It is particularly suitable for subjects with high contrast. It is a mode that detects color and light intensity to ensure optimal tracking of the subject with 3D tracking, especially when moving sideways. The AF area mode with 3D tracking allows you to use all collimators to focus. Selective-point AF area mode lets you choose a single collimator to focus on.ĭynamic-area AF mode lets you use multiple targets for more precise focusing. To focus, cameras offer different areas for selecting collimators.Īuto AF area mode lets the camera use all the targets to focus. MAP is performed when one or more points are lit and fixed.Ī green dot also indicates good focus at the bottom of the viewfinder. The crosshairs are not physically represented in the viewfinder. Increases the chances of being able to take perfect focus according to the orientation of the subject. Take a vertical and a horizontal rectangle and you get a cross. Or square, it’s the same thing, but you’ll understand why. Horizontal collimatorsįocusing will be easier when using horizontal collimators if the subject is oriented vertically.

They will be useful for photographing horizontal subjects.Ĭonversely, autofocus will have more difficulty focusing. These are important for successful focusing. The different collimators and their functions The collimators are represented by squares and rectangles with dots inside. However, it is important to understand how autofocus works to avoid focusing errors. The autofocus system focuses automatically without the need to rotate anything. The last way to get a subject in focus is to rely on autofocus. Then simply turn the focus ring on your lens to make the picture clear everywhere, using a small aperture or only part of it, if you have chosen a shallow depth of field (large aperture).Ī green dot at the bottom of the viewfinder indicates that the focus is good.

When you start out in photography, you don’t always know where the blur you see in your images comes from, and that’s when the confusion between the different blurs arises.īecause, yes, blur can set up in different ways.Ī missed focus in automatic mode is often due to a wrong choice of the collimator or autofocus mode. If you’re just starting out and have already encountered problems with blurry photos, then it’s likely that that a mis-focusing error is the cause.įor the most novice among you, I remind you that focusing in a photo is the action of to bring a subject or an image into focus as a whole.
