Рет қаралды 102,641

Күн бұрын

If you are struggling to master the AUTOFOCUS on your Sony a6000 for your photos then this video is for you. I start off by explaining the Focus Mode and Focus Area. Then I show you 3 different ways on how can you access and set up Focus Mode and Area. Then I show how useful is the back button focus, how to set it up and how to use it, and lastly I explain in which situations you should use Single AF or Continuous AF mode as well as when to select Wide, Zone, Centre or Flexible Autofocus area in order to always get the perfect focus for your photos.
TIMELINE:
0:00 - Intro
0:54 - Back Button Focus (what it is & why it matters)
2:11 - How to set up Back Button Focus
2:45 - Focus Mode (what it is & setup)
4:16 - Which Focus Mode to choose
5:40 - Focus Area (how to set it up)
6:03 - Which Focus Area to choose
6:12 - WIDE (Focus Area)
6:51 - ZONE (Focus Area)
7:02 - CENTER (Focus Area)
7:12 - FLEXIBLE SPOT (Focus Area)

If its possible kindly go into the details regarding angle and rule of third moreover POV videos are way too much impressive kindly maintain that too... Another thing is give us some tips whilee shooting RAW images of street photography.. Also go through the settings depending on the condition.. Finally Let us know an approximate date when we will get that video...

my comment probably wont be seen on such an old video, but I bought a a6000 off facebook marketplace a few days ago as my first camera other then a ae-1 i had but had trouble learning with due to film prices. I did not even realize until now that there is a specific button that should be pressed to make it focus, i thought it did it automatically. I got some half decent photos of ducks the other day but 95% of my photos were garbage and I realize now this is why. I guess thats just the way it goes when you are winging it haha thank you very much

@TomsJurjaks 6 ай бұрын

Hey buddy, I am a creator who tries my best to get back at all comments, even at older videos, but you are actually kinda right, by default the autofocus should be activated when the shutter button is half pressed. Thats one way of doing it, in this video I showed a back button focus, gives you a bit more control. Hope now your AF game is strong 💪

@stuarttracey2009 2 жыл бұрын

You can achieve the same results using centre focus and recompose in single shot for most of the issues you have identified. The only benefit to back button autofocus is where you are generally focusing on fast moving objects. Even then there are other ways such as lock on subject tracking. I think a lot of it comes down to your personal style and methods.

@TomsJurjaks 2 жыл бұрын

I agree that there are several approaches and preferences. For me the biggest benefit is that the camera will not refocus when I half press the shutter button down. This means, I can take 2 pictures 1 minute apart without refocusing while without back button focus, you would have to hold down the shutter button halfway down for 1 full minute, otherwise camera would refocus and you would have to repeat the composition again.

Hi Toms, very well explained video on focus for users like me who use a6000. I've had it for 5-6 years. Just a quick question, is there any quick tip to not miss focus on eyes of your portrait subject? For me, its always hit and miss. Sometimes its sharp and a lot of other times, its not focusing. I understand it depends on lots of factors like light, shutter speed, depth, etc. Just wanted to see if there's any pro tip from you. Thanks in advance.

@TomsJurjaks 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Prasanna, thanks a lot! Well there are 3 things: 1) Newer camera will definitely have improved AF performance; 2) Good, high quality lens will also help a lot; 3) but besides those 2 things which require you to spend cash, try selecting zone AF mode and limiting the space where camer has to search for the focus.

Your English is great, no worries. Yes, thats the exact point of "back-button focus". Camera focus only when you hold down the AEL button. But this applies only to photo mode. For videos, there should be Auto Focus without any buttons pressing.

I have a question about focus, on my a6300. A couple weeks ago I was trying to take a self portrait in the mountains but the focus was always out and ended up using the manual focus; having to figure out by trial and error where to focus. So, I set the timer to ten seconds, hit the button, get in to place and shoot; out of focus every time. I realized that it was keeping the same focus as when I first pressed the button. So, when I got in to the shot, the focus was still for far away. How do I set up the camera where it changes focus when the object in view changes? Thanks.

@TomsJurjaks 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Ray, thanks for your comment. Have you tried setting your camera to AF-C (which is continuous auto focus) and in settings ENABLE Pre-AF. I usually disable Pre-AF as it most of the times just unnecessary focuses, but in photos, especially with the timer, the camera takes the focus when you half press the shutter and usually then you are closer to camera. So having Pre-Af enabled possibly could solve your problem. Alternative solution is to use a remote or Imagine Edge app on your phone. In that way, you could get in the place and when you would hit the shutter button (on remote or in app) the camera would focus and start the timer. Also it would be easier for you to see where you need to stand. I really hope this helps. Its a bit of trial and error with self portraits I guess. Let me know how it goes Ray ✌️

@raycowan1387 2 жыл бұрын

@@TomsJurjaks under the drive mode (Timer) the camera won't let me do AF-C; that's the setting I usually use.

As long as you are holding down the back button focus and have the AF set to Continuous AF then yes, you will hit it. The only downside is that you need to use two fingers - one for focusing, the other for shutter, but for me that is perfect because I am in full control and there are no other downsides of having back button focus.

Back button focus available in A5100?

@TomsJurjaks 3 жыл бұрын

Ugh I don't know that. If it has at least one custom button then chances are you can program it as a back button.

A6000 or fujifilm xt200 ? 🤔

@TomsJurjaks 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Nick, if you don't mind be limited by Fuji's lens selection then go with Fuji as it is bit better than a6000. Alternatively, you can go with Sony a6100 and have access to all of the lenses from Sony, Tamron, Sigma etc.
