the sweet model trying her very best to not laugh while the professor is trying to understand his camera :-D

Gary is brilliant, and I've learnt lots from his videos. He talks in a manor and pace that is easy to follow

Who are we kidding Gary, Face Recognition ON or OFF! Katie is just too damn beautiful for your camera to ever stop focusing on!

I like that all these people are here for the camera settings and they all comment on how pretty the model is haha

You explained it in very detail. I have stoped searching about focus area focus mode after this video. Thank you Guru!

thank you. I just purchased this camera, and right now I need it to do all of the work for me. I was trying to find out the difference between intelligent auto and superior auto. Yours was the first explanation I understood!

Gary, What I like about your video is that you are articulate without a script in front of you and you get right to the instruction without the usual clutter chatter.

The best video explaining Sony camera focus I've ever watched. Thank you very much!

I have an older a58 so some of the advanced features are not there, but it is a good real time explanation of auto focus area settings. And your model is very beautiful!

I have found that your videos now make up the bulk of all my sony a6000 videos. for as popular as this camera is there are not a lot of people who explore its vasts capabilities like you. Thanks for going over real-world situations with it. this walk through of the focus features it was extremely helpful. much appreciated.

You are the BEST Gary!!! Thanks I just purchased the Sony RX100iv and it is amazing!!! With your tutorials I am even more liking this smart camera.

Cool video my friend! I've just switched to Sony after 30 odd years with a canon and this video is just what I've been looking for, thanks again!

I have a a6300 and a A7R2 thanks to you :) Amazing systems and i would call it revolutionary!

Hi Gary! Thanks for a great explanation on Autofocus.

Gary, this is outstanding! I just forwarded to a friend who is thinking about buying a Sony! I have the a6000 and a7rii.

Gary. Excellent detailed explanation on focusing. I just got the A7iii coming from Nikon for many years and I am at this learning curve with this fantastic camera. Focusing is the key to excellence vs mediocre and you have made it easier for me to customize my settings. I just subscribed and looking forward to seeing more.

Really good explanation

Excellent tutorial and absolutely beautiful model, thanks Gary.

I am from Sri Lanka [half way round the world], I discovered you just yesterday. You are a very good teacher, from now on I will tune in only to your channel.

Awesome video. So many great tips. I have Sony a5100 and have trouble understanding all the options. But this really helps. Thank you!

my heart focus area set on katie... lol...

Thanks! I didn't even know about this feature until I watched this video. Can't wait to try it out next time I shoot

Thanks for the great videos. I really appreciate learning about focus areas and focus modes. I just moved up from an RX100 to and RX100 IV and your videos are a great help. I like your style of explaining the features.

Informative video. Thanks. I just purchased this camera, and I'm excited to use these features. :)

Thank you Gary, very nice and useful video

Thank you so much for showing subject locking! Amazing how well that works! Makes my life easier!! 👏🏻😊

Great tutorial Gary!

I have the a77ii v2 and it dose have Lock-on AF:expand flexible spot. For those who are wondering it may have been added in the 2.0 update.

Fantastic comprehensive lessons.

the lady is beautiful. thank you for the effort you made to explain all these things.

I am going to try this with my Sony RX100 M4, thanks for the tips Gary. Any Kate is very cute

Still Great Tutorial even in 2023 🍻🍻

Excellent tutorial, thumbs up!

This is fantastic! Thank you very much for explaining so well! I have one query and that is when I follow your instructions I am not getting the Green box around the subject, I am only getting the snowflakes so I am wondering whether or not I have a setting turned on to stop this from happening! I am so grateful for any help. Many thanks 😊

Thank you, great tutorial!

What about video autofocus? All of your videos are about photo autofocus, we need a video about video autofocus. Thank you.

Updated both firm wares. Af-F is now on the a6000 but not on the A7II

very well explained. thanks pleasure to watch, you have best-looking models, I want to move there :)

I'll sell my A7 RII and marry Kate

Thank you Gary

Very useful review, thanks!

great video, great model

Très bon video et très bien expliqué! Good Job!!

beautiful model ! thanks for the amazing tipps on my sony !

Love this video very well done brother!

that's one badass Lens you have there

you are awesome man thanks for the features

Really helpful. Thanks for the video. Though, it's very clear that there's a lot of emphasis on action shooting and you just kind of glazed over the other AF options. I was hoping for a rundown on all of them, based on the title of the video. Thanks again.

this video is awesome!!! thank you

Very nice. Thank you!

Hi Gary, I can not find a video about how to focus on a group of people. I just bought the sony a6000 and I do a lot of family photography and I am a beginner photographer with no school so I am just learning as I go....can u help me choose which focus mode I need to use for all faces...thank you, M.C.

Thank you for this great tutorial

Great video !!!

thanks this video really helpful

Thanks for such nice explanations. I got a question. How is it possible to focus on both people (say, birds) at different small depths at the same time?

Great video about Kate... Love it. ❤

So amazing 😍😍😍

Nice

How do you "reacquire Katie" @6:00? I'm a little confused about how to lock focus on different areas. It feels as if there's no way to unlock it. I can use my A6500 touch screen, but I feel that there should be another way to move the flexible spot. I'm using Lock-On AF: Expand Flexible Spot as you recommend and like it a lot - just want to understand what your fingers are doing as you demo it.

i have a question...which mode should i use for focusing on EVERYTHING in the scene, like landscape photos?

That was extremely helpful however I now have 30,000 questions. Lol. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

If your vlogging in2018 use wide focus area simple because it detect was closure or what stands out the most

excellent video.

You see that center thing....? :) Very nice turtorial. Thank you.

Should you hold the button while doing so or it can be done like toggle mode?

wonderful video. thx

Not sure if you know this as easily as you do with models/people but any clue what might be the better focus choice for say a product shoot where you are with-in 4 feet of subject and someone is moving around and you want everything to stay in focus and NOT focus breathe and try to decide what it should focus on? Some kind of lock on focus perhaps or take off auto?? Thanks for all the videos!

great class. tnx

Thank you for this video! Very helpful. And the model is very beautiful, what a pleasure to whatch )

very nice record, you deserve subscribe and like, by the way my cam. is a7r 70-200 f4, is it a good camera ?

OMG I know I saw how to do it before and yet I cannot find it on the video again. How is it that you can do the old focus and recompose process but with the camera actually keeping that object you focused on originally in focus. Like having a face on the edge to the right focused after I recomposed?

Hi Gary I am truly grateful for all your videos on the Sony mirror less camera. I own a Sony A 7 I bought last year. I cannot find anymore setting under the flexible spot. I bought this in 2014. Am I missing something I cannot find Lock on AF Flexible spot. My camera has the latest version update.version 2. Please help. I shoot a lot of Belly dancers and would love to have this feature. Thanks again for all you do. Glenn Herring

That's another great video

The Gary Fong Channel .. Is the Lock on Auto: Flex good with zoom as well? Like if I'm at the end of the isle will it adjust on my 70-200 as they walk closer and I zoom out? That would be sweet

Gary, I'm a hobby photographer and I like shooting photos for my friends who participate in triathlons. I've been experimenting using background motion blur with my Canon, keeping the shutter speed low and panning with the rider as they zip by on their bikes. I just picked up an A6000 and I was wondering what you would recommend for focus settings to achieve the same effect? Thanks.

thanks for that good job

good demo made me hit subscribe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome bro !!

helpful video for sony begginers

Thank you Gary Fong. Love your videos. My A77Mii enable me to see Lock-on AF Flexible Spot only without the S/M/L. Any other setting I had missed?

Hi Garry great job. you had said this option was on all alphas, though I don't see it on my A99 please help Thanks for all you do
