Modern DSLR cameras have a number of tools to assist with auto focus functions. One of the problems is these modes can be confusing and unintuitive if you haven't explored the correct ways to use them.

You'll need to consult your camera manual to see how these techniques apply to your specific make and model but in this episode I'm going to cover the two basic techniques of spot focusing and continuous (servo) focusing, when you would use these modes and the techniques around getting them to work for you.
