Hello, is it possible to switch from A mode to M mode preserving current settings for aperture, shutter speed, ISO?
Just like TCM button on Godox‘s X-pro flash trigger.

Just not worth the effort.

Thank you Pye. This was very helpful. Shooting portraits wide open is such a struggle for me, more particularly, if I am shooting more than one subject. Thank you for this.

Hey! Im a beginner photographer that own a nikon d700 and a prime 50mm 1.8. Ive been struggling with focus on f/2.8 for full body photos since most of the time the face isnt completely focused. I focus on the eyes but since i have no eye tracker nor that pixel focus you talked about ive been struggling. I really cannot afford upgrading my camera body nor lense atm but id really love to capture that amazing bukeh while having my models in focus. Do you have any tips ? Thank you for your time.

Brilliant tips. I still use a monopod for most and tripod if I'm doing more. handheld looks cool but tires quickly w/ heavy gear & noddlely arms. hehe.

What if eye focus is only locking on to one person

I think this is the first one I've seen (and I've watched a lot) that doesn't just parrot the same things like aperture and shutter speed. Sure, you have to address these, but you also expanded on other factors that will affect the picture.

I find this video very useful. I learned something new today about the distance that could affect how deep the DOF would be. I consider myself new to photography, bought my sony a6400 early this year hoping to can make side pocket out of it. Thank you.

P/S: Your voice is so soothing. It's like I'm listening to a midnight show on a radio while driving in a cold night.

Hi Pye you are absolutely right because I had those bad shots experience

@CyclingOffToSomewhereIDK 20 October 2024 - 8:11 pm

Quick question. You mentioned verifying sharpness in one of the bonus tips. How is that done other than viewing the image on the LCD? If that''s it, is it good enough to use? Just curious. I had been just using the lcd to check exposure, hadn't thought to use it to check for sharpness because everyone says it's not good enough quality to really rely on. Thanks

By 'pixel based focussing ' I presume that you mean focus peaking?
