Canon R5 and R6 : Autofocus Setup for Bird Photography (Online Class)

The autofocus system on these cameras provides several new features along with a seemingly endless number of possibilities for how to configure it. We will discuss these new features and also take a detailed look at how I have chosen to configure the AF-related settings specifically for bird photography. My goal is to keep things simple while maintaining the flexibility to easily and quickly get to whatever AF settings are appropriate for a specific situation.

Much has been written about this subject and there are many articles and YouTube videos floating around on the internet. Most recommendations I have seen involve using 2 or 3 different buttons to engage AF depending on how you want the system to operate in 2 or 3 pre-imagined scenarios. This approach has always seemed a bit overcomplicated and limiting to me. My approach is distinctly different and I find it to be simpler and more flexible. It may not be for everyone, but it has been working very well for me, and you can always tweak things according to your taste and personal preferences.
