Dustin Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Can someone perhaps help me on the a6500. I’ve had this camera for about 6 months and have been loving it. Originally I did as @Andrew Reidsuggests in his guide to set 2 modes up under M for 24p/120p to enable use of photo capability. At some point I overwrote those settings from video mode because when I switch to m for photos, the AF-C sometimes doesn’t work at all and only focuses with a half press of the shutter, instead of automatically focusing. Have I setup something wrong? In other words, video in m mode is unusable with af-c focus not working correctly. It’s very annoying because it was working perfectly at first and I have no idea what setting I’ve adjusted. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Any ideas before I refresh my camera and start over from scratch? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Ok last attempt here: if I could describe it, when I’m in movie mode, the af-c transition is smooooth as butter. When I switch to M mode, no other settings are changed, it sometimes will work fine, then after about 3-5 minutes it can’t focus or if it does, it’s a very jarring focus despite being just fine in movie setting! Then when I half press the shutter will focus but will not return to whatever else is in focus. This is just so jarring, especially because it works fine in movie mode! I know some of you have mentioned shooting in manual even Andrew mentioned it but on my camera the AF-C doesn’t seem to be working correctly in M photo mode. Can anyone help!
