The table below will tell you whether any sort of AF is possible with your camera at f/8, but it will also try to provide up-to-date notes on which AF points work. Some cameras will only allow the AF to work with a central AF point, and some will allow AF with the full gamut of AF points. Every year Canon is expanding the capabilities of their AF systems and the result is that more and more cameras do feature AF at f/8, but to varying degrees. Whether a camera will autofocus with an f/8 max aperture actually doesn’t tell the whole story these days. In the future, I’ll also create a similar resource to tackle other relevant manufacturers such as Nikon.
It’s an often misunderstood subject in itself, but it also continuously raises questions about which cameras will still provide AF when used with a lens+extender combination that delivers a max aperture of f/8.įor now, I’m providing this information for Canon lenses because the majority of my lens and camera reviews in the past have been about Canon gear. But Sony had a few good things that I miss now, like working with Auto ISO, which is, when you really think about it, the first and only variable you want to have in an automatic mode.And yes, I work in full manual most of the time, but sometimes you just need the speed of A, or you want to concentrate more on the people or the surroundings then your camera.The subject of autofocus (AF) at an f/8 maximum aperture is something that often comes up in my writings about cameras, lenses and telephoto lens techniques for subjects like sport and wildlife. Just to add : I have been working with Canon professionally for 25 years, and switched to Sony 4 years ago ( A9 and A9II), moved back to Canon with the R5, and would have been totally happy if I came straight from EOS 5 IV. When using *h, AE lock hold, you can't at the same time lock exposure with the shutterbutton. Possibility to move focus point when shutter is half-pressed Flash-photography: possibility to influence brightness/exposure of EVF in Exposure Simulation Off Mode( you might be looking at a silhouette when photographing a person in front of a window, and exposing for light outside)
Switch off sensor and close shutter when detaching a lens, instead of turning camera off, change lens, turn camera on again. Direct switching to full electronic shutter, don't want to switch off anti-flicker first, I know anti-flicker doesn't work in electronic. Tracking should be possible in ALL AF modes. To speed up manual, when using *h ( exposure lock hold) in M, and changing aperture, shutterspeed should change to obtain exposure.
Direct acces to minimum shutter speed with AutoISO ( or a Safety Shift in M and AutoISO, basically the same).There are four ( !) dials, come on.!
