@RingofFire1 FYI: I’ve sent the question to Canon so he can be prepared to answer it when we record n t week.

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

Do you have Auto Focus questions for Canon?

I’m recording an updated “Canon Auto Focus Explained” show next week.

Send me your AF questions for Canon.

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

@RingofFire1 Interesting. Well, contrast is a key component of the detecting, but it should not pick non eyes iver clearly visible ones.

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

@RingofFire1 Does that question interpretation make sense?

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

@RingofFire1 Have you tried changing which face is selected?

For example, in a scene with 5 people, or your case with 1 person and a snowman, you can move the AF between eyes.

When it picks it's default face/eye. press the AF Point Selection button, then use the joystick to switch faces.

[Jeff Harmon @harmon_jeff]

I learned a lot with the first rendition of Steve’s exceptional podcast. What Canon auto focus questions do you have?

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

@harmon_jeff Thank you, sir!

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

@RingofFire1 Sorry, one more thing… this is why I have dual-back-button AF. If eye tracking fails, because a singer may be wearing a hat or something like that, I can easily switch to point AF.

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

@RingofFire1 Michael is getting inconsistent results from the eye tracking, as it seems to be deciding what to focus on. For him it misses over 50% of the time.

2/2

[Behind The Shot @BehindTheShotTV]

@RingofFire1 Thanks for the question. In fairness, I wouldn’t word it like that to Canon. I’m glad they’re coming back on to do this, so I don’t want questions to sound like complaints, better to sound like we are looking for help. So how abouy something like:
