his deep knowledge of Nikon technology and concentrates on its focus
features.
With today's advanced camera technology, achieving focus on a
photographic subject seems like it should be a straightforward task. But
many photographers know that it can be deceptively difficult, especially
when shooting moving subjects or in challenging situations. Now, there
is a complete guide available for Nikon shooters that will help them get
tack-sharp photos every time.
In The Nikon Autofocus System, 2nd Edition, photographer Mike Hagen,
author of the bestselling The Nikon Creative Lighting System, takes
his deep knowledge of Nikon technology and concentrates on its focus
features. In this book, which covers all current Nikon DSLR models
(including the D5 and D500), Hagen fully explains how Nikon autofocus
works, including detailed discussions of all the autofocus modules,
drive systems, and camera buttons and menus. He also devotes an entire
chapter to explore how focus works with Nikon's lenses.
Armed with this general knowledge, Hagen then dives deep and offers
camera setups, settings, and best practices for specific field
techniques that address the photographic genres that are notoriously
challenging for focus: action and sports (indoor and outdoor), wildlife
(including birds in flight), and macro photography. He also covers
genres such as portrait, landscape, underwater, low-light, and street
photography. Hagen not only advises on the best ways to set up the
camera and focus systems. He gives helpful tips and tricks throughout
the book.
