How To Use Af-On And Back Button Autofocus Canon – Wildlife Photography

There’s a lot of controversy about how to use Af-On and Back Button Autofocus Canon cameras. Today I’m exploring the focus modes available, back button focus, AF-stop focus and explaining how to use back button focus for wildlife and bird photography.

BACK STORY
===========
I make videos mostly about what I believe to be important in nature photography and for me, this is the behind the scenes story of how I get some of my shots. It’s not easy to juggle between stills and video and I don’t always capture video footage of the wildlife, a usable still and a piece-to-camera explaining the shot. When I do, I try to put it together to tell a story here on Youtube or to share some info that will help you to capture similar shots.

It’s always difficult to pitch the information to the right level. I don’t often talk about camera settings or equipment because in most cases it’s possible to capture versions of the shot with different settings and different gear – there is no perfect solution. There is instead, a range of them.

I’ve found that this is often difficult to explain to beginners who typically want to follow a script.

Wildlife photography doesn’t really have many scripts, we are confronted by a range of problems and it is experience, practice, and patience that offer the best solutions.

Beyond camera gear and settings, wildlife photography, like life, becomes a game of chance and calculated opportunity. It’s this experience that I hope to share in most of my videos because this is what really makes the difference between a snapshot and a wildlife photograph.
