now we're going to look at the focus now we're going to look at the focus axis and the modes that can be used axis and the modes that can be used axis and the modes that can be used there if we look at our Focus axis here there if we look at our Focus axis here there if we look at our Focus axis here we can look at this and see that we can we can look at this and see that we can we can look at this and see that we can run the focus axis as follows Target run the focus axis as follows Target run the focus axis as follows Target that is the focus axis that follows that is the focus axis that follows that is the focus axis that follows where the target is all the time we where the target is all the time we where the target is all the time we could also run it as an indpendent axis could also run it as an indpendent axis could also run it as an indpendent axis if we had it set as an independent axis if we had it set as an independent axis if we had it set as an independent axis it would not display it would not display it would not display the distances to the Target or to the distances to the Target or to the distances to the Target or to whatever it was focused whatever it was focused whatever it was focused on if we go to Follows object follows on if we go to Follows object follows on if we go to Follows object follows object is an independent axis except object is an independent axis except object is an independent axis except that it uses the calibrated lens so that that it uses the calibrated lens so that that it uses the calibrated lens so that you actually get correct distances that you actually get correct distances that you actually get correct distances that you can measure it's an independent axis you can measure it's an independent axis you can measure it's an independent axis so it's not going to follow the so it's not going to follow the so it's not going to follow the Target and then there's follow sensor Target and then there's follow sensor Target and then there's follow sensor this is for use if we have a focus this is for use if we have a focus this is for use if we have a focus sensor on the front of the rig and that sensor on the front of the rig and that sensor on the front of the rig and that allows you to have a selection and allows you to have a selection and allows you to have a selection and choose what to focus on within your live choose what to focus on within your live choose what to focus on within your live view screen and that's really good for view screen and that's really good for view screen and that's really good for setting up Focus axis it's not much good setting up Focus axis it's not much good setting up Focus axis it's not much good for if you leave it in that while you're for if you leave it in that while you're for if you leave it in that while you're trying to shoot though because in trying to shoot though because in trying to shoot though because in shooting usually you will want to be in shooting usually you will want to be in shooting usually you will want to be in Focus follows Target unless you're going Focus follows Target unless you're going Focus follows Target unless you're going to focus on something else other than to focus on something else other than to focus on something else other than the target which is sometimes the case the target which is sometimes the case the target which is sometimes the case I'm going to start here with a follows I'm going to start here with a follows I'm going to start here with a follows Target situation and we can now look at Target situation and we can now look at Target situation and we can now look at this move I have a twoo move there I'm this move I have a twoo move there I'm this move I have a twoo move there I'm looking at the same Target it's 200 looking at the same Target it's 200 looking at the same Target it's 200 frames long and if I run this frames long and if I run this frames long and if I run this move forward run and shoot move forward run and shoot move forward run and shoot it it it then my target stays in Focus through then my target stays in Focus through then my target stays in Focus through the move because my focus axis is in the move because my focus axis is in the move because my focus axis is in Focus follows Target and my focus axis Focus follows Target and my focus axis Focus follows Target and my focus axis is staying at 141 CM which is the is staying at 141 CM which is the is staying at 141 CM which is the distance to the Target however in this distance to the Target however in this distance to the Target however in this particular instance there is an object particular instance there is an object particular instance there is an object in front of the target at frame in front of the target at frame in front of the target at frame 100 and I may want to pull Focus to that 100 and I may want to pull Focus to that 100 and I may want to pull Focus to that in the middle of my in the middle of my in the middle of my move if I want to do that I'm going to move if I want to do that I'm going to move if I want to do that I'm going to have to either be in Focus have to either be in Focus have to either be in Focus independent or in independent or in independent or in Focus follows Focus follows Focus follows object now if I'm in Focus follows object now if I'm in Focus follows object now if I'm in Focus follows object then I am in an independent Focus object then I am in an independent Focus object then I am in an independent Focus but I am capable of measuring the but I am capable of measuring the but I am capable of measuring the distance to the Target to the object distance to the Target to the object distance to the Target to the object that I want to be in focus at that that I want to be in focus at that that I want to be in focus at that point so what I'm going to do now is I'm point so what I'm going to do now is I'm point so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to move my move to frame 100 do the go 100 do the go to there's my goto and at the moment to there's my goto and at the moment to there's my goto and at the moment it's focused on the original it's focused on the original it's focused on the original Target I'm actually going to go a little Target I'm actually going to go a little Target I'm actually going to go a little bit further back there to actually frame bit further back there to actually frame bit further back there to actually frame 94 where I think actually it will be 94 where I think actually it will be 94 where I think actually it will be slightly better place to be in focus on slightly better place to be in focus on slightly better place to be in focus on the can which is the object in front the can which is the object in front the can which is the object in front there we are frame there we are frame there we are frame 88 now that can is actually out of focus 88 now that can is actually out of focus 88 now that can is actually out of focus at the moment so what I need to do is I at the moment so what I need to do is I at the moment so what I need to do is I need to find where it's in Focus which I need to find where it's in Focus which I need to find where it's in Focus which I can do very easily can do very easily can do very easily by pulling Focus onto it by pulling Focus onto it by pulling Focus onto it there that's pretty sharp good so I'm there that's pretty sharp good so I'm there that's pretty sharp good so I'm actually in focus at 89 actually in focus at 89 actually in focus at 89 CM on the object in front but how do I CM on the object in front but how do I CM on the object in front but how do I put that into my mooves so that my focus put that into my mooves so that my focus put that into my mooves so that my focus pulls from the target to the object in pulls from the target to the object in pulls from the target to the object in front and then back out to the Target I front and then back out to the Target I front and then back out to the Target I can insert a line here because I am at can insert a line here because I am at can insert a line here because I am at frame 88 it has inserted a line at frame frame 88 it has inserted a line at frame frame 88 it has inserted a line at frame 88 now because I am not in Focus follows 88 now because I am not in Focus follows 88 now because I am not in Focus follows Target I can put Target I can put Target I can put um a point um a point um a point there and I do not need any of the rest there and I do not need any of the rest there and I do not need any of the rest of these points in order to be able to of these points in order to be able to of these points in order to be able to have a point because that is an have a point because that is an have a point because that is an independent axis if that was a Target independent axis if that was a Target independent axis if that was a Target tracking axis if any of these other tracking axis if any of these other tracking axis if any of these other Target tracking axes were there then I Target tracking axes were there then I Target tracking axes were there then I would need a Target and I would need to would need a Target and I would need to would need a Target and I would need to have it full Focus using the Target but have it full Focus using the Target but have it full Focus using the Target but I don't want to do that I want my target I don't want to do that I want my target I don't want to do that I want my target to stay the same so now I have a move to stay the same so now I have a move to stay the same so now I have a move that goes from a Target position there that goes from a Target position there that goes from a Target position there to a Target position there and to a Target position there and to a Target position there and which which which focuses correctly there we are let's focuses correctly there we are let's focuses correctly there we are let's forward run forward run forward run that do the goto and that actually looks soft to me goto and that actually looks soft to me I'm sorry I'm gonna tweak my focus there I'm sorry I'm gonna tweak my focus there I'm sorry I'm gonna tweak my focus there stop there I'm going to tweak my focus stop there I'm going to tweak my focus stop there I'm going to tweak my focus there it's changed slightly from I can actually type in there 141 which I can actually type in there 141 which is the target is the target is the target distance I can type into there 141 which distance I can type into there 141 which distance I can type into there 141 which is the target distance because at the is the target distance because at the is the target distance because at the moment I want it to focus on the target moment I want it to focus on the target moment I want it to focus on the target at those positions okay so I now have 141 at the beginning okay so I now have 141 at the beginning 141 at the end but I've got 89 in the 141 at the end but I've got 89 in the 141 at the end but I've got 89 in the middle and my focus is an independent middle and my focus is an independent middle and my focus is an independent axis that is set to follow his object axis that is set to follow his object axis that is set to follow his object let's shoot
