Canon Auto Focus Explained with Canon Technical Advisor Rudy Winston

*** THERE IS AN UPDATED 2025 VERSION OF THIS SHOW HERE: https://youtu.be/eIxK8B-_Kn8 NOTE: I have had a few requests for a transcript of this show. You can find two link to a Whisper generated U.S. English Transcript in the blog post - link below. One is a straight transcript, and the other is broken into timestamp segments. Join Rudy Winston, a Technical Advisor in the Product Planning Dept. for Canon USA, and me as we take a deep dive into the amazing auto-focus systems available in the current line of Canon cameras, on this Behind the Shot. NOTE: This is not an official Canon USA show. This is a podcast first and foremost, and Canon was kind enough to allow my guest, Rudy Winston, to come speak about the Canon AF system options. This is not intended to be a technical training, but a conversation with Rudy to better understand the choices you have in customizing the current line of Canon camera AF systems. Obviously, there are still some constraints here. I try to keep the shows at a reasonable length - for some behind the scenes reasons related to the podcast versions of the show - and my guests often have limited time as well. I have a lot of people that listen to the audio only version of the show, and so there will be times I inject myself into the conversation to be sure the topic we are discussing is absorbable by those without video, as well as to moderate time so that we can at least get to all of the planned topics. Still, my hope is that explaining the AF options one-at-a-time in some detail will help you to get more out of the camera system you have. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:26 - Interview with Rudy Winston 0:12:56 - General AF Questions 0:13:00 - AF Misconceptions 0:18:40 - Canon R5 AF Menu Page 1 0:20:16 - One-Shot AF vs. Servo AF 0:21:59 - AF Method: Eye AF 0:23:55 - AF Method: Spot AF & One Point AF 0:25:48 - AF Method: One Point AF 0:26:00 - AF Method: Expand AF Area 0:30:11 - Zone AF 0:32:12 - Subject to Detect: People, Animals, Vehicles 0:35:00 - Subject to Detect: Vehicle spot detection 0:36:32 - Eye AF 0:36:45 - Continuous AF 0:39:07 - Touch and Drag AF 0:41:27 - Canon R5 AF Menu Page 2 0:45:41 - Canon R5 AF Menu Page 3 0:45:48 - Servo AF Cases 0:57:36 - Canon R5 AF Menu Page 4 0:57:45 - Lens Electronic MF 1:11:07 - Canon R5 AF Menu Page 5 1:35:58 - My Dual- Back-Button AF Setup 1:37:52 - Speed Round Q & A 1:40:04 - Rudy’s Photographer Pick 1:44:50 - Outro This Episode: Episode Blog Post: https://behindtheshot.tv/2022/02/25/canon-auto-focus-explained/ 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 Rudy's Photographer Pick: Anthony Neste: http://www.anthonynestephotography.com Ask David Bergman Episode on Dual Back-Button AF: Canon R5/R6 Fast Eye Autofocus Switching: https://youtu.be/kZXTn1i2A14 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) #Canon #auto-focus #autofocus
