Thank you for posting this video. I have downloaded Darktable, Raw Therapee, and GIMP and just done a quick look at my photos from my camera to Windows Photos, Darktable & Raw Therapee. The way the images look on my camera vs Photos on Windows starts like my camera shows, then gets Super bright, BUT I can zoom in a lot and see in some parts little color circles. This allows me to zoom in and see a lot of clear details vs the other 2. On Darktable, I can't zoom in anywhere near as much and the pics are more of a warm color making it look like I have a lot of work cut out for me to adjust. Raw Therapee actually brings up my pics exactly as they look on my camera, but if I zoom in a lot, it gets blocks. I will need to learn how to do some editing in the near future, but so far, Raw Therapee is my most likely to be used since I see the same colors without making it look like a warm setting like Darktable does. I just have to be mindful that if I want to see more details of what's further back, it gets blocky so I can't get quite the same details as Photos on Windows. I read someone saying that they use Darktable and GIMP, but since I have yet to actually start my editing journey, I would like to know if anyone can explain why both would be needed.

the one thing ill disagree with is the loupedeck, its speeded me up no end, tho its taken me a while to custom the buttons to my liking, but I use it every day and couldn't do with out.

Very well explained.

makasih bang

Is there a way to set the manual focus distance scale to stay on in either the EVF or monitor? Thanks!

Brilliant tutorial. Thanks for the attachments too. It helps enormously to practice and see the results in our own monitors, which is a ton better than watching everything on KZfaq alone. A trillion thanks.

Excellent tutorial. It simplifies everything really masterfully. Thanks a gazillion.

Thanks so much for creating this guide. It is by far, the best guide as to why and how to use the exposure bracketing that I've found on youtube.

Great information, and a Foo Fighters fan too!

Thanks for a great video. I believe that if you want to edit in a bigger spage than rgb, for instance adobe rgb, you will need a monitor that you can switch to adobe rgb, you have much more color space to manipulate the photo. then when finished convert it to rgb for web usage. On a normal monitor (mostly simple rgb) you can not see the adobe color range. From raw shot to edit in big color space (adobe rgb) with a monitor set to adobe rgb and then when finished convert to rgb for everyone to see.

what happens when the SS overrides the interval? there is no time gap to save the photo in memory card! how does this work then?

Hey I shoot on a Sony (A7C) camera, and i really struggle to use/understand the Auto ISO Minimum SS function. The first problem is, let's say I set it to A mode, and set max ISO to 8000, ISOAMInSS to 4". Now after the ISO maxes, the SS again starts to slow down beyond 4", 8",15" and so on (this I still understand). In the program Auto mode, everything goes crazy, I don't even understand what's happening. I expect after the ISO maxes out, and SS is minimum, then the aperture should open up (if the lens allows), but it doesn't , everything is a mess there.

Thanks Great Info!!

This is perfect information, thank you! Question: my 1:1 views are deleted in a week. Still the preview cache indicates 21 GB (!). How to get rid of that?

I love to print my photos so this is imperative to understand.

the backgroung is not compressed, you are just closer to the background. Zero compression. just your imagination.

u not uploaded in 9 months u ok? time to get the camera out again 👍

I remember the first time I discovered clipping highlights. I was taking pictures of a beautiful building with a beautiful blue sky. I took the picture and the bright blue sky was gone in the photo, replaced by a gray sky with no detail. I checked at the blinkies and the whole sky was blinking.

You sir are an excellent explainer!! Ty, this is next level 🍻

Just want to say thank you so much for being an inspiration and great teacher. I’ve learned so much from you and I give you credit for what I’ve learned. Thank you and don’t ever stop helping us.

I really like the shoulder strap idea. I have ordered one that has a small strap that keeps the pad in place

If you need to focus on a moving target why not just use the autofocus continuous? If you want to focus somewhere specific in a static shot why not just use Flexible Spot area? It's even easier than with the back button focus. With the back button focus you have to target an area you want to focus on, press the back button, then recomposition. It's much easier to just use the joystick and select the spot on the screen you want to focus on.

Tillting screen every day. I do not understand how Canon opted for the fully articulating one. I am leaving them for the screen and lack of trhird party lenses and buying Nikon now.

Watching this in 2024 thanks man I’m a video guy trying to get my head around an A74

For what I call everyday photography I use my a6500 and the sony 18-135. For wide or landscape photography I use a a6000 with a sony 10-18mm f4. Most of my photography I travel the world shooting total solar eclipses with a nikon d-750 with a nikon 200mm-500mm, that I probably replace at some point simply because it weighs so damn much. thanks for the tip about the tamron 50-400.

which one is the best

can we change the AEL because I use it for AF/ON button on my Sony RX 10 Mark IV ?

Wow, such a great video. Concise, yet so amazingly informative. What a wealth of helpful tips. Thanks!

5 years later, this was useful to me. Thank you!

Mnt Bromo 👍

I have a Sigma 32mm that we took star pics with last night! It did very well and we didn't have the right back settings on the Sony A73 camera. My daughter gave me this lens and 3 others as she is a pro in Hawaii top ten!! I have a Nikon D5300 older camera also that I got a 10mm to 20mm wide lens I want to try for fun as well...used gear is so much cheaper!!

can any tripod head attach to any tripod??

Very useful video! I will try your settings on my camera... I hope to take nice photo even if my lens is 35mm on apsc (around 50 on ff) probably not super good...

The Converter works but I lost all the quality of the photos, anybody any idea how to remain the RAW quality?

I like the panoramic pictures but don't intend to buy my own printer and framing work area. I haven't had so much success finding low cost professional printers and frames.

Back in Memory land. Excellent presentation. Many thanks.

we do shoot silent shutter mood problem or not..

Is there a way to check inside the camera itself

HELP! I just got this camera last week and I am setting up to go out this weekend for astrophotography and for some reason I dont know where this "Press magnify button" is. It seems like you just pressed the right of the D-Pad but when I do that, it brings up the ISO settings. How can I zoom into the star to focus on it? Please and thank you!!!

thank you very much! really informative! i do have a question tho, can you layer the blackframe over an edited photo? or would this work only if you do the layering when still unedited? maybe by applying the same editing settings on the main photo to the blackframe, could it work? thank you very much

thanks bro! i was so close to buying a crop sensor lense by accident and then i stumbled upon this video!!

Loving this channel. Was using raw + jpeg but editing raw so why did I need the jpeg? Just put my camera on raw & from this video I can swap when I want!! Many thanks.

grazie per aver condiviso queste informazioni, a me ha funzionato tutto al primo colpo. ho usato un iphone come FTP e la fotocamera è una A7C

Binge watching like crazy😅

The best tutorial on this subject, great stuff & easy to understand......now to practice😊 Many thanks.

Wich pc software you used to show Wales?

I am thinking of buying this lens for a 6400 for astro, but I was worried that after the crop correcction 24mm would be to narrow. What do you think?

As far as I can tell the "flip" screen seems to be the "fully articulated", which should serve well those that like the "tilt" screen, the full-articulated, and the ones that would just flip the screen to the outside, and use it like that. As a wildlife enthusiast, and a Sony shooter since the A77V,, I usually close it and use the viewfinder constantly (unless I shoot marco, and then I can always flip it , so I really appreciate Sony's return to a flip screen.

Peter Serafinowicz??!...

thank you for making this series on photography. I am just starting out as an artist and a lot of the fundamental in composition are the same and this is helping me understand so much.
