In today’s Youtube video I am sharing one of the BEST parts of the R6 or any mirrorless camera!
And that is….
the amazing Autofocus system, specifically the touch and drag feature!!
But what might surprise you is
that some people hate this feature!!!
I think the reality is, most people who dislike this feature haven’t really found THEIR settings that work best for them! After shooting a certain way for 14 years, there are things I had to change in order to make touch and drag work for me!
I am going to break down my 5 best practices that will allow you to use touch and drag that allows you to FEEL IN CONTROL! It ultimately helps me achieve the composition I see in my head so quickly, and I don’t think I could capture the images that I do so fast without this feature.
My hope for today’s video is that it clears up some of the issues you are experiencing with touch and drag and how it can serve you well as a photographer!!

Three years ago, Michael and I helped launch a school that would completely reshape our family’s life, and the lives of so many others. This past weekend, we traveled to Austin, Texas, for the annual Acton Academy Owners Conference, and I left with so much to share.
I haven’t done one of these Where I Am updates in a few weeks, and honestly? It’s because life has felt full and fast…but also slow and sweet in ways I didn’t expect!
You know those images that just glow? The ones where the lighting feels effortless, the tones are dreamy, and everything looks polished—even if it was taken in a less-than-perfect spot?
This week’s Where I Am is short, sweet, and exactly what it’s meant to be: a quick check-in on life, faith, and business.
Some sessions are special because of the people. Some sessions are special because of the place. And then there are sessions like this one… where everything comes together to create something truly unforgettable.
