  • Focusing on a Gimbal using AUTOFOCUS - Modes & Settings for CINEMATIC VIDEO - Sony A7IV, A7sIII, FX3
    Focusing on a gimbal. Even with autofocus, there’s always a few shots that are hard pull off, especially if you’re shooting alone. In this video I’m going to explain the different techniques I use to nail focus when shooting solo on a gimbal.

    It's been a month since my last upload! For those who don't know yet, I recently became a dad with baby arriving earlier than planned. I wrote a whole post about it on my community page but with all of this joy also comes a lot of responsibility and I want to be present and support my wife. Please bear with me as I won't be uploading again until end of the month! Thanks for your ongoing support!

    Jacques you are hands down my favorite creator on youtube. Your videos are so helpful!! Question - what is the best auto focus mode to use for multiple people in one shot? Just looking to keep everybody in focus and not one specific person with Eye AF. How should I go about this?
