It’s Time to Focus People: Understanding Autofocus Modes on your Camera

Serious, professional photographers are always working hard, manually focusing in on every shot that they take, right? Probably not. You see, like the rest of us, those pros have access to cameras that have autofocus features.

Whatever type of photography you chose to pursue, whether it’s macro photography or simply taking fun, family photographs, you’re going to either be shooting subjects that are stationary or moving. With the three basic autofocus modes available on most DSLR cameras – Single Shot, Continuous or Hybrid – you should have all the bases covered to capture subjects that are sitting still, moving around a lot, or for those subjects where you’re not really sure what state of movement they might be in the moment that you snap the shot.

These three modes give you the power to capture crystal clear, almost perfectly focused photographs, no matter what kind of subject you are shooting. However, you may want to play around with the various modes under different settings, just to see what the end results are. The more you become familiar with how your camera works on the various autofocus modes, the better prepared you’ll be as a photographer.
