Using AF points on Evaluative metering mode

Canon camera has many AF points for you to take a dashing photo and this article display the simplicity of how to manually use the AF point to do the right job. You just need to select the appropriate AF point on the evaluative metering. Ensure that you have a red highlighted rectangle on the subject that you are focusing before you snap the dashing photo.

Below are some examples that display the result of the selected AF point on the photo that was taken. You might need to click on those images to enlarge the photo examples in order to view the selected AF point (red rectangle).

Getting the crisp on the rubber ducky instead of the whale soap dish. This means that my subject is the rubber ducky and I should get a feathered blur on anything that is behind the rubber ducky. How do I do that?




Choose manual for the AF points, this will allow you to manually select a AF point that you desire. Manually selecting the AF point that is on the rubber ducky, the above image shows a red highlighted rectangle over the subject that is the selected AF point. Now take a snap of it and always review the shot that you have taken.


Great! Are you getting the hang of it? Let us play with it more. The above image shown the crisp on the whale soap dish that is further away from the camera instead of the rubber ducky that is closer to the camera. This means that my subject is the whale soap dish and I should get a feathered blur on anything that is infront of the whale soap dish. How do I do that?


Just repeat the previous process by manually selecting the AF point. Ensure that you have selected the AF point on the whale soap dish, the above image shows a red highlighted rectangle over the subject that is the selected AF point. Now, take a snap of it and review the photo that you have taken.

Excellent! Now, we know that "Digital SLR cameras have many AF points, you can select the AF point, use focus lock, and capture the shot" but always remember to "select the AF point manually to focus the target subject."
