Is autofocus “hunting” normal for 50mm? Hi I am new to photography and I recently purchased a Canon M50 + 50mm 1.8 + Viltrox adapter. I’m noticing that when I do a half press on the shutter, the camera seems to keep “hunting” to focus and it is very audible. I understand that it might be the lens just working to keep focus but it seems to keep going in and out of focus as it makes the…

manual or autofocus lens for beginner? Hi everyone, I just bought my first camera – the Fujifilm X-E2, and now I’m choosing a lens for it. I think I’ll mostly be shooting street and portraits.

Autofocus issues with Sigma 150 – 600 on 5D Mark III? Hi all, I recently upgraded my canon 75 – 300 lens to a sigma 150 – 600. I’m happy with the results so far however the autofocus is inconsistent.

Autofocus points on R7, what would you guys recommend? I came from a DSLR where I could select the AF points, I generally selected the centre point. I now have a canon R7 where there is a LOT more choice on what to use. At this moment in time I have it set to a single autofocus point. I mainly photograph planes at airshows, and I am yet to field the R7, I was going to stick with the centre point, …

Fujifilm S2 pro stuggling to autofocus, but is slowly getting better, weirdly? So I just picked up a fujifilm finepix s2 pro, I know it’s very old but that’s the fun of it. Anyway the camera at first simply wouldn’t autofocus no matter what lens was on it. So I took it outside and I could get it to focus on some pretty far away buildings. I kept using it and now it will focus within about 10-20 feet, all within a afternoon…

Sony a7iv autofocus question? So I just got the a7iv and I love it. Had a question though. I only use the back button af on for focusing. Something I noticed was that, on occasion, when I press the button in af tracking mode, the af box remains white. This is very infrequent, and usually if I depress, or press harder, it catches focus instantly. Maybe this is normal, or just…
