Lesson 1 - Focus

There are several types of focus systems out there. In the world of Nikon, the camera’s are marked with the letters, “C, S, and M.” The letters stand for Continuous Servo, Servo, and Manual.

Each one performs a special function that adds to your creativity.Continuous servo allows you to track the subject, which is great for sports photography.

Servo, the more basic type, is great for focusing on a subject and, while keeping your finger on the shutter release button, lets you move the camera slightly to change the composition.

Manual is simply you turning the focus ring on the lens. If you do landscape photography, you’ll find it useful to focus on the subject while in servo mode and then change the focusing mode to manual. Doing this allows you to create wonderful images without worrying about vibration or accidental focus changes.

I hope you find this information useful. Let me know if you have any questions.
