A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I’m running a Canon RP + 50mm 1.8 Looking to shoot some architectural photos, which is the best autofocus settings? As I’m having difficulties with my camera focusing on just one point..

Many Thanks!

For static subjects you can use manual focus to practice. Using a tighter aperture (f/4 to f/11) will get more in focus (deeper depth of field). As a general rule, you don't want to increase the aperture over f/11 as that will introduce diffraction, which softens the image.

That camera has a couple of autofocus modes and watching any good video guide will introduce you to them. But for architecture it's good practice to try manually focusing too.
