Get Mastery Over Manual focus

here are some of the important steps, which you need to remember or apply to get mastery over manual focus.

Capture Your First Image Right Now

If you have any photoshoots today or if you don’t have any !! then just capture some random pictures today.

capture every single image with this type of Focus.

to shoot images with this type of focus you must need to turn on the Manual Focus (MF) which you can see on your D-SLR’s lens.

see this image to know the perfect position of this MF and AF mode.

here AF for Autofocus and MF for Manual focus.

and then just capture !!, I know it’s hard and weird but this is the basic thing you need to do to use this Manual Focus.

because when I started capturing images using this type of Focus, it’s really too late so I hope it’s not that late for you.

Do enough Practice

That’s the golden key to archive greatness over this type of Focus.

once you know how to capture an image using Manual Focus you can capture anything within some milliseconds.

so for practice, I share my personal method to make your Manual Focus level so high, this method is so simple.

for this, you just need one or two objects you can choose anything(the object must be a non-living thing like a pen,smart-phone, sharpener, eraser, etc).

but keep some distance and try to capture each object using this type of Focus.

three different ways to do this exercise

1.capture only one object sharp and another blur.

2. Capture the Second object sharp and the first blur

take three objects, put all object’s in one row then

3.Capture middle object sharp and first/third blur.

practice makes the man perfect, and that’s the basic practice you need to do again and again to get mastery over this type of Focus.

Important Things To Do after Learning Manual Focus

once you learn this method then you need more accuracy, yes accuracy matters a lot after knowing and learning this type of Focus.

the reason behind this is that when you get more accuracy, you can able to capture images very quickly, and right now you’re only able to capture non-living things by using this type of Focus.

so to capture living things like a bird, model or insects you need more accuracy, more speed so that is the reason to get more accuracy on Manual Focus.

This accuracy is the answer to Manual Focus’s benefits if accuracy is good then

macro photography (butterfly,insects etc)- possible

Sharper images – possible

More quickly you can capture –possible

Night photography – possible

So for all these reasons now you can understand why this type of Focus is more beneficial than Auto Focus.
