I cant focus im loosing my mind

Our take

Navigating the world of photography can be challenging, especially when capturing dynamic subjects like dogs in motion. As a college student studying photography, you're encountering difficulties with your Nikon Z6 II, particularly when trying to focus on fast-moving animals. Despite using various focus settings, including continuous focus and animal detection, your images often end up unfocused. This frustration is understandable, and you’re reaching out for guidance on how to improve your technique for capturing those vibrant moments with clarity.

hi guys!!

im a college student currently studying photography, i've had this recent problem with flying birds and especially yesterday while photographing a dog catching a frisbee and my god it doesnt focus i dont understand how to do it :-(

i have a Nikon Z6 II and i usually use the focus point a square with dots around it (its circled in the photo) and it hasnt worked well with all manually so i switched to auto shutter speed and gues what nothing changed, it kept focusing the background, i have a button i usually hold to keep continuosly focuaing the subject and i try to follow the subject with the focus point. i tried to pu animal detection on but it focused only in some parts, not the best for fast movement i guess so i need help you guys, how do you do it on animals that are running?

its making me angry seeing all these unfocused photos
