Honestly, your video about "Auto ISO" was a "brain explodes" moment for me. None of my previous cameras had it, but I just got a 5D mkiii and woah mama. What a great setting! You're absolutely right: ISO doesn't mean a̶n̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ nearly as much as it used to. As you said: "it's the ONE variable that I don't care about". Complete eye-opener. One technique I use (I do a lot of club photography) is to use a VERY small amount of flash, with a long shutter speed. It allows me to freeze my subjects' faces, but keeps the lens open to absorb the cool background club lighting. Sometimes I even simply use the "flashlight" app on my phone to highlight faces, and let the ambient club lighting do the rest!
Sensei Simon I would of guessed you have long eclipsed the 1 million captures !?! :: i operate the Sony rx 10 m 4 and the focus limiter and normally staying wide in focal points
@@Shutterbun4 I want to do auto iso but my Sony rx 10 disappoints me almost all the time .. usually way overexposed .. and then I feel like it just get too much defeating point when I’m called to adjust Pc
Agreed. I’ve always wondered how the canon AF system works. This video perfectly explains every aspect of the system, glad that TH-cam recommended it to me. ❤
10/10 thank you so much. As a self-taught concert photographer a lot of the settings on the 'big boy' cameras just go straight over my head, but videos like this really make me realise how insanely powerful the modern dslr can be. can't wait to try and implement all of this!
I’ve been looking for photography instruction like this for literal years. Extremely thorough presentation and helpful information. Really appreciate your videos!
It was great listening to you and you just say everything that everyone wants to hear. I was just "glued" to your video and you don't ramble on about any useless information at all. I shall be watching more of your material as your are just great! Thank you.
Great tutorial! No fluff as advertised. For me, being Swedish, I especially can relate to Canadian conditions, be it outdoors, wildlife and ice hockey. Great!
Totally agree with Cynthia's comment. This is the first time I watched one of your videos, and I was extremely impressed. You did a better job of explaining Canon's autofocus settings and, more importantly, how and why to apply them, than any other TH-camr I've seen. That includes those I highly regard, such as Canon's own Rudy Winston and Explorer of Light David Bergman. Thanks so much for the great video. I've subscribed to your channel and will be looking through your archive for more content to watch.
thanks for the video, great help! An additional suggestion: I reconfigured the depth of field Button to change between ai servo and one shot autofocus on my R6.
Wow. Great video. I just bought a Canon R7 and was looking for a great tutorial on auto focusing. This was it! The length of the video was perfect. No joking around or trying to entertain. Pure information which I truly appreciate. Count me as a new subscriber.
Shot a whole talking head video last night and in the edit realised I was slightly out of focus. Couldn’t work out why my camera wasn’t autofocusing. Trawled through a ton of vids and saved yours to watch this morning. First few minutes - problem solved! Servo! Thanks so much. Have subbed!
Best step-by-step tutorial for auto-focus features of Canon R cameras I have seen. I actually got my EOS R, set it up on my tripod, and 'walked' thru this video - hitting 'pause' frequently so I could stop an familiarize myself with each setting...and finally know why I was doing it! I always knew what kind of results I wanted with my auto-focusing for different situations, but frankly didn't know how! The settings available for the EOS R are a wee bit different than the R5, but its close enough that I was able to apply the lessons of this video to my own camera with ease. Thanks, Simon! All your videos are 'Master Class' quality!
Finally, a thorough AND understandable explanation of the four Cases! I had never paid much attention to their importance before, having been a Canon user for only a few months.
The delivery of explaining Tracking Sensitivity is a master class and thank you, I recently played around with these settings and completely messed it up cause I didn't know what I was doing. But now I am back on track after watching this video, thanks again and I've clicked the subscribed button.
Having recently studied my autofocus settings on my Panasonic to hopefully get the best settings for bird photography, I found this very useful and could easily identify similar settings on my camera to the Canon system.
First I was scared to click your videos because you look really strickt, but now I worked up the courage and did not regret. Lots of information, great content, great teaching skills and of course wonderful photos. Just got an r6 and planning to use it with a sigma 150-600mm, so all your videos are really helpful! Thank you :)
I upgraded from a 200D to an R7 this summer, it is a big jump up from a 200D, so lots to learn, and this has been the best explanation of the AF system yet.
Thank you. Your videos have quickly become my favorites! Excellent presentation and delivery. It is wonderful to know that technically (and artistically) proficient photographers do exist and love sharing their knowledge, tricks, experience and tips. Merci!
Well this is the third video of yours that I’ve watched and the third time I’m leaving a comment. Your videos are pure gold and the best part is I’m not even a wildlife photographer I’m a landscape and portrait/corporate photographer but I’m learning a ton about motion and tracking amongst other things. I’m definitely taking these principles and applying them to two projects I have coming up. And thanks for the info on what the settings are on Nikon as well!
Great video Simon, I watched one a few days ago, where the different cases were mentioned. Didn't have a clue. Now, wow, I understand it. Thank you so much. Off to watch the back button focus video, then go outside.
I spent a couple days in a camp ground nearby with my R5 and 100-500 lens. I had questions in the field that I new would get answered once I reviewed your video library. This method of learning the settings from field to computer seat time seems to work well for me. If I only take one tid-bit of information back to the field each time then this will be a huge success. Thanks again for your videos! Haven't watched them all, but intend too.
@@simon_dentremont A picture of a squirrel sitting on a limb is my first wildlife photo that I intend to crop then print and display in my camper. Your encouragement is well received. YES, this beginner is hooked!
Thank you Simon... You explained the Canon systems, but your explanations and scenarios were so clear I can understand my Sony much better. Great video
I am a new owner of a Canon R5 MK II as well as a Canon R6 MK II. After many years of using a Canon 5D MK II and a Canon 59D (APS-C) I noticed that the auto focus is jumpier than it was on my previous models. I am going to adjust my settings on both bodies to have the cameras set to meet my personal needs. In the future, I am planning on shooting a total solar eclipse in Sydney. I will be using the :R5 MK II and R6 MK II for this project.
Simon, I am very happy that I discovered your channel! You did an excellent job of breaking down the focus settings, especially since I also use an R5. Thank you!
This is incredibly helpful! I'm mostly using my Canon SL3 to video my painting process and I think I just learned how to stop it from jumping to focus solely on my hands.
thank you for the great explanation of different cases! I have applied these to c1-c3 on my R5. One for portrait, one for slow moving animals, and ones for birds in flight.
Like you've said in other videos, freeze the action. Thanks to your videos I'm sporting a high shutter speed, minimal 1/focal length 1/1000 or faster for birds in flight. Lowest aperture setting the lens will do. Your advice for auto ISO was huge for me. Using and understanding the histogram. Thank you so much for all your videos!
Hi Simon. Just wanted to say I love your videos. You've just received a new subscriber. Your videos are ridiculously informative, and I feel like I learn more about photography watching them now than I ever have in my whole time learning this hobby. They're easy to follow and understand, and it's clear you know what you're doing behind a lens. I love seeing your wildlife pictures as well. It's also a bonus that you shoot with Canon.
Thanks for the info. I have had trouble with Auto Focus and Settings, but it's getting better thanks to you, and thanks to much practice. I really enjoy your 'straight to the point' style. Keep 'em coming Simon!
Phenomenal informative series of instructional videos that I have somehow managed to find, the best on TH-cam by none. I have been looking for something like this on & off for a while now. Thanks for all your tips n tricks… and your ability to relate to us photography enthusiasts…..
I very often find myself coming back to your older videos to sharpen and train my skills with my Canon RP. Thank you SO MUCH for everything that you do.
I have an old 5dm4 and this is the first time anyone has explain the Canon features so easily that an enthusiast can understand. I’m going on a river cruise and plan to take plenty of landscape photos topside on a slow moving boat, what video would you recommend for this situation? Thanks
Great tips on tracking sensitivity! A great reminder that I need to pay more attention to which case I'm using. I had my two back buttons set to use different cases for the longest time, without really thinking about why.
beside light & color u need a super technical knowledge too.. this man should be called as the god of cameras.😃 wishing to attend his 'field workshop' smday.
Thank you, R5 is my first mirrorless camera with an array of RF glass to go with it. Your vid was perfect in its explanation, and will help me convey that to my partner who has an R7....
Very pleased to have found this video! Answer most of the questions I had about the AF on my new R5.

Simon, I’m the tech guy who reads the entire manual and watches 30 minutes videos from FroKnowsPhoto to understand all the camera settings. Yet, the second half of the video was all new to me 🤯. Je suis flabbergasté!
I just want to take this time to thank you Simon for making these videos as they are extremely helpful. I truly appreciate this channel and I’m glad I’m able to take what I’ve learned on this channel out in the field. Thanks again and keep on rocking!
Very useful information and well presented with good, live, still life setups, as well as example photo & video illustrations that demonstrate exactly what is likely to happen with the focus in a given situation that one is likely to encounter. Thanks!
Very informative video. I upgraded from a 7D mk1 to an R6 earlier this year, and hadn’t been getting the results I was expecting. Hopefully this will start me going in the right direction.

Thank you for the detailed scoop especially about the four cases. I mainly shoot birds of prey with the R5 using my 400mm f4 prime and 800mm 5.6 prime lenses … primarily nesting bald eagles in my area. Case 2 going left (minus) is a game changer especially when the eagles are delivering sticks or prey to the nest. I am so appreciative of your educational topics. Judy
Thank you for another great video. I think I am am finally understanding these function a little better. This will be rewatched, with camera in hand ready to experiment.
THANK YOU for providing examples that are easy to understand. Such a great video. Wish I would have watched it right when I got my camera, would have saved me a lot of grey hairs and money on online courses.
As always, Simon, you have some of the very best photography videos, you cover great subjects, you explain them very well and you get right to the point it is a bonus tip. I also on a canon R5, so it makes it very easy to follow along. Keep up the good work and will keep giving you a thumbs up.👍👍👍👍👍
Simon i cant thank you enough thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise your lesson have helped me to improve. i really appriciate it much respect for you.
Great description of the different options,how they work and when to use which focus option. What made this the best video I have seen on this subject was your use of examples that were so easy to relate to.
Simon - a bit of a random comment but I've been binging on your videos and kudos for how you've improved. The first videos I watched were some of your most recent ones and I wondered if you were also a public speaker. As I've seen some of your older ones, none of them bad, but you seemed a little bit more wooden in your delivery. You clearly have worked on your delivery and have gotten especially good!
Great tutorial to help me with my new R6!! Loved how each AF option was described with real life scenarios. Definitely made it easier to understand. Thank you Simon!!!!
Great explanation Simon. I have put the adjustment to the AF case menus (accelerate /decelerate etc) into My Menu so that they are easily accessible when I want to make adjustments without having to dive into the AF menu section first.
What’s the most important setting or technique you use to get the shot? Please share!
simon, very helpful, thanks so much

You have more great information in two sentences than most TH-camrs have in an entire video. Excellent tutorial.
Wow, thanks!
I agree. Very informative video
Agreed!
Because they are youtubers.. 😂
Have not seen a clear guide who does not waste a word! Hats off to you sir
