How Do I Turn Off Autofocus on Canon?

Published in Photography 1 min read

You can turn off autofocus on your Canon camera by using the AF/MF switch located on the lens.

Here's how:

  1. Locate the AF/MF switch: This switch is usually found on the side of your lens, near the focus ring.
  2. Slide the switch to the 'MF' position: This will disable autofocus and allow you to manually focus your lens.

Note: Some Canon lenses may have different methods for disabling autofocus. Refer to your lens's manual for specific instructions.

Other ways to turn off autofocus on Canon cameras:

  • Using the camera menu: Some Canon cameras allow you to disable autofocus through the camera menu.
  • Using the AF-ON button: This button is commonly used for back-button focusing, allowing you to focus only when you press the button, but it can also be used to disable autofocus completely on some cameras.

Remember: Turning off autofocus gives you more control over the focus, but it requires more practice and skill.
