I circled the arrow buttons in the image below. If I wanted to move the focus point up or down, I can use the up and down arrows. I can also accomplish the same exact thing by pressing the left and right arrows on the back of the camera. This will move the point to the left or to the right. I can either roll the scroll wheel on top of the camera back and forth. To move the focus point manually, I can use two different methods. That’s fine, but what if I’d like to change that point? What this means is that no matter what, the point at the center of the scene will be the point that’s focused on. That translates into one point autofocus. Also, if you’ll notice, the box to the left, above the focus points, is highlighted. If I hadn’t set this camera this way, the entire center area may have been highlighted in orange.

Because I already have this camera set to a manual focus point, the center point is highlighted. When I press that button, the current focus settings will come up.
In this case, that button is the one all the way to the right right above the small magnifying glass with the + on it. In order to follow the process I’ll show you below, the camera needs to be in this mode the one where all the information is showing on the rear screen.Ĭhanging the Focus PointIn order to manually choose my own focus point, I’ll have to press the proper button on the back of the camera. This is what it looks like right after I turn the camera on. The Rear LCD ScreenOkay, I’ve propped my Canon T7i up on my table and I took a photo of the rear LCD screen. Really, the only difference will be that the newer T6i and T7i will be touch screen and the older models won’t have as many focus points. I completely forget what the T2i looks like, so I won’t include that one on this list. The basic concepts of what I’ll explain down below will be true for the T8i, T6i, T5i, T4i and the T3i.

What if there’s something very specific in the scene you’d like to be in focus though? What do you do then? How do you focus on just that? Can you tell the camera to pick just one of those dozens of focus point to use? Sure you can and I’ll tell you how to do that below.īy the way, for this post, I’ll be using my Canon Rebel T7i. You may have heard that cameras these days have dozens of focus points, which is great if you’d like to capture a larger object in a scene. In today’s post, I’d like to discuss how you can basically tell your Canon Rebel DSLR camera what to do. Over and over again and I can tell you from personal experience, this is very annoying when it’s happening. Oftentimes, the autofocus feature on many cameras automatically focus on the wrong thing. The problem is, cameras can’t think, therefore they can’t know the photographer’s intentions. They get much closer in and they target what should be clear and what shouldn’t. As they move through the ranks though, they begin honing in on the details of many scenes.
In the beginning, many folks simply point and shoot from a distance. This is especially true as they move from the very beginning stages of photography to the more amateur stages. Trying to get a camera to focus on the correct object in a photo has always been a challenge for many people.
