Any higher resolution? It's too small to judge

Hi Xiia0Ban, appreciate n thanks for the feedback. Phew! sigma 1750 is so much expensive

Have taken both photos at same distance, but why the 1st photo can't get the pet in focus?

Blur behind bars

Pets are in focus

I am attempting to use the auto focus feature of 70D and hope to learn further.

Guys, how do I show the photos from Flicker here?

In other forums, I have the option for attachment. Here, I do not have this option.

Because the pet is on the same plane as the bar so it will confuse which to focus.

I have always set the focus point to the middle and use that middle focus point for it to autofocus. 99% accurate, 1% for failing in shooting small subject far away.

Strangely I managed to get the focus once as is shown in 2nd photo. Just could not get the focus again despite many attempts to change zoom, f stops. What should I do without doing manual focus?

1. Keep autofocus on, set focus point to middle.
2. Aim your middle focus point on animal through viewfinder
3. Half press shutter so it locks focus and don't let go, recompose.
4. Full press shutter

sigma 50mm f1.4 compatible to 6D?

Using Autofocus is like betting on lottery on those scenario. You may want to use Auto when you are shooting sports and etc with AI servo on.

First pic, auto focus hit the cage metal, not the subject pet.
2nd pic, auto focus might hit part of ya pet but still it's not a perfect one.

You may want to review the pic on ya cam for which AF point it use on those pic and try to get some idea why it look soo funny/ no in focus.

Anyway, learn to manually set the focus point, you have either 11 or 9 AF point... so explore and play with it. Get yourself familiar composing using different AF point on your viewfinder. As you progress, you might use wunna use center AF with focus /recompose technique.

For me the later F and R works better as my 5d2 had extra 6 assist AF point surrounding the center AF.

Bro, i just viewed your flickr album..damn nice portraiture there..
May i know which lens you using for all the portrait photos?

Hi guys, recently managed to found a 5D on sale. The condition is almost perfect (out look), but when i ask the seller about the shutter count, he says 5D can't check since it's an old camera? Is it true?

hi guys, any recommendations for monitors around 23 - 24 inch IPS monitor ? budget below 1k.. for photo editing cz my laptop screen is not accurate.. >.<

lol thank you, my album had been stagnant for quite sometime. hmmm I use mixture of 50 F1.8, 90F2.8, 135F2L, 24-105L, 70-200L. Sooo .. i had no idea, cant really recall unless I dig back the Exif lol. But mostly 135.

If you have something to sell, put it on your signature.

Yes it is. I used to have one with my 5D2 and later on 5D3. Wonderful lens. If you can get the new Art version even better.

Buy gear pay gold, sell out macam selling empty tin can ... might as well keep it as toy for my 1 year old dotter
Btw not selling or buying anything as current gears is more then enuff for my requirement. Also I don't see any upgrade in another 3~5 year time unless the body kong first.

How about with the standard lens and all full package? At least RM1K probably? Found a few that offered at such price.

You need to get it colour calibrated as well

hw to do it?
