Back Button Focus - Why and How (With Canon Setup, AF-On)

I learned about back button focus very early in the photography career and I could never go back to shooting without it. I use it full time for wildlife photography, wedding photography, portraiture, sports photography. Whether I'm photographing a model or capturing fast paced action like birds in flight, back button focus gets me the tack sharp shots I need.

In this episode I share this pro tip and explain it in simple terms so you can start using it yourself.

No more missing shots while you switch autofocus modes. I explain the difference between One Shot / AF-S and AI SERVO / AF-C. And, I show you the Canon DSLR camera menus so you can customize the settings for your camera and use the AF-On button to get sharp focus every time.

Your thumb on the AF-ON button controls the focus for everything you shoot in autofocus. I can lock focus and recompose, or track subjects in motion instantly.
