One thing I’ve done that works well for me is have my “star” button set for auto eye focus mode and “af on” for spot focus so I don’t have to mess with toggling between modes. I found that really unique in the new R5/6 to be able to set 2 different focus modes for custom buttons. Great video!!

I have it the exact same way! Still not 100% intuitive though, my fingers/brain have not learned it yet so I have still have to "think" when I'm focusing with my thumb after 20 years of focusing with my finger : ).
@joannefelipa3673 жыл бұрын
I have it set up almost the same way and it's so easy! What I did is limit AF options to just tracking (with eye AF enabled) and spot focus, so I can use one custom button to toggle between both modes (spot & tracking). Whatever mode I'm in, if I want the other one I'll just press it again. Then I have 'eye AF on' set up on the button next to it. This way I can be in spot focus, and then if a person walks in for just a few seconds or so that I want to focus on, I could just hold down the 'eye AF on' for a second and let it focus on the eye. Once I release that I'm right back in spot focus. It sort of adds the eye AF onto the spot focus for as long as you hold the button. That's the fastest way to switch between spot and eye AF I've found, but it's only useful for short unexpected bursts of eye AF as you have to keep holding the button to use the eye AF. If you're shooting people it's easier to just toggle to the eye tracking AF, which is also super fast with this set up.

@@cassidyallengar In the AF menu on tab 1, make sure eye detection is enabled. Then in subtab 4, click on Limit AF methods and uncheck all of them except face tracking and spot AF. Then go to the 6th menu tab (a camera with dots below it) and to subtab 3, customise buttons. The left column is for photo. Customise the AF-ON button to eye detection AF. Then customise the AF button (5th from below) to direct AF method selection. You can choose other buttons for this if you want. Those are just the ones I chose but it doesn't matter which ones you use for it, as long as you can easily reach them and don't need them for anything else. In this way, your AF button, which is easily accessible with your thumb, will toggle between the available AF methods and since you limited those to just two, it just makes you switch from face tracking to spot AF and vice versa super quick. The AF-ON button will now turn on eye AF as long as you keep pressing this button. Once you release it, the eye AF will stop. This button is useless if you're already in the face tracking AF. That already uses eye AF (as long as you have this enabled in general). But you can use this AF-ON button to quickly enable eye tracking when you're in spot AF. When you let go, you're back in spot AF. If you need eye tracking most of the time this makes no sense as you'd have to keep the button pressed the whole time. It's easier to just toggle to face tracking then. But it's very handy if you need spot AF most of the time but suddenly need eye AF sometimes. Hope this helps and goodluck!

Your comment on relearning to think differently is spot on. I tend to always use back button focus so I have my AF-on set to single point and then I map my * button to eye detect auto focus. For me this works the best for my style. Good video and keep up the good work.

I change focusing modes with the control ring and set the AF-ON back button to focus with eye autofocus only. Found it great to switch between the spot, +sign area, and box area (the large bracket ones) focusing modes super fast while always having that eye autofocus at the ready on its own button. Love that this camera has so many cool ways to achieve amazing focus!!!

For those that may not know already, if it locks onto the wrong eye or the wrong person’s eye, you can use the joystick to move it to another eye or someone else entirely. I find it more accurate than touch and drag. Excellent and concise tutorial. It’s nice to know that my settings are inline with others.

So…I might be a bit late to the party but just a note / tip. The ‘Touch and Drag AF’ (3:40) and the zone is meant to be for when your using the view finder. When looking through the view finder you can easily touch the screen and drag your focus point rather than trying to manoeuvre with the joystick while keeping you eye at the viewfinder.
@VanessaJoy2 жыл бұрын
You can touch to focus, but not drag it around like the previous R series. And I did confirm that with Ken in earlier on, so unless they changed the firmware and the production version, which I currently don’t have, it does not have touch a drag. I get my production version very soon though so I will be delighted if they updated that!
@fredhedberg2 жыл бұрын
@@VanessaJoy the difference is using viewfinder or screen. Just checked again in my R6 to be sure. Can confirm, when using viewfinder you can drag the focus point by touching-dragging on the screen in the area (half/corner) that you’ve nominated. If you’re using the screen, the touch-drag does not work (just touch). Thank you for your content..!

Touch and Drag AF Tip: I've found (along with many) that my nose/face often moves the AF point when I'm using the viewfinder. It took me a while to figure out what was happening (I thought the AF system was just being jumpy) but soon realized it was b/c my nose was hitting the LCD. I could simply move the area (or turn off the touch and drag) but I like it set to the right for quick thumb access. So what's the fix? My nose! I realized that I can actually use my nose to "TWITCH AND DRAG" my AF point with a great deal of accuracy if/when my face shifts it. Feels odd at first but gets the job done. I feel a bit like Samantha from Bewitched (and probably look that way too) but it's a quick fix when you need it on the fly.

2:40 "Continuous AF" may seem a good idea to have the camera autofocussing constantly, keep in mind though that this is a huge battery drain. The R5/R6 AF system is lightning fast and it will be there when you need it. I advise not to turn this setting to Enabled.
@dusty3913 Жыл бұрын
Totally agree. But, I think it depends on how you’re shooting. If you’re on a photo shoot that you know is only 30 minutes total, the drain is negligible. Where it comes into play is if you’re on vacation, walking around with your camera “active” for 1,2 hours at a time.
@reinhard8053 Жыл бұрын
With a cap on the lens and the camera still active it tries to find a focus without success. With some lenses it gets to a distance setting where it doesn't autofocus anymore but stays at manual until you move it to a useful value if you continue shooting. Very annoying.

My R5 is programmed with the * button as my auto eye detect back button AF, and AF-ON button is spot focus back button AF. I wish canon would allow the joystick to be back button AF on center press, like my Sony. The joystick seems faster than getting my hands all up in my face to touch the screen when I want to redirect the focus, but with the R5 I need to then slide to the right to bbaf focus, whereas with the Sony I just joystick then center press to back button AF. Still, love the R5! Great video Vanessa, interesting to hear your approach, I am not usually shooting people, so hadn’t thought of it that way.

I have to say, I've been doing photography for 25 years or more, and this transition (DSLR to mirrorless (really the focusing system change)) seems even more of a change than when I went from film to digital (my camera worked basically the same then-what I had to change/learn was using a computer, and the editing software, as I knew NOTHING about computers, and when I was in school, I learned darkroom techniques since all this computer stuff wasn't invented yet)

Thank you so much! Switching from DSLR to Mirrorless definitely has had it's challenges. I've found when it works properly the R5 is amazing, but I've had some challenges with consistent sharp images in a series with the R5. Typically, the first image is blurry but the others are TACT sharp and in reality, there is no reason for this to be happening. To compensate, I shoot in bursts to be safe...I've basically had to go back to overshooting and viewing every image at 100% (like I did with the 5DIV), and it's extremely time consuming! I know that isn't what I should have to do - I want to be able to trust my settings, my eyes, and my equipment. I wanted to ask you about your IBIS settings. So the word is that there is a known bug (that is supposed to be fixed in the next firmware) that has to do with IBIS set to "always on". I did have mine set that way. It was suggested to use "only for shot" versus "always on" for IBIS so I made the change but after my last shoot, that issue is still happening - first shot blurry, all others in series great. I sold my 5DIV and most of my EF glass and bought the RF 85 f1.2. I have been using that lens on all sessions as well as my EF 35 f1.4 while I await my RF 28-70 (it has been on backorder since February). I always use a Flashpoint 600 pro for OCF and am shooting in Mechanical shutter in high speed continuous mode - what am I doing wrong? I did just realize (after studying your settings in the video) that I had antiflicker left on from some indoor sports shooting - maybe that has been wreaking havoc with my settings?! IDK...I just know that every setting seems to matter with this camera and I am determined to figure it out so I can consistently provide quality images to my clients. Maybe I just have to shoot this way until the next firmware, but if you have any or advice or suggestions, I'd appreciate your input. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DO TO HELP PHOTOGRAPHERS IMPROVE! ♥

EDIT: I've tried that now and it's a really useful tip :) I've set that to C1 for birds and animals. For other small subjects e.g. a butterfly on a flower amongst a lot of foliage which has been driving me nuts I've assigned the star button to toggle AF between one shot and servo (I always use servo to correct for any slight movement handheld). So focus using one shot AF like you said and then switch to servo to take the shot. Works a treat and the AF point stays exactly where it should :) I've assinged that to C2. An exceedingly happy bunny here and many thanks for sharing your settings!

@@v8gtr glad it helped you, I think Canon should have set it up like this to begin with as so many are frustrated with the default af. I’m loving it now, before this I was wondering if I had made a bad purchase decision!

My R5's choice of focus point annoyed me, until I discovered that you can click in the joystick to select center focus, then the camera tracks as you recompose. I haven' t had to drag around the screen since!
