Over the last two years I have facilitated a number of Birds in Flight / Action Photography workshops in Milnerton / Woodbridge Island, Cape Town.
Most of my previous workshops stopped short of providing hands-on opportunities (for individual delegates) for fine-tuning and testing specific AF / AI Servo configurations and lens-specific adjustments (via Reikan Focal 2.5.0 Autofocus Micro-Adjustment Calibration Software for Canon EOS bodies).
Please note: Reikan FoCal Autofocus Micro-Adjustment (AFMA) Calibration Software only works with Canon EOS DSLR cameras with the embedded Micro Adjustment function (available in most Canon EOS enthusiast and professional DSLR bodies). See Canon EOS / Reiken FoCal AFMA compatibility table (for supported Canon EOS camera bodies) towards the bottom of this page. More information
