I understand what Tv and Av modes do, but what are the letters supposed to actually mean (or be short for)? And the easiest way for me to remember aperture is 0 = Open and anything higher is going towards closed

Dude! You killed it. Especially compression. I had no idea about this before now. Thank you so much. BTW, I got here following a link at the end of your video discussing the discontinuation of Canon M series. Don't have one, but I did appreciate the optional strategies to consider when this occurs on whatever gear you have. For me, you're one of the most palatable KZfaq creators. And for that reason, I watch a lot of your "shows"! ;)

Excellent video!! Just getting back into photography after many years away, and it's good to have these reminders of all these factors. I just picked up a second hand zoom lens, and wasn't aware of the compression factor - so it was fascinating to learn of the different effects that can be achieved by using compression. I will definitely experiment, and even try some portrait photography with it!
