In this video, I'll teach you how to shoot in Manual, but with a twist that may be even better than the usual Manual setting. I'll show you why it works, how to use it, and how to couple this with exposure compensation to be a great photography tool. This isn't just for wildlife, but has many other applications in different photography genres.

It can be very overwhelming to try and master juggling iso, aperture and shutterspeed, so having iso automated really let's me focus on the creativity and quality of the photo.

"ISO is the only setting that doesn't change the artistic properties of the photo." You know... the obvious has eluded me for over 30 years. Grain and noise as a wedding photographer have always been a great concern, and thinking on this a few moments, reviewing in my mind the missed shots as I fiddled all three parameters (digitally) and the timing was off just enough to miss a climactic moment in those shooots... I wish I would have approached some stages of the weddings with THIS statement in mind! You are exactly correct- with living subjects that final aspect of quality, especially upon some reflection, rarely matters.

He was right.

The improvement in the ability for newer cemeras to handle high ISO without bad noise is the real key. I used to shoot on a 7D and I was always stressing about ISO because of noise, I felt like my ISO was always battling with my options for shitter and f-stop. But I just got an R6Mkii....its crazy how good ISO has become... I don't even worry about noise anymore. It makes it so much easier to focus on getting the style you want.

I am really enjoying your videos. Although I've been a hobbyist photographer for over 65 years, I'm learning new techniques and disposing of some misconceptions I have had that (I now realize) have been restricting my photographic capabilities. Some of this goes back to my film/transparency days (1960's) when I was learning to shoot with a SLR. Modern cameras have SO much more capability plus our powerful, post-processing software. It's a whole different world! I'm afraid, in my old age, I've not kept up with technology. You are showing me the errors of my ways and I greatly appreciate it! It's sort of like, learning photography all over again; and, it's fun.

Definitely agree. Many people have this fear that your ISO has to be less than 400 at all costs, because of unnoticeable grain that will "destroy" their image. And while to some extent older cameras may do this, its far better to have properly exposed picture with grain than underexposed picture.

Because exposure compensation needs time I mostly go with center weighed average or even spot metering. But thank you very much for your videos.

This is such a simple yet SO effective concept. Taking full advantage of the apparent ISO flexibility offered by modern cameras is just brilliant.

Hi Simon, this is the first time - not the last - that I chose to look at one of your videos. I'm glad I did. Acutally, I've been using Auto-ISO for at least two years now. Before it was AV, only. And I was happy with the change. But after digesting what you are explaining here: I'm even more delighted about the Auto-ISO option, and I'll use it more liberally in the future. Even more so, since I'm also using Topaz! Summing it up: the risk of failing in photography is much higher if you try to avoid high ISOs at all cost, than if you just let the automatic go, and take care of the minor problems - later on. Thanks for encouraging this view. It will greatly help my photography, in the future, pracitically (missing fewer shots) and artistically (rather accepting a little bit of noise instead of completely missing the shot) I'm subscribed now, since I'm convinced.

As a sports photographer, I will use auto ISO with fixed f/stop and shutter speed in daylight. Exposures maintain well-balanced between sunlight and shade. For night sports, setting for auto ISO can go to very high extremes with unwanted noise. Instead, I set my ISO manually with wide-open f/stop, staying with 1/1000 sec. for the brightest area. I always shoot in RAW for the best post adjustments in exposure dynamic range. Those using zoom lenses with variable f/stop according to focal length, I set the f/stop fixed for the highest number at max zoom, maintaining fixed ISO and shutter speed. As always, observe the exposure triangle when shooting in Manual. Experimentation is the best instructor.

@simon_dentremont Жыл бұрын

Great advice! Thanks for sharing.

@jonasweiss5817 Жыл бұрын

This doesn't work if one doesn't consider when overexposure will happen. You'll be back to needing to adjust T or A anyway. So, go out and decide what manual setting of T and A are going to be the correct at the day/scene brightest at ISO 100 (or your lowest) and stay at or less expose than that (higher aperture or shutter speed) so that ISO will only rise. For instance, I shot a theme of street people at 5:00 p.m. each day over a month -- all from car looking at sidewalk people, with each day's lighting staying steady overall during the half-hour of shooting. I couldn't fool with settings, so I chose my aperture according to my artistic desire and left it there. Movement of all sorts demanded highest shutter possible. But what shutter was the fastest that could be used with auto-ISO in play? The shutter that was exposing the brightest scenes correctly at ISO 100! In this case, the subjects in direct sunlight, or scenes in direct light or the highest light of the day's views. With T set in this considered maximum, ISO could then increase with darker scenes, protecting me from overexposure.

@asystasyorg 2 ай бұрын

DUDE. I don't even do wildlife photography and I have gotten more out of your clear and concise explanations than several of the street photographers I've listened to (some of which are a little too poseurish for my taste). I shoot Manual with Auto ISO all the time )except for some architecture and landscape), but you have clearly explained why this mode has definite advantages. I'd also add that DxO PureRAW and other apps can easily remove noise caused by higher ISO settings, so I completely agree that this is secondary to the moment of creative composition. I also prefer to slightly underexpose my photos in general (except for the few times I take wildlife or moving subjects), but that's neither here nor there. Please don't stop doing what you're doing!

Until I found Simon ´s channel! This so good, straight-forward and easily repeatable, one instantly makes big progress! Thank you, Simon!

It seems to depend on the type of photography. For landscape, the most important settings are aperture and ISO. It only makes sense to have total control over aperture and ISO and use the shutter to determine the exposure.

Except for situations where I want to control every aspect of my exposure in order to get something specific out of my camera, I always used ISO on auto. A tip for beginners would be to check how your camera reacts to different ISO values and to set the maximum value ISO value for auto so it doesn't go in unwanted territory. Also, as a suggestion for a future video, you could explore how to take wildlife photography with lenses in the 15mm - 100mm range.

I appreciate the video and suggestion for using auto iso. As a landscape shooter I typically set iso low to minimize noise, determine my required depth of field and let the shutter speed fall where it will (on a tripod). Last fall I photographed Sandhill Cranes and the auto iso manual exposure method would have been very useful. My Sony offers the option so next time I shoot moving subjects I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the clear explanation.

I do the same for landscapes, but as you say for wildlife autoiso works really well.

I have learned much of what you teach through trial and error (mostly error) but I have found your teaching to be clarifying. You put into words explanations of why I select manual over all other modes, but also see the value of TV/AV etc. I use Auto ISO most of the time, finding it the best setting in most of my circumstances. Please keep your video's coming. They are a delight and extremely helpful.

Enjoyed the video. I also use manual with auto iso. I typically shoot grandkids sports but dabble with local wildlife and even landscapes. A thought about future episodes could be back button focus if you haven already done that. I've got two buttons set. One for single spot and the other for eye tracking. I've even taken it a step further and set up C1 for people tracking, C2 for animals and C3 for slower shutter and lower iso for landscape. Choose one for your current situation and bang, you're set with default settings!

I almost have the same setup, and yes, I have a video out on it! Thanks.

Not only are your photos beautiful, but to be in a position to take photos like those has me green with envy. I've always been hesitant to go full manual mainly because managing all 3 settings for a shot is very difficult. I was also nervous about letting the camera pick ISO because I was afraid it would go overboard. These tips have given me the confidence to give it a try!

The information you provided on ISO in your video is game changing. I’ve watched numerous photograph videos about ISO no one has ever explained the advantage of leaving your ISO on auto when using Manual like you have. I especially like how you stated that ISO does not have as much bearing on the creativity of your photo as aperture and shutter speed. Thank you for such an informative video.😊

War Stories: With film, you had to pick the ISO or perhaps two ISOs if you had two bodies and that would be it sometimes for the whole trip. My first Canon 1D and 1Ds did not have auto ISO. Later, the Canon bodies had auto ISO but no exposure compensation in manual mode. Then they added exposure compensation in an extremely awkward and time consuming way. Finally, we have auto ISO with exposure compensation on a dial of your choosing. AAaahhhh…. Finally. With the pro 1D line of bodies, you can tie the spot metering to the spot being focused. This is even one step better than exposure compensation. It isn’t on the EOS R5. It appears to be under appreciated. I shot a lot of musicians on stage with weird and wicked lighting. Being able to get the musician’s eye in focus as well as properly exposed is a game changer. What use to be extremely challenging is almost ho-hum simple now. I really like your videos and the depth you go into with examples and the reason why you do things.

I also use manual with auto iso, and it works well for me for the reasons you mention. In answer to your question, I would like to see a day in your life type episode when you go out to photograph wildlife, including how you plan, pack and what you do on location. Also, if you go on expeditions to new locations, it would be great to come along with you!

@@simon_dentremont Yes, I have watched most of your videos and really enjoy it when you are out in nature. Thanks once again for inspiring us. I had quite an exciting morning, as the BBC published a photo I submitted - it is on the Home page under the 'Must See' tab and photos of 'My Summer'. If you get a chance to have a look, it may interest you to see two of our birds that occur locally here- the Southern double-collared sunbird and the Cape white-eye. Both are small and skittish birds and quite a challenge to photograph!

Your videos are in my must watch category Simon. I have been happily using Man with Auto ISO for a long time but I need now to get to grips with exposure compensation and hoe to set it up for quick and easy use on my R7. I currently have FStop on the lens ring, Shutter speed on the top dial and ISO on the rear dial. I am thinking that I should swap the FSstop and ISO controls around as I leave the ISO on AUTO. I can still toggle exposure compensation and use it with the front dial. But not ideal. Is exposure compensation something you feel needs quick adjustment on the fly often, maybe that should be on the rear wheel and toggle Aperture. Your thoughts and other R7 users would be appreciated

@simon_dentremont Жыл бұрын

@@andrewkeir2282 Thanks. Yes, Exp Comp needs to at the ready. Aperture is what you need to change least, so I’d leave that on the ring. I’d leave shutter speed on the top dial, and add EC to the new thumb wheel on the R7, around the joystick.
