    Posted by Matthew Davies on August 29, 2012 at 6:34 am

    I was watching this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfy7lamQ5GI and noticed that there are several fast panning shots. The main thing that is holding me up from shooting with a DSLR is focus. I just can’t seem to pull focus fast enough or accurately enough. How does one pull focus quickly and accurately? Do I need to get a pull focus system?

    The fastest way to pull focus is being using marks. The second fastest way is to use autofocus, but the DSLRs usually don’t have that feature.
