I use auto iso and the exposure compensation dial to adjust to the right without clipping whites. Since cameras have histograms and zebra display, why is there not a program in the camera that is "avoid clipping whites" or "avoid clipping blacks" so the camera auto adjusts the exposure until just before there is clipping in either the whites or blacks base on your selection while still allowing exposure compensation if desirable? Thanks Simon!

In the past, I held the belief that achieving a perfect photograph necessitated maintaining an exposure value of zero. Consequently, I meticulously ensured that the exposure was set to zero before capturing each image. However, I am grateful for the insights provided in the video, as they have enlightened me to the benefits of experimenting with different exposure settings, particularly in challenging lighting conditions such as excessive darkness or brightness.

@user-cy5hg1di1y Жыл бұрын

I got into photography pretty young and didn’t take any formal lessons. I just learned about the three bases pretty much (ISO, SS, aperture). I primarily shoot in the harsh mid-day lighting because I’m a student and I don’t always have time for the early or late night trips. Embarrassingly, it took me about five years to realize (1) you don’t need to use manual all the time for good photos and (2) exposure compensation makes a world of difference, especially shooting in midday.

@jeffolson4731 Жыл бұрын

Newer Canon cameras have a mode called FV. This is what I use. I find it most useful on cameras with only 2 control wheels. One wheel controls which of the four settings you are controlling; shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, and ISO, while the other wheel lets you adjust the chosen setting. I set my ISO to AUTO 99.9% of the time. I then use mostly control the shutter speed and compensation. It is true that I cold do the same thing by just mapping one wheel to shutter and the other to exposure compensation but on the rare occasions where I actually want to adjust my ISO I would then have to press a button while moving a wheel and that just doesn't work well for me. Great explanation on why exposure compensation is needed. When I have explained to people that cameras always try for 18% gray they are surprised.

I may have found it. Apparently the default button customization assigns the arrow keys (surrounding the Q button), while in FV mode, to set the currently selected parameter to auto. I hadn’t noticed that in my original setup, and was probably fumble-fingering an arrow keys occasionally. I reprogrammed them and will shoot for a while to see what happens.

I can set my aperture and ISO and use my thumb wheel to change the shutter speed and watch my histogram and the change in the exposure when I change a setting. I could never do this with my old 6D which by the way took amazing images !The EOS R does not have a dedicated exposure compensation button so I basically do the same shooting in full manual.

@PatrickCarrube Жыл бұрын

One important thing to note is that EC *does* work in full-manual mode (even without Auto ISO), though perhaps in a different way than some people are used to. Using EC in full-manual mode (FMM) will allow you to offset your in-camera meter by whatever EC you dial in. For example, let's say you meter a scene and set your exposure settings to 1/200, f/7.1, ISO 100, which shows a perfect "0" in your meter (meaning it is balancing image scene to the 18% grey). If you were to now to dial in +2/3 stop of EC, your in-camera meter will now show this scene as being -2/3 dark. You would have to adjust your exposure settings by 2/3-stop to brighten the exposure in order for your meter to read "0" again. In the example above, you could adjust shutter speed to 1/125 (keeping other settings the same), which would now show as being neutral/0 exposure in your meter. This feature is really handy, even in FMM, since it allows the shooter to "offset" the "0" in the meter, allowing for consistent exposure value changes to be made. I do this frequently in sporting events where LVs can change depending on the player location in the field or in situations where I know the meter is reading consistently BUT is still over/underexposing. A good example is when players are wearing white jerseys on a sunny day, where I will take a few test shots and see where the meter is settling at, set my EC to compensate, then I can adjust exposure settings as needed (such as a high shutter speed, large aperture for action shots), while getting consistent EVs.

Simon very well said. Most KZfaq so-called photographers are guilty of spreading false information. I make manual changes in my settings to correct for the camera meters' shortcomings. And by: Subtracting light for a black or darker than 18% grey. Adding light to a white or a lighter than 18% grey. Correcting my cameras automated exposure compensation features. It's a simple matter of taking a guess shooting, then checking your cameras RGB histogram and adding or subtracting more light. And with todays mirrorless R5 a color histogram can be displayed in your viewfinder making this easier than ever. Something no other Camera manufacturers offer, other than Canon

This is why I use centre weighted average, and sometimes bracket my photos if I'm struggling to guess how many stops to adjust the comp. Also, the mirrorless don't always give true exposure settings, such as when you half press to focus it will brighten the scene to help with focusing. A handy feature with M focus macro lenses with x2 magnification where flash is needed.

Good advice to reset EC when starting. I'd go one step further: Decide on your own "default baseline configuration" and reset the camera to that after each session. That way, if you have to pick it up in a hurry, you have a good starting point. For my shooting and camera, I reset to ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/100, manual mode and single shot each time (been burnt a time or two waiting two seconds for the shutter to fire). It would be nice to be able to define such a state and restore it with a single button push. Who knows, maybe a Real Camera 🙂can do that... but not my little T8i / 850D.

Now that all of the settings are controlled electronically by the chip(s) there are all sorts of things cameras could do it the manufacturers simply thought to build the feature into the firmware. A one button reset to the users' preferred defaults in addition to resetting to factory defaults is obviously one of them. More advanced models do allow you to set a bunch of custom modes that use your preferences for things like what buttons do what, exposure and focus zones and settings, but I'm not sure if they reset things like exposure compensation each time you select them. Since I've also got a T8i I can tell you that the custom settings do include one that will automatically cancel exposure compensation when you turn the camera off manually. It doesn't do it if the camera powers down because you haven't done anything for your predefined time, so you don't lose the compensation you want if the camera powers down because you don't push any buttons for a while.

But life is not perfect, and neither is the changing light. Thank you once again.

Another great video. You have the ability of providing more meaningful and usable content in 8-1/2 minutes than others who take 30 minutes or more. This is why you have become popular. Thank you! (and I'm going to try that tip programing EC into that top button too!)

I’ve been having a difficult time understanding over/under exposure on my Canon T3 and have watched so many videos trying to wrap my head around it. Just had my “ah ha!” Moment watching this-thank you for this!!

I use exposure compensation to my liking most of the time when the image is too dark or light. I have the Canon RP and the ring dial on the lens makes it very convenient to adjust the exposure compensation in addition to the dial on the camera.

A very enjoyable video, Simon. It's not just in sports that it pays to revisit the basics.

Just to add on to your last point, Dynamic Range (Fuji) and Auto Lighting Optimizer (Canon) will under-expose in camera and protect the highlights for you, at the cost of some added noise similar to raising the exposure yourself in post.

I love Aperture Priority and AutoISO on my Fuji X-T5. I shift between three AutoISO presets depending on the sort of shutter speed I want the camera to try for. Usually I'm taking photos in urban situations with a lot of shadows and bright spots, so I very broadly trust the camera to set ISO to try to avoid clipping the highlights or shadows (helped by me always being on Dynamic Range 400). All pictures tend to come out a bit dark but, as you say, that's better than too bright. I will absolutely use Exposure Compensation to save the shadows and/or highlights in a key part of the composition as needed - and I always have the top-dial Exposure Compensation redirected to the camera's front Command Dial for easier access (plus I like how depressing it toggles locking it).

Hey Simon, another great video filled with great tips! Saw your amazing northern lights show fro Cape Breton (Live a Five -ATV)… you did some scrambling and put your hours and knowledge to the test, “if you never cast your fishing rod into the stream the won’t know what awaits for you!😘🙏
