T6i : best AF setting to shoot movies without putting your hands on the camera

[beatman]

Hello there,

I'm new to the Rebel T6i and I'm having some issues while trying to shoot movies.
When I film, I never have the camera on my hands cause I work with a 'cage' - a support that you attach the camera to it to have more stability and also put light and microphone on it.

Well, that said, I can't keep touching the screen to focus on the objects I want to focus. So I'd like to know if you guys have any  hints on what is the best AF set on the T6i for this purpose.

Thanks a lot!

T6i has AI Servo, AI Focus, live tracking mode, etc. I've made lots of new tests today and it worked great.
I'm just new to the equipment, that's all.
At the end of the day, all I had to do was change my approach - I have to touch the lcd screen to control it - no matter what- that's all.

Correct.  There is no "hands free" mode of operation.

The worst answer one could possibly give: it absolutely didn't help but it is technically wrong - roughly wrong.
I hope you said that as a joke (an attempt to be a troll or something worth it). But if you do believe what you said, I strongly recommend you go research so you can be in the present world.

Thank you for that. It reminded me to "kudo" kvbarkley's message.
