      Hi Jac, I have Sony FX30, and I'm using AF, with Focus Mode - Continuous auto focus and AF transition speed and AF subj. shift sensitivity at 4, some how when I take moving shot, like move the camera in a diameter angle, most of the objects are a bit out of focus or a bit blurry or lack of clarity. I use aperture at 7 or 8, and wide angle, there is no person involved, but when I upload the video to computer, my eyes feel a bit unease, because Im not able to see many things properly or read properly, because it is either a bit blurry or not able to read it, and if car pass by, then it will not be clearly visible. Do you know if I need to make any further adjustment. Im using shutter speed double the size of frames per second, that is for 30 - 60 as shutter speed. please help

    Hi Jaques,

    I really wish there was an option for Face Only AF, not just Face Priority. I really like when the focus holds when the subject leaves the frame. Great video btw!

    • @jmfrokka2354
      @jmfrokka2354 2 месяца назад

      I wonder what the best workaround for this would be. I have a button that switches from AF to MF, so perhaps that can be used as they are leaving and then turned back on when they re-enter? Perhaps we just max out the settings of subject tracking as well? Dunno.

    I was wondering what handle you were using that extends over the screen to easily allow you to tap focus areas is - around timestamp 2:44 for the left hand? Thank you so much for this video - can't wait to try out these new settings with my FX3. Although I wasn't able to setup the lens hold button on my sigma to set focus while in manual mode. The Set focus would just toggle between AF/MF even though I had it wasn't set to toggle them.

    Very very helpful informative video Jacques. Does touch subject continuous autofocus works while working with external on camera monitor with touch screen? so instead of using camera small screen I would touch subject on external monitor to focus and so? I believe Sony doesn't allow both its screen and external monitor to work simultaneously so I wonder how to take full advantage of Sony autofocus system while working external on camera monitor? Thanks heaps Jacques, get to learn a lot on your channel.
