Wildlife Photography: Manual vs. Auto Focus

While doing wildlife photography should you use manual or auto focus? On safari, I go through my manual focus tricks.

We're in a really cool place for wildlife photography: Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It's one of the best places in the world do see wild cats, lions, and leopards. And even though we only have limited time here for our wildlife photography I want to make the most of it. I also wanted to talk about focus and whether you should use manual or auto focus in your photography.
Here in the park, the wildlife was being a bit elusive and I was a little worried that this video wasn't going to work. Then, out of nowhere we got 3 beautiful lions on the road and the perfect chance to do some wildlife photography using the manual focus peaking of the Canon EOS R.
And, there was plenty of other animals to photograph. We saw meer cats, ground squirrels, impala, giraffe, and, yes, the lions.

I ended the video with a little talk about the focusing modes for wildlife photography. I hope it helps.
