(You may learn extra concerning the R6 Mark II right here)
One thing we LOVE about this digital camera is the attention detection know-how
Within the outdated days, we needed to manually transfer the multi-controller with our thumb (we name it the “toggle” button) so as to transfer our focus level to our topic’s eye.
The “toggle” button is right here:
Toggling labored fantastic.
It’s what we used FOR YEARS.
It was a little bit gradual but it surely was the most effective there was.
(Enter mirrorless cameras)
Mirrorless cameras have INCREDIBLE eye detection know-how, so as an alternative of US manually transferring the “toggle” button with our thumb till the main target level is hovering over our topic’s eye…
THE CAMERA FINDS OUR SUBJECT’S EYE FOR US!
AND FAST!
This. Is. A. Sport. Changer.
This setting makes us a lot FASTER as shooters.
Meaning we’re capable of nail a greater variety of poses and attention-grabbing compositions in LESS time, all whereas making our consumer expertise even higher!
That’s why we set our AF-On button to make use of the automated eye-tracking detection once we shoot.
Like all know-how although… it’s not excellent.
Once we shoot portraits and there are solely just a few folks in our body, it’s virtually excellent, and we find it irresistible.
However once we’re at a marriage.
Or there are lots of people within the body…
The digital camera doesn’t at all times select the particular person WE would select to concentrate on.
For instance, when the bride is coming down the aisle, or up on the altar, the digital camera may by chance select to concentrate on one of many friends within the crowd.
It might probably cease your coronary heart when the focus does this.
And picks… NOT THE BRIDE
Discuss a panic second!
Particularly throughout one thing essential like an aisle stroll!
That’s why we even have good ol’ conventional toggle concentrate on one other again button (*).
This fashion, if eye detection chooses the WRONG particular person, we will merely swap our thumb from the AF-ON button to the * button in a split-second.
We name this star button our “handbook override.”
Consider it like a pilot.
Eye detection is autopilot.
Conventional focus is the pilot grabbing management of the airplane.
We hope this mirrorless digital camera setting helps YOU be a quicker and simpler shooter!
