I’m coming from old camera that does not have tracking capability and always imagine will be nice with more modern camera that have that capabilty..now that I have it, am trying shooting travel portrait of family that is stationary but still moving a little using AF-C and eye detection, the focus detect great but the results often not sharp. From reading around, it because the last moment movement before press shutter to capture.. so now I’m struggle because AFC does not make my photography easier with moving person than with AFS with old camera. Appreciate if you can share tips on how to shoot travel portrait (I believe it can be similar to animal / pet that still can move the head), with f2 lens on AFC that will result tack sharp face and eye in most chances. thank you.
It wasn’t only helpful, It literally made me subscribe and move to your next video instantly. Thanks
Thank you so much for all of your advice ❤ I will apply what I learned here 😊
Going on Safari in Uganda and Tanzania for the first time and hoping not to screw up the photos. Shooting with a Fuji XH2 and a 150-600, so a crazy FF equivalent…. Is shooting from the vehicle while its also hot outside a problem for heat shimmer?
