    Simply the best, Michael you've done it again! I love the way you explain, not to long, very easy to follow, excellent illustration. Being a long time shooter on canon and added A7Rii just few days back, it was absolutely easy for me to get to full speed on this new camera after watching this video. Thanks again!

    This was an excellent video. Very thorough and explained in a chronological order. Really helped my understanding of the different focus modes, how to change them and when to do so for the optimum performance. Thank you

  • @simonbolzdotcom
    @simonbolzdotcom Před 8 lety +18

    As the focus modes are so comprehensive, it definitely is useful to watch this video over and over again.
    From my own experience, many of the modes are fancy and nice to have. But you don't have to use them. Rather select one that you like and that works for your type of photography and stick with it. Just my thinking.
    Thanks Michael for putting this video up.

    Excellent summary, VERY helpful. I've had the a7R II for a month and read two books (Matsumoto and Busch) that were good starts, but you summarized and demonstrated the essentials of this complex topic in a meaningful and accessible way. I agree with Flashback, "A really great tutorial. Sony should pay you for this:-)".

    Hi Michael, I am that mom, friend that always volunteers to take family, friends and church family life style photos and I love it. After years of only owning kit Canons and kit Nikons I was blessed with the opportunity to buy my very first full frame and I purchased the Sony 7aii. I love it and well I have always loved Sony products, but never imagined I would own a full-frame mirrorless camera. I appreciate your video and hope to learn how to use this camera in manual mode instead of auto mode. Thank you for you videos!!!!! This one particularly has been very helpful.

    Nice video. thanks for the walk through. I just switched to using back button focusing and taking the focus away from the shutter button. I'm using the AF/MF switch setting to do AF and the AEL switch setting to do Eye AF.

      Quarker the camera is fantastic. I got it in July and i have 2 lens with it. The Sony 85mm 1.4 GM and the Zeiss Distagon 35mm 1.4. Both of the lenses are perfect match with this camera.

    • @Quarker
      @Quarker Před 7 lety

      Nice, that 35mm is a beast. I hate that Sony/Zeiss lenses are so expensive, compared to Canon. I just got the A7Rii a couple of days ago too, learning how to use it.

  • @pracquet
    @pracquet Před 7 lety

    Great videos you make Michael.
    I'm just wondering which autofocus mode you found to be the most reliable for moving subjects; the center lock on AF, the lock on AF expandable spot, or continuous focus?

  • @mgk2
    @mgk2 Před 8 lety +1

    Great video! Just one question - How accurate is AF-C on static subject? Will it result in a blurry image because camera is expecting the subject to move?

  • @wolfpack2545
    @wolfpack2545 Před 8 lety +2

    @storyfrontier Před 8 lety

    Thank you for the tutorial. However, the title also says A7Sii. And for people watching with the A7Sii it can be misleading, as both cameras have some differences in focusing. The A7Rii has some superior focusing capabilities which do not apply to the A7Sii. Also a huge point not mentioned is that whilst the A7Sii was aimed more at video shooters, the A7Rii actually has better continuous focusing in video mode. Which is a strong reason to consider using the A7Rii for video. Thanks, all the best

    Please let me know how to change this setting, thanks :)

    Wow, 2015! Still great deals... but the lacks of dual card.. no af joystick and still around 1600 new.. for now I'm into Fuji with discounted x-h1, half the price with grip (I know its just apsc). Still tempted by Sony but dont' find the bodies comfortable.. btw still great tech (even if camera seems to say "let me do everything")
