Autofocus is not just one setting.

Sharp photographs depend on several decisions working together: shutter speed, ISO, exposure mode, autofocus mode, and the AF-area mode—or focus box—you choose.

In this episode, Joseph Nuzzo explains why photographers often blame autofocus when the real problem may be motion blur, an ISO limit that is too restrictive, the wrong exposure mode, or an AF-area mode that does not match the subject.

You’ll learn how each part of the autofocus system affects the final image, how to diagnose soft photographs more accurately, and when the camera really may be the problem.

Because autofocus does not begin when the camera finds the subject. It begins with the decisions you make before pressing the shutter.

Your Camera Is Not the Problem is hosted by photographer and educator Joseph Nuzzo of Shutter Speak.

Better photography starts before the shutter button.
