Why didn't you show the shutterspeed treshhold for AV mode? That's the most handy feature and i'm curious what values can be set there (up to what speed you can select)? I hope you can reply. Thanks.
+Anthony Hershko Hello and thanks for commenting. In general most of Canon's cameras menu system is pretty close. If its not exactly the same, it will enough to get you going in the right direction. Cheers, Joe
Just bought this camera, your video is good. Thanks for the tips. However, I wonder if you would clarify what would be the best settings ( ISO...M / TV / AV etc...) for an outdoor concert shoot using a 70-200 f2.8 & a canon 24-105L f4 lens.
rich Mck Thanks for commenting. You exposure settings will always very depending on the amount of light needed to get a proper exposure. Just remember that at 200mm on the 70-200, your actually at 35mm full frame equivalent of 320mm. So you will want your shutter speed to match or exceed it. So I would use no slower then 1/320sec shutter speed. Then at a distance of about 40ft from a person in the band at the concert at aperture of f/2.8 and using 200mm. You will have between 1 and 1 1/2 feet of depth of field. So its very shallow. But zoomed out to about 135mm you will have about 3ft of depth of field. That said, do try to use f/2.8 to isolate your subject the most you can, unless you actually want more in frame of course. But the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L mark II IS USM lens is dead sharp even used at f/2.8. This is good because you will want to use the fastest aperture (f/2.8) in low light to keep the ISO down. The max ISO you will ever want to use and actually take a decent photo is ISO3200. However if you want to blow the photo up poster size, you really can't go no higher then about ISO800. Hope this helps.
Hello Sir, thank you for the tut. I have a 70D as well but very disappointed due to amount of the noise. Actually I do photography only but not comfortable to set my camera even at ISO200. Since I noticed that during my post Light-room always add exposure (if click auto) to my pictures. So I thought in a high ISO to overexpose for one stop and then in post I can reduce some exposure to avoid some noise too. What do you think about this idea, is it any good?
ISO200 should be perfectly clean. That is the ISO I use on all my portrait sessions. The 70D can have clean image easily up to ISO800 with just a little noise showing up at 1600 and 3200 being usable in bright situations. At least that how mine is. Your base setting for luminance noise removal in Adobe Lightroom should start at 10 and go up to 20 by ISO3200. Increase your color noise from 25 to 50 if you are using it in really dark environments or have a lot of deep dark shadows in your image. As far as exposing you photo, everyone seems to have their own technique. I personally just make sure the sky isnt over exposed. So this means often lowering the exposure compensation by 2/3rds of a stop. You can not bring back sky that has been over exposed becuase that data is lost. However you will find often that underexposed parts of your image still contain data that can be pulled back in post processing. Just do not under expose so much that the shadows become noisy.. Hope this helps.
Hello, sir! I'd like to ask you, what firmware you have installed in the camera? I ask because I lack Auto ISO range and shutter speed in my menu. I also don't have 25600ISO as the option. I'm at my wits end, I'm asking everyone and starting to think this is just some differences between US and EU market. Thank you
Hello David, there has been no change in firmware since its release (ver 1.1.1). If you do not see many of the options like AutoISO control, then its very likely your not using M, Av or Tv modes. If your using auto modes, most options are disabled. Hope this helps.
Hello Joe. I wonder if you could take the time to help me out. I have just purchased a 70D and some decent lenses but have not got a clue how to set it up or use it. I have it on factory default and want to know the best way to set up the camera so all i need to do then is adjust for exposure depending on what picture i want. Any help would be great. Thanks Joe. Also i subbed you as i like your video's.
+Terry Oreilly Best way to start is put it in Av (Aperture Priority) mode and set your ISO to 100. This will let you see how your aperture effects your shutter speed. You will have to adjust you ISO up or down depending on your lighting. But this gives you semi control of your exposure. Which will help you take your first step learning exposure.
Thanks joe. I was going to do that and just put the iso on auto. I do understand the exposure side: Shutter effects the motion or freeze the action and apperture gives you shallow or deep depth of field. So i have come up with a solution to get me going and that is take your advice and depending if i want to freeze the motion or capture a bit of blur, i know if i alter the shutter after that i will probably have to alter iso. It is all a dance joe is it not. But i will have it on AV and iso 100 and go from there. Thanks joe. Your a star. Much appreciation from Liverpool - UK.
Terry Oreilly Thank Terry, BTW I made a video on one flash exposure which I also talk about ambient exposure. Its the first video in my Strobist Tutorial playlist. Do check it out. It may help you understand a few more things. Cheers, Joe
Thanks joe. When i got my 70D yesterday i also got speed lites. The yongnuo type with the transmitter and reciever so i will have to learn how to use them. I will take a look now.
Hi joe, i like your videos very helpfull, i have a question hope you could help me! i'm Using canon 70D with Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f2.8 II , can you teach me adjust the setting for aurora light. Appreciate it.
Hey Rick, when it comes to night exposures I like to start off with using ISO1600, 20sec shutter and f/2.8 and take a test photo to see if the exposure needs raised or lowered. Hope this helps.
on the 70d auto iso manual mode.. have u noticed that u cannot adjust the exposure compensation to go plus or minus? it only does bracket unlike the 7d, 80d and so on... msg me pls.... doing it in P mode is ok
+Chocolate Creampie Hey CC good question. This setting is only available in M, Av, Tv, P, B and C modes. If you are using any of the scene or automatic modes you will have no control over the ISO. Hope this helps. Cheers.. :-)
I'm not at all happy with the auto ISO. Mine does't seem to work, it nearly always sticks at ISO 100 which is stupid on a dark day using a 400mm lens ! (giving me very slow shutter speeds)
On the 70D it will prioritize exposure settings based on what mode your in. Av will let you set the aperture, but will often force the shutter low as it thinks it should go before bumping up the ISO. Tv will let you set the shutter speed and then open the aperture up before raising the ISO. Which all sounds great but sometimes does not work out very well. The 80D will also let you set the min shutter speed, but the 70D would not. I often found is that I would take a test shot in shutter mode Tv at the shutter speed I wanted, then go into Manual mode and dial in my settings. Letting me force the camera to do what I want. Sometimes I often may leave the ISO on auto if I am moving around. This tended to work out better. Some of the best wildlife shots are from photographers that in all aspects are actually hunters. They will bring a tripod and wait for those really good shots. The tripod will let you get a better shutter like down to 1/125th second in lower light without the issue of camera shake or high ISO issues.. But if your on the move, get a mono pod. Monopod so much helped me out.. Plus makes a great walking stick..
Quote, "but will often force the shutter low as it thinks it should go before bumping up the ISO. " End quote, Yeah, that's what I meant, it was giving me stupid shutter speeds like 1-15th second with a 400mm lens, that's crazy ! You'd think it would bump it up to around 500th of a sec ? Don't get me wrong I often shoot very low shutter speed, but only when I need to ! Thanks for taking the time to reply, and nice video BTW, (I meant to say that on my first post)
If you have your ISO in Auto, it "should" stop lowering the shutter speed before it gets slower then your focal length.. But if its not a Canon lens, its a chance it may not. I would try Tv mode and just lock the shutter speed in at 1/500 and let the camera adjust the rest. It does not always yield the best images, but normally very doable for walking around. Hope this helps. :-)
Are you looking for a way to set the automatic ISO settings on your Canon EOS 70D? Many believe in always having full manual control, other prefer to let the camera do all the thinking. Well there can be a compromise. In this video I will show you how to set your ISO settings so you can shoot without having to worry about high ISO noise. #canon #70d #ISO #tutorial

Great video! It's also good for 6D?
Thanks!

Yes! Your words helped ! Thanks a lot. Btw, it is a sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens without IS which I used to compose some cool shots...
Thanks again!

Hi I do loads of fishing photos what do u think I should set it at?
Auto.. At least until you have a better understand of exposure.. Hope this helps..
thanks a lot joe...very3 help me

thanks joe , i will try this setting which you advised :D
my camera only show ISO 200 as the minimum.. can you please tele how to get ISO100
+vproex 70D? Just change it like shown. Make sure your also set to native ISOs. 100-6400.. Not High..
Yes i did that but still nit Givin me the 100 iso option
+Joe's Photo & Video Blog i gat it .. thanks
Same like me. Just have 200 minimum. How to set up?😒
on the 70d auto iso manual mode.. have u noticed that u cannot adjust the exposure compensation to go plus or minus? it only does bracket unlike the 7d, 80d and so on... msg me pls.... doing it in P mode is ok
Ellbert, you can not adjust the Exposure Comp in Manual Mode at all. Its only for Semi Auto and Full Auto modes. Hope this helps.
I don't have that setting, I only have 3 camera tabs at the top why?

WELL, MISTER, HOW'D one lock on 400, thank you
When I am shooting street/travel I usually use Auto ISO and I set it to 4,000 tops
I would like to capture the stars, but I cannot.
What mode should I use?
Thanks.
Hey Reyna, to properly capture stars you need to switch over to manual. It requires a long exposure and of course a tripod as well. Hope this helps.
