I had an "Aha!" moment at about 3:35. Thanks! I've struggled with understanding all of the focus settings for shooting video and associated bla bla from different TH-cam videos, so I'm happy to have seen this in action. I find it really helpful to hear what you used and why.
Thomas Egli, that’s awesome to hear! So glad that it was helpful. I like to try to give good examples instead of just talk about stuff so I’m glad that it’s making sense.
This is the bane of even the best AF tech available today. As you said, manual focus is the solution, but also impossible if you're the videographer and the subject simultaneously, which many of us are.
Definitely! I wouldn't have been able to make that short film nearly as quickly as I did while working with kids if it weren't for that Autofocus. Thanks for watching and always supporting the channel Rivu!
AWESOME Camber mate. I love your style n happy to Sub you man. I am a solo creator and new to using a good camera instead of my iPhone. Currently Learning how to use my GH5 and waiting for a 12-35mm Pro lens to arrive. Thank You for making this video 👍🏻 (You have a beautiful home) looking forward to sharing videos with you. Cheers from Western Australia 🎬🎥🎙📸📺✅👌🏻
cool video thanks what setting would you use on the auto focus if leaving the camera on a group 3-4 people at dinner or podcast? sony zv-e10 16mm 2.8 lens. thanks
I’d make sure that you have plenty of good lighting and use a higher aperture so more is in focus (like f/5.6-8.0) and then just set manual focus so it’s not trying to jump around.
Do you have any idea why af does not work and gets blurry as soon as the distance between an object ( or a person) changes? or when the the distance between objects is in still and the camera (or person shooting) changes? Thank you.
@@CamberFilmSchool hi thanks for your reply. I am using a sony-a7iii and using AF-c with a single-spot. When shooting photos I have no problem but when shooting a video it does not work. Do you think I need to have my camera fixed?
That works fine for pictures because you can make sure it focuses on what you want. But it’s only going to focus on that one spot when you’re recording videos. For video, I use AF-C with focus area set to wide and “face/eye Prty in AF” turned on in most cases. I also have touch operation turned on in order to be able to touch focus.
@@CamberFilmSchool I also have those setting turned on, but since I am playing the drums while filming myself, the camera has a harder time keeping me in focus than on the M50. Also I do a lot of talking head stuff. What are your focus settings for your talking head parts? I would really like to know.
Those are what I use for talking head. But using manual focus and setting it before hand using focus peaking may be better for drumming since there is so much activity going on. What kind of lens?
Have any issues with using Autofocus?? Let me know, and I'll see if I can help!

Yep
Thank you man, This video is like heaven for beginners like me... 🙏💯👌
Glad to help!
Wow really informative video .... Much needed thanks !!!
Glad to help! 😉
Those are some neat work arounds!
Thanks!
Thanks Camber! I love this video
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.
Modern cameras coming out with auto focus and touchscreen is so helpful fr solo creators like us. Which camera were u using fr the short film?
Definitely! I wouldn't have been able to make that short film nearly as quickly as I did while working with kids if it weren't for that Autofocus. Thanks for watching and always supporting the channel Rivu!
It was the Sony a7iii for most of it (sometimes my a7Sii when I had two cameras rolling).
Camber Motion thanks fr making these amazing content camber.. learnt so much frm u 🤗
Camber Motion it was great 👍
Need a detailed video about Sharpness Of the lens
Hari Krishnan, depends on the lens your using. Any one in particular you are thinking of?
@@CamberFilmSchool I need to know that, Can we get the same sharpness in videos as like photos
Hari Krishnan, probably not. There’s a lot more detail retained in photos because there is less compression of the data than with videos.
@@CamberFilmSchool thanks ❤️
@@CamberFilmSchool But, How some videos get more sharp with dslr?
great content. very helpful
You’re welcome!

Thanks so much, iSpike! Just let me know what you need help with in the future.
Great Video! Thank. Considering A7SIII for a web series project solely because of the help I can get from a reliable autofocus system.
It’s definitely a good one!
Nice tips boss i love it hope i can buy dslr soon keep it up boss
Thanks, Dandrib! What kind of DSLR are you wanting to get?
m50 boss
Dandrib Caliza, nice! I’m thinking about getting one too and making a beginners class with it.
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! I hope it helped.

What kind of camera are you using?
And what autofocus mode are you using?

@@CamberFilmSchool maybe I found why I was also pressing the shutter button half way through even when I am shooting.
Hi do you have an old camera for making films u don't need it? If it's, can u give it to me? please
BM Zéro, sorry but I use all my gear.
How can I do this on a Canon camera? Any tips. U struggle a lot with making video’s of my workouts because they don’t want to be focus
What kind of camera do you have and what focus mode are you using?
Which one is better auto focus mode or dynamic auto focus?
What camera?
@@CamberFilmSchool Nikon d3100..Oh I see my camera it works always automatic if I wanna do a video ..
Cool. 👍
Veeery helpful
Awesome!
@@CamberFilmSchool Coming from a Canon M50 camera to the Sony A7III gives me serious headaches when dealing with focus.
What autofocus settings are you using? I typically have it set to wide with face detection on and rarely have any issues.
