ABSOLUTE LEGEND! Always love learning from you!
love your work Mitch🔥🔥🔥
You've become one of my favorite CZcams channels - packed with value and beautiful images/videos. Phenomenal work!
Thanks Alex!
Love the vid Mitch, super helpful. I’ve always used face and eye tracking af on my r6 but I think it’s time I give single point af a shot. Cheers mate!
best explanation so far, I was really struggling with how to program my buttons and what would work best for me with families and fast moving toddlers! Your tutorial really simplified it!! thx so much!
I am extremely grateful to you Mitch. I'm grinding with my Eos R all because of you.
Very helpful video Mitch ! Thanks man
So much helpful content on this channel! Thanks bro 🙏
Very helpful. Thanks for this
Great video, thanks so much for this!
You've always got quality content 👌 great work!
Appreciate that man!
LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Thanks dude… it was helpful
you earned a subscriber. thanks for all that you do!
What a helpful video. Just discovered your channel. Thanks for the tuts. I subbed.
Video is so well put together man 👏 rate the new beanie too
Great video mate - thanks for the Black Spur cameo haha!
Thankyou for sharing!!!!!
Wooooow! Unableing (if that’s a word… sorry I’m french…) the author focus method that I don’t use and, even more, put the two that you use on the back button?!? Genius mate 🙌🏼💯
Great video thank you!
As someone shooting a dslr, I would say purchasing a modern mirrorless camera with modern eye AF is a really good start.
Super useful! Really helped.
Glad to help Nick!
Dude, i bought the yongnuo 85! It’s tiny, it works. DONE. Lol perfect for less obvious street photo!! It might actually like it better than the rf 50 1.8
I find myself constantly working between manual focus and automatic focus in the zone area, then I select on and off the eye focus. But primarily shooting video. For still portraits I use the eye autofocus most often. Your video was very helpful though nice to know other ideas.
YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
🔥🔥
Awesome vid m8! Any tips for Fuji’s AF system?
Good tips ya lemon head much love bro
Nice one,
Do make videos on entry level cameras like eos m50, 200d mark ll, fujifilm xt200.
I shoot 35mm & 85mm combo since 2012.
35mm f1.4 about 2/3 of all my pictures and 85mm f1.4 1/3. This days I like a bit more environment around my models so my 35mm works way more.
I’m trying to figure out if I need to purchase RF glass versus EF an adapter can I still get same quality out of the EF? And what are your favorite three lenses?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mitch, great video! When you focus and recompose, do you lock exposure with the focus, or do you meter again before you take the shot? Thank you!
Always shoot full manual mode
@@MitchLally Thats not what he asked lol
What BDO you think about manual Len's?
cool
Does this work for group pictures
Would love a tutorial on assigning the buttons to switch between eye tracking and single point
It’s on my channel - just search for best settings for photography R6
@@MitchLally Thanks!
Will your method work on canon 77D
When moving subjects what should it be on
Hi Mitch ! thanks for your video ! when i zoom in my photos taken with my R6 they look pixelise very quickly :( even in my raw images... can't find why. maybe due to the 20mpx... i had the 5D IV before and it was alway very sharp. an idea ?
Same here
Your photos are incredible but I am always so jealous of your video work. When you choose ISO for your video, is it bad to have a higher ISO or will it destroy the film? Obviously in daylight you're going to need lower ISO and higher shutter.(maybe ND will help)
Well I always think it’s better to have the iso lower during the day and using polarizers to bring out the sky
And at night the lowest possible iso would be best to avoid too much grain or pixels showing up in the dark spots
Best way to avoid having a high iso at night is by adding light sources
Me crying on my t3i and watching this video wishing I had Eye AF kkkk
Lol my Canon 60d has no eye focus, the life view does help though, my 50mm 1.8 lens misses sometimes too
Hey mitch! do you think it would be better for me to save a little bit more money for the EOS R or just get the RP since theyre basically the same thing. I know these questions are kind of dumb ones to ask as i should do research myself, but seeing as how you've used both the EOS R and RP I was wondering what your perspective would be on choosing between the two!
I like the R for the bigger battery, better video specs, and couple extra buttons. Plus it’s a little bigger and feels better in my hands. I’m a big dude, so certain cameras can feel cramped for me. Not a big thing, but I actually really like the top LED screen that gives you info too. Either way, you’re getting a sweet camera! 🙏🏽
I started with the RP. My wife bought it for me as a wisdom purchase to start my career. I wanted the a73. At first I was upset, but then just accepted it a learning camera. Sure I wish it had better eye auto focus, but after learning manual, it's been a great experience. I just take lots of photos, bc I know the camera will miss. The 85 samyang 1.4 has been my main lens, along with the Cannon 50 mm 1.8. I've paid off all my investments and saved about 4k. I'm not entirely sold on Cannon though. The glass is just so expensive compared to Sony's 3rd party
I don't think the eos r is worth double the price. I got my eos rp for $799. Also wanted something light I can bring around. None of them are "heavy" but the rp is 200g lighter and most instances will still weigh less than the r with a lens on. I'm happy I got the rp, your expectations may have different requirements tho.
2:43 does that mean you have to have continuous auto focus on?
Hi Mitch i am really interested to buy R6 just concerning about overheating in photos mode, i dont shoot videos. Thanks.
doesn’t really over heat in photo mode, new firmware update fixes a lot of issues
I had the R6 for just about a year. It never overheated on me once in both photo or video.
@@tuckerhousephoto thanks mate. 👍
@@KdubLA thanks 👍
I'm early!
My canon eos80d doesnt have eye tracking 💔
Canon R6 has only phase detect AS FAR AS I KNOW, no contrast detect...so tip number 1 isn't availale for canon R6
Yes you are correct about the phase detection. DPAF is essentially phase detection - but phase detection works to compare and align light signals from left and right looking diodes. If you have a blank white wall then the image will look the same whether it’s in focus or out of focus - vs a detailed object with lines and edges which is very easily compared when out of focus to in focus. So in the real world - while it’s not called ‘contrast autofocus’ it still is affected in it’s implementation by contrast. That’s why you can clearly see in my video - using the R6 - that it works much better with the focus point over the contrasty edge vs the blank white wall. Hope that helps

First comment? 😃
Please feature Arabic translation, we want to benefit from it
Can I have Amanda’s IG for research purposes
sorry thesh ya can’t play
I enjoy your videos but honestly, if you can't get an in focus shot out of 3 images, especially on a camera like the R6 with an excellent AF system, you really need to slow down and/or change your technique. I used to spray and pray quite a bit too and its a sloppy technique no professional should be using IMO. I found going back and shooting film again forced me to slow down and actually think about what I was doing rather than just mashing the shutter button as far too many photographers these days do. Thats certainly not how the legends did it, even when they moved over to digital.
Good tips, I would add, slow down and try to limit yourself to one shot every 20 seconds. Really look at the scene and take the time to compose the shot and nail it. I would rather deliver 300 mazing photos to a client than 600 with a bunch of out of focus and unusable photos because I was spraying and praying. They would think that was quite amateurish Id imagine.
The guy with dislike.... Therapy??? Have you considered?
The best way to get sharp photos is not buying Fujifilm camera and lens :D
You didn't show your settings, more just speak of them... Your two most importent settings.
How to get sharp focus doing portaits: just buy a mirrorless with Eye tracking AF. Come on dude...
Buy a Sony
