I wonder if people will get the point of this video, that camera settings are only the most basic starting point, because you have to have this conversation, actually in a lot more detail with a beginner for them to really understand it. Nobody wants to listen to a conversation for 40 minutes about camera settings, but iso 100, 1/500, f4.0 doesn't mean anything. Probably will see another article on petapixel about you making camera settings way more complicated than they need to be.

It is very rare that I feel like I must comment on a video, but I have to say that this video was VERY helpful to me. I completely understand that one person's camera settings is irrelevant to another person's settings in various environments but being a newer photographer, It was important for me to hear that it is ok to use Auto-ISO as well as other camera settings (aperture priority vs manual mode only). It was important for me to hear hat it is ok to use "full auto" occasionally when there is too much to think about and you don't have time to go through all the manual settings before taking the shot. Before watching this video, I was lead to believe that most, if not all enthusiast-pro photographers used only manual settings because they had the experience to quickly adjust the settings in any situation to get the photo. I have been working really hard to get to that point but it has been a frustrating journey to say the least. It's just good to hear that it is ok (not necessarily ideal, but ok) to use auto when the situation calls for it. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite alround settings: AV mode with shutterspeed treshhold and auto ISO with a range. This way your camera makes decisions within your own "comfort zone" specs wise. I set the aperture (to the lowest number), which i often find the most important setting, have the shutterspeed treshhold on 1/125th of a sec and auto ISO set between 100-3200. When my shutterspeed should fall under 1/125th it starts to compensate with ISO (else it's 100). When top treshhold of ISO is reached, it slows down your shutter more. With these settings you have an almost full range of light to dark which you can shoot with 1 set of settings, or only adjust your aperture. Works like a charm in almost any situation.

Really great discussion about the “settings” issue. Great points about modes to use, what to use “auto” mode with (like Auto ISO) with respect to TYPES is shooting - portraits, wildlife, sports. The key takeaway - pick a start point and take many test shots to understand the dynamics of the settings in a given situation and how the camera/lens combination you’re using behaves in those situations. You have to start somewhere. Thanks Tony.

It was nice to have the confirmation that I’m thinking properly. It would be cool to have a video like this about the creative process.

Thanks for sharing this workflow. This is providing me with a confidence builder and helping to reinforce the fact that compromises have to be made.

I'm trying to break out of old habits like this. So, it's great to hear you're perspective. It's amazing when I think about the fact that you guys share all of this information at no cost to us.

I really really enjoyed this video. More so because I just bought a real camera and finally getting into hands on photography. Bookmarked this video for reference too. Been a subscriber for at least a year and only owned my iPhone for photos. In that time I slowly learned more about photography and cameras from your videos, though a lot of it goes over my head, yet slowly learned each video. However, videos like this are a massive step up in fundamental learning and understanding for camera work which I truly appreciate more. Taking the time in the video to “show” what you mean with the various inserted photos and camera settings helps a lot for someone like me to understand things basic and fundamental to photography. Really enjoyed it.

Five slow claps for this video Tony. Great explanations on general settings depending on the setting and it's surroundings. I recently just took great photos of the eclipse. I would have never been able to do that without looking at someone's setting. No I didn't copy them completely but it allowed me to set up quickly and adjust from there. People do not ask to copy settings but to get an idea of what it took to take the photo.

Just like to say, the point 3mins 38sec in really, really helped me. I've been watching various videos and seen the settings of various shots, such as portraits, where there was a surprisingly high shutter speed with a surprisingly high ISO. I've been in turmoil trying to work out what benefit there was to not turning down the ISO and having a still fast, but more appropriate shutter speed! Many thanks
@marianpalko2531 6 жыл бұрын
This really never has been much of a problem to me. I like to keep my ISOs low. So I set the ISO to the lowest possible value. That's where I start. Typically, unless I find myself in a scenario requiring some special technique, such as panning, I want as fast a shutter speed as possible. So I set the aperture to the desired value, depending naturally on the desired depth of field, and let the camera decide the shutter speed. If the shutter speed is not fast enough, I crank up the ISO. This method has reliably worked for me for a couple of years, and I have never had any issues with it.

Thumbs Up! I think in this video and the last one you've done a really good job explaining to beginners that trying to memorize (or copy) specific settings is not a good plan... because it isn't going to work. That really is an important message. Heck, for now I won't even bother to disagree with your ideas about full manual mode or suggest that instead of spending time chimping histograms or memorizing compensation values in a semi-auto or auto mode someone could just spend that exact same amount of time/energy in full manual mode (no auto iso) and reap the benefits of not having the camera taking the liberty of jerking around with your well-reasoned (manual) exposures.

I always enjoy these videos from the Northrup family. To think I once (in the dark ages of the 1970's) shot totally manually (because I had to with my dinosauric Practica). I had a light meter, but I ended up being able to gauge light/fstop/shutter fairly accurately without it. It helped that I only used 125 ASA (Kodak PlusX Pan) or 400 ASA film (Kodak TriX Pan) film. And then, into the misty realms of the darkroom.... Every shot had to count in those days due to film cost. But give me digital anytime! Cheers, John (Sydney, Australia).

Thank you Tony, This is really helpful to get in the ballpark because clearly different lens, camera, ambient conditions will need adjustments. As a beginner, I like to look at the images and try to solve the approximate settings in my head and then see if i'm close to a reference, like yours. However, (ha, there is a however), I'm discounting the photos and settings you shared that were clearly lit with flash or LED. I think that there's no point trying to figure those out because from the photo, we'll never know what the true conditions were, just the conditions during the millisecond of flash. Things like ambient light, flash distance and power are just unsolvable from the photo. As well, on those artificially lit shots, we have to factor in the effect aperture has on flash and shutter speed has on ambient, which just leaves too many unknown variables. But, all in all--thank you so much for helping us.

I feel manual is perfect for stills and landscapes, but wildlife demands more use of aperture and shutter priority settings. Thoughts?

my biggest lesson was to make effective use of Exposure Compensation. Learn to know which colour needs which EV value to look good on camera. That means in manual mode, I can say okay that person is wearing red, so use -X EV and measure off the red colour. That way when lighting conditions change, I know if my metering needs to change aswell depending on how my values measure. That makes it very easy to ensure that the images say more or less the same when shooting manual mode.

Aperture mode is also where I spend most of my time for the same reasons you stated, though I've only recently begun using limited Auto ISO modes to counteract the times when shooting speed would drop too low. One thing I must say though using a fixed ISO and getting shutter speeds that were realistically too low did help me with minimising camera shake by forcing me to hold the camera better which has effectively extended the range available to me hand held. For me there was no information overload here as what you've said is pretty much what I practice, though I haven't done much with portraits and picked up a few tips to remember from your commentary.

Tony, another great video with exceptionally useful information. One thing you didn’t mention in your settings is the metering mode. Can we assume you are using some sort of matrix metering? The metering mode obviously plays a critical, defining roll in the final exposure captured by your other three settings, and therefore plays a role in the exposure compensation adjustments that you so eloquently described as being sometimes essential. Depending on my subject matter, the metering mode, matrix, spot, etc. is the first thing I set before moving on to the other three essential settings.

Aperture, shutter speed and ISO are all interrelated to get a properly exposed shot and each of those have advantages and disadvantages depending on the shot. Learn what each of those are then you will be well on your way to work out what settings are best for what you plan to shoot. A good idea is for you to set 1 or 2 of those 3 and let the camera automatically do the other ones so you get a good exposure. eg action shots use a high shutter speed, low light situations use a wide aperture

Great video. I’m so over unboxings and reviews of the latest and greatest body that releases.

If you want remain relevant you need to cycle video content through the entire spectrum of photographer skill levels. If you choose to focus only on one level of photographer your youtube business will fail over time. Great video. For those who feel it was beneath them, spend your time on some other TC offering suitable to your level. In my experience they have clips that cover all levels, and remain relevant.

What a great video! Just started doing astrophotography Monday night was the first time I captured stars. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Oh no you're broke down and did a camera setting video! Nice... You didn't even explode their heads on even MORE depth of field consideration! Distance to subject, focal length, and sensor size.😅 Great job Tony, I have tried to explain this to beginners before. You did much better than me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I like the way you explained things. Watching the video, I realized, I use the same basic rules as you do most of the time, though I also see how I could improve even more, so thank you for all the advices. There's never too much of useful information for me, but I'm an IT guy and work with lots of data on a daily basis, so I swallow that easily :-) I also like your other videos too, so thanks for them and keep doing what you do, the way you do! :-)

as an amateur i found the one thing my cheap rig does spectacularly , and that's all i do , i shoot tripod video in blindingly bright outside light w/d7000 , nikon 50mm 1.8e , all manual settings stopped down two clicks , focus at about 3 or 4 feet , the whole rig you can buy today for $350

thanks tony for your video. i am full time 20 year shooter and shoot just like you do. awesome. it is alot. but when you do it every single day it is second nature and hard for new shooters to get all of it. peace

I am glad to know that you tend to use Auto ISO even in Manual Mode. It makes me feel like less of a bad photographer. 😂

Bravo for taking the bull by the horns so to speak. Personally I was on your side on the prequel episode, but this way certainly everyone wins. In fact I’m sure that by your drilling this through so adroitly, everyone in all camps learned something, including me!
