Introduction to the Canon 7D vol. 1 : Basic Controls Training DVD by Blue Crane Digital

[Music] we already talked a little bit about selecting a focus point and where to focus the camera but how do we decide when to focus you may be taking a portrait of someone standing completely still or you may be at the zoo where an animal's movement is unpredictable when the camera focus this will have an impact on the quality of your image the 7d has a setting appropriate to each of those situations and one for everything in between you can access the autofocus mode options on the quick control screen or when you press AF Drive and turn the main data choose an AF mode your options are one shot ai focus and AI servo with one shot the camera locks the focus when you have press the shutter release if proper focus is achieved the focus indicator will appear in the viewfinder and the camera will sound a soft beep this setting is good for stationary shots such as portraits or landscapes no
