Focussing with your DSLR

Focussing - Just because a modern digital SLR camera and lens set up has a reliable and automated system, it doesn't by any means guarantee pin sharp shots every time. It is a trap fallen into by many new "SLR photographers" who can't understand why some shots are blurred, normally caused by camera shake or poor focus techniques.

No matter how far technology progresses, there will always be a huge element of skill, practice and knowledge required in all aspects of photography.

Effective focus techniques is just one of them and the following are some of the different areas involved:

  • Focus Points - Which ones and how many to use.
  • Focus Modes - One shot or servo?
  • Autofocus or Manual?
  • Pre-focussing.
  • Panning.
  • Depth of field.
  • Lenses - Quality and types.
  • The subject - Size and speed.

All of these subjects have a bearing on whether your shot is in focus or not so we shall cover them one at a time.
