seen.

Hi Sab this was a great video, very detailed information keep up the great work👏🇦🇺

Your videos are always perfect, you explain everything so, so well, it’s a pleasure :) thank you!!!

OMG you're so good explaining! I loved that! Although my english is not so good I understood everything!

Sabine and danielle from pangolin explain things really well and go into each setting so a newbie can understand what the settings do.. very good informative video

Terrific tutorial, excellent tips and recommendations. Well done!

I just upgraded to a Canon 90D, and I found the section on adding autofocus options to a custom menu really useful. Thanks :-)

so well explained

Im learning so much from these videos! Thanks so much for making them 😃 From a aspiring wildlife photographer😄

Loved the Video !! Very helpful... thank you
