Since AF establishes focus quickly, it is very convenient in most situations. But sometimes there are subjects or scenes that are not ideal for establishing focus. It is wise to switch to MF when the situation calls for it.

EOS 5D Mark III/ EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM/ FL: 70mm/ Aperture-priority AE (f/2.8, 1/400 sec, EV+0.6)/ ISO 100/ WB: Daylight

UV Usage Tips: Utilizing the UV grow light during the final three weeks of flowering for up to two hours per light cycle.

When the subject happens to be in a very dark place, when it is a low contrast scene or when it is a scene where the subject is sometimes blocked by nearer objects (such as when photographing animals in a cage), AF cannot establish focus easily. When faced with these situations, switch the focus switch on your lens from AF to MF. By switching to MF, we can establish focus by adjusting the focusing ring by hand.

The implementation of Dual Pixel CMOS AF in Canon's latest camera models have vastly improved shooting conditions in Live View. Live View, which features fast AF speed that measures up to viewfinder AF, is gradually becoming the choice method of shooting for many photographers. In the following, we will explain more about the characteristics of Live View. (Reported by: Tomoko Suzuki)

Next, use the Main Dial, the Quick Control Dial or the touchscreen to select your preferred AF point. Here, the point to the left of the centre AF point is selected.

Know the “AF Lock” shooting technique, this is a way of taking photos in AF mode where the focus is first established before fine-tuning the composition of the photo.

Shutter-priority AE mode is a shooting mode that is useful for when you want to ‘freeze’ subjects in action, or conversely, photograph moving subjects with motion blur. Read on to find out how you can use it! (Reported by Tomoko Suzuki)

1. Establish focus in AF-ON mode 2. Press the shutter button to release the shutter Use the AF-ON button (or AE Lock button) to establish the focus, then release the shutter with the shutter button. When you want to reestablish the focus, all you have to do is to press AF-ON again.

Want to create photographs with a lovely background blur (bokeh effect), or perhaps ensure that everything in the image remains in focus? The Aperture-priority AE mode is a convenient mode to use for achieving those effects. Let’s look at this mode in closer detail. (Reported by Tomoko Suzuki)

First, manually select the active AF point. Choose the AF area/point that is located closest to the subject of interest in your ideal composition. Although AF Lock can be applied with any AF area mode, in general, the centre AF point should have the highest precision and is the best choice when dealing with dark scenes.

As we can observe the subject while we adjust the focus in MF, it makes it possible to establish a more precise focus. Nevertheless, the whole process takes more time. We have to spend time establishing focus before we can go into the actual shooting.

In most shooting scenes, AF can do a good job of establishing focus. When shooting photos in AF mode, all it takes is to simply press the shutter button lightly (“half-press” the shutter button) to activate the AF and AE functions,and the camera takes care of the rest. Once focus has been established, press the shutter button down (“full-press” the shutter button).

Note: If you have the SF1000 light, it is recommended to complement it with a 23.6” supplemental light bar for use in the Spider Farmer 2.3′ x 2.3′ x 5.2′ grow tent.

Establishing focus is a basic skill in photo taking. There are two ways to establish focus. The first is through autofocus (AF) operation, where the camera automatically establishes focus. The second is through manual focus (MF) operation, where the photographer adjusts the focus by hand.

When taking photographs, you want to have a good grasp of shutter speed and its effects on your photographs. What kind of effects can you create with a faster or slower shutter speed? Let us examine the effects of different shutter speeds with the help of the following examples. (Reported by: Tomoko Suzuki)

Normally, when the shutter button is half pressed, AF (focus establishment) and AE (exposure determination) are activated simultaneously. But by customizing the camera, we can get AF and AE to operate independently. You do this by operating the AF with the AF-ON button in the back of the camera (or the AE lock button), and the AE with the shutter button. We call this technique the back-button AF technique.

When establishing focus on a subject, it is vitally important to anticipate the subject’s movement and capture it at the right moment. This means it is essential to know the appropriate autofocus (AF) mode to use for a stationary subject, and which to use when the subject is moving. Let us take a closer look at the 3 types of AF modes. (Reported by Tomoko Suzuki)

The first thing to consider when taking photographs with a digital camera is the effect that the aperture can have on your pictures. How will the photograph finish change depending on the aperture is widened or narrowed? In this article, we study the effects of varying apertures on depth-of-field by comparing several examples, and learn about the concept of f-stops. (Reported by Tomoko Suzuki)

If you want control over both the aperture and the shutter speed, Manual exposure mode is the way to go. It might be quite a tough mode to conquer for a beginner, but also can be very convenient to achieve certain shooting intentions. In this final article in our Camera Basics series, we take a closer look at this mode and what it can be used for. (Reported by Tomoko Suzuki)

She has also worked as an assistant to photographers including Kirito Yanase, and specializes in commercial shoots for apparels and cosmetic products. She now works as a studio photographer for an apparel manufacturer.

This is what AF is all about—shooting good pictures with very simple operations. For more control over the composition of your photos, you can pre-select the active AF area (or AF point) during autofocus operations.

I established focus on a cat that appeared all of a sudden with the back-button AF technique, engaged AF Lock and then fine-tuned the scene. I managed to try out different compositions continuously with the help of the technique.

Press the AF point selection button (circled in red) to display the screen for Single-point AF (Manual selection). *If another mode is displayed, change the mode using the AF area selection button.

White balance is a feature that ensures that the colour white is reproduced accurately regardless of the type of lighting under which a photo is taken. At a very basic level, it is common to use the Auto White Balance setting. However, this setting is no one-size-fits-all solution. For a white balance setting that best suits the lighting source, choose one of the preset white balance settings on your camera.(Reported by Tomoko Suzuki)

When it comes to shooting, a vital part of the camera is the viewfinder. Nowadays, there are cameras that do not come with viewfinders, only with Live View shooting. However, as you get more experienced with photography, you will realise how much shooting with a viewfinder can affect your photos. In this article, we take a closer look at the viewfinder.

Exposure is one of the major factors that can make or break a picture. Let us talk about how we can go about make best use of exposure to get the best results from a shot (Reported by: Tomoko Suzuki)

- “AF” refers to “autofocus”. This is when the camera tunes itself to establish the best focus when taking a photo. - “MF” refers to “manual focus”. This is when the photographer adjusts the focus manually to establish the focus.

Experience the ultimate cultivation synergy by combining our UV, IR, and R supplemental light bars:The Spider Farmer bar-style light design enables the convenient placement of three Supply series supplemental light bars between every two bars.

The advantage of this technique is that when the camera is in AF Lock mode, there is no need to keep the shutter button half pressed. Once focus is established with the AF-On button, the point of focus is fixed, and won’t change even when you remove your finger from the button.

Benefits: Can observe the subject with our own eyes as we establish focus Drawbacks: Takes more time before we can actually shoot

Everything I have read seems to promote deep red diodes for stunning flower blooming. I am just a beginner with orchids and their needs. I think adding this supplemental red light bar will promote fast growth. Already seeing some success since setting this light bar up. I will try to edit this post at a later date. I’m expecting good results.

Next, align the selected AF point with any part of your intended subject, and press the shutter halfway. When the camera has established focus, leave the button half pressed and fine tune the composition. When that is done, press down fully and complete the shoot.

The Program AE mode, a semi-automatic mode where the camera automatically sets the aperture and shutter speed, enables you to shoot quickly to capture sudden photographic opportunities, and yet still retain creative control over other settings such as white balance.

If you can master the technique of AF Lock, you can place the primary subject (that you established focus on) anywhere within the image frame—not just in the centre.

In some main light sources, a few 660nm deep red diodes may just be a marketing gimmick, and in reality, their intensity may be insufficient.

But AF is not perfect and there is a limit to what it can do. Sometimes, the subject or the scene makes it difficult or even impossible to establish focus. When up against these situations, make good use of MF. By looking through the viewfinder and turning the focusing ring with our hands, we can establish the focus just as well too. Since we can enlarge the focus area when in Live View mode, it is possible to establish focus more precisely.

With the Picture Style function, you can adjust the colour tone and the contrast to enhance the charm and appeal of the subject. By selecting the perfect Picture Style setting, you can get perfect results in expressing your shooting intent in a vivid photo. (Reported by Tomoko Suzuki)
