Canon Auto-Focus Explained, 2025 Update, with Canon USA Technical Marketing Consultant, Rudy Winston

#Canon #auto-focus #autofocus CORRECTION: During the Servo AF Character discussion on Accel / Decel Tracking Rudy inadvertently reversed the descriptions (we've all don it).

Join Rudy Winston, Technical Marketing Consultant for @CanonUSA, and me as we take a deep dive into the amazing auto-focus systems available in the current line of Canon cameras, using the Canon EOS R1 as the example, on this Behind the Shot. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:54 - Disclaimers & Expectations 00:06:57 - Introducing Canon Technical Marketing Consultant Rudy Winston 00:08:01 - Canon R1 AF Menu Tab - Page 1: AF Operations / Area 00:08:30 - AF Operation 00:12:27 - AF Area 00:38:04 - Whole Area Tracking Servo AF 00:41:26 - Canon R1 AF Menu Tab - Page 2: Subject Detection 00:41:37 - Subject to Detect 00:52:57 - Eye Detection 00:55:19 - Register People Priority 01:04:07 - Action Priority 01:10:01 - Canon R1 AF Menu Tab - Page 3: Servo AF Character 01:10:38 - Case: Auto 01:15:24 - Case: Manual 01:15:60 - Tracking Sensitivity 01:17:35 - Accel / Decel Tracking 01:19:51 - Canon R1 AF Menu Tab - Page 4: Customize AF Operation 01:21:53 - Servo 1st Image Priority 01:23:38 - One-Shot AF Release Prior 01:24:55 - Preview AF 01:27:55 - Len Drive When AF Impossible 01:30:03 - AF-Assist Beam Firing 01:34:33 - Canon R1 AF Menu Tab - Page 5: Customized Controls 01:34:47 - Limit AF Areas 01:36:22 - Orientation Linked AF Point 01:40:20 - Limit Subject to Detect 01:41:51 - L / R Eye Detection 01:42:25 - Canon R1 AF Menu Tab - Page 6: MF Related 01:42:38 - MF Peaking Settings 01:47:33 - Focus Guide 01:49:55 - Lens Electronic MF 01:59:44 - Canon R1 AF Menu Tab - Page 7: Various Settings 02:00:10 - Register / Recall AF-Related Settings 02:08:15 - AF Setting Guide URL 02:10:39 - Canon R1 Control Customization Menu Tab - Page 3: Customized Controls When Shooting 02:10:59 - AF Area Selection Control 02:13:37 - Sensitivity - AF Pt Select 02:14:56 - Focus Ring Rotation 02:16:32 - RF Lens MF Focus Ring Sensitivity 02:19:09 - Canon R1 Control Customization Menu Tab - Page 5: Customized Controls - Eye Control 02:39:22 - Listener / Viewer Questions 02:59:06 - My Dual-Back-Button AF Setup 03:06:54 - Outro Episode Blog Post: https://behindtheshot.tv/2025/01/11/canon-auto-focus-explained-2025-update/ Canon USA: Website: https://www.usa.canon.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canonusa/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/canonusa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canonusa/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/canonusa Ask David Bergman Episode on Dual Back-Button AF: Canon R5/R6 Fast Eye Autofocus Switching: https://youtu.be/kZXTn1i2A14 Connect with Steve Brazill: Portfolio: http://stevebrazill.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/SteveBrazill Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveBrazill Mastodon: https://mstdn.social/@SteveBrazill Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/stevebrazill.bsky.social Facebook: https://facebook.comSteveBrazillPhotography Buy Steve a Coffee (Diet Coke in my case): https://buymeacoffee.com/stevebrazill Behind the Shot Podcast: Website: https://behindtheshot.tv YouTube: https://youtube.com/behindtheshot Video Feeds: iTunes Video: https://itunesvideo.behindtheshot.tv Podchaser: https://podchaservideo.behindtheshot.tv Podcast Index: https://podcastindexvideo.behindtheshot.tv Deezer Video: https://deezer.behindtheshot.tv Audio Feeds: iTunes Audio: https://itunesaudio.behindtheshot.tv Google Podcasts: https://googlepodcasts.behindtheshot.tv Spotify: https://spotify.behindtheshot.tv Amazon Music: https://amazon.behindtheshot.tv Pandora: https://pandora.behindtheshot.tv iHeart: https://iheart.behindtheshot.tv Stitcher: https://stitcher.behindtheshot.tv Podchaser: https://podchaseraudio.behindtheshot.tv Podcast Index: https://podcastindexaudio.behindtheshot.tv Tunein: https://tunein.behindtheshot.tv Deezer Audio: https://deezer.behindtheshot.tv Social: Twitter: https://twitter.behindtheshot.tv (@BehindTheShotTV) Facebook: https://facebook.behindtheshot.tv (@BehindTheShotTV) Instagram: https://instagram.behindtheshot.tv (@BehindTheShotTV) Flickr: https://flickr.behindtheshot.tv Steve Brazill: Portfolio: http://stevebrazill.com Instagram: https://instagram.stevebrazill.com (@SteveBrazill) Twitter: https://twitter.stevebrazill.com (@SteveBrazill) Facebook: https://facebook.stevebrazill.com (@Steve Brazill Photography)
