What's really neat is you can set the camera up so that when you press and hold the "Set" button and turn the main dial you can adjust the exposure compensation and the ISO will be automatically be adjusted if you have ISO set to Auto. I love all the different settings one can use to be creative.
Thank you for this Video! I just upgraded from the Rebel T1i to the 80d and was able to solidify my understanding of this camera... will be looking at your other videos and hope to find one that looks at the use of aperture and creating that blurred out back ground when taking portraits...
thank u very much sir for the video. Can you make a video on making videos from the CANON EOS 80D WITH THE EFS 18-135MM CAMERA. IT WILL BE REALY HELPFUL FOR ME.
Personally, I think manual mode is overrated and is not much different to shooting in aperture priority or shutter priority and using exposure compensation. We rely on a camera's meter to get a base exposure and manually adjust from there if we are in a scenario where we know the meter will be wrong. In an average situation it will usually be right. To say your eyes read light better than the camera's meter is utter nonsense. You cannot look at a scene and know how much light is there. The light not only changes throughout the day, but also in different parts of the scene - such that you only have to move a camera one inch to get a totally different reading. You cannot possibly see this with your eyes. I think what you really meant was that from study and experience you know when the camera is going to get the exposure wrong and have a good idea how much to adjust the exposure by, accordingly. Knowing the camera will be 2 stops overexposed is a totally different thing to knowing from looking at the scene what aperture, shutter and ISO will give a correct exposure. We don't have light meters in our heads. We generally have a particular aperture in mind to get the DOF we require, or a shutter speed to have sharp handheld shots with the lens we are using, or to freeze/blur motion. Therefore, the only creative decision is often choosing a particular aperture or shutter speed. The rest has nothing to do with creativity and will be whatever settings we NEED for a correct exposure. So if you shot in manual and I shot in aperture priority mode... we both decided we needed an aperture of f/11 for whatever reason, then you would be a slave to your camera and have to turn a shutter speed dial until it told you the exposure was correct. There is no creativity involved, you MUST set your camera to a particular shutter speed to obtain a correct exposure. My camera will set it for me. It is a slave to me. My point here is that we both made the same creative decision (in setting the aperture we needed for our particular vision of the image) and then I was able to start shooting while you were turning a dial until the camera said stop. You weren't being more creative than I was, you were simply wasting time turning a dial when the camera could have set the shutter speed for you, much faster. If we both knew the camera would be 1 stop overexposed, for example, I would set - 1 stop of exposure compensation and you would set a shutter speed one stop faster than the meter suggested. We are both turning a dial one stop different to what the meter wants. There are times when we must use manual mode, of course, such as shooting in a studio, where the aperture, shutter speed and ISO HAVE TO be certain values and the camera cannot possibly set these values automatically. When shooting outdoors with fill-flash is another example... or in low light where a minimum shutter speed is necessary to avoid movement blur and a certain aperture to blur the background or have a sharp background, as desired. To set both aperture and shutter speed to taste obviously requires manual mode, but this is only in limited scenarios. The rest of the time I believe it is faster and more efficient to be using aperture or shutter priority modes than messing around in manual mode. The worst example of this is shooting in a situation where the light keeps changing. I set my aperture and then just shoot. As the light changes, so does my shutter speed, automatically. E.g. shooting performers on a stage which is unevenly lit and the exposure settings need to change every time the performers move to a different part of the stage. You would be changing shutter speed up and down like a fiddler's elbow.
There’s nearly no difference between manual, or aperture/time priority and exposure compensation. The slight difference would be the camera making micro adjustments as light changes outdoors, which I find to be a good thing. Manual has its place, it’s great in a very controlled environment, but it’s just another tool in the box that should be understood, not exalted as something better than the alternative, sometimes it might be, sometimes not.
In manual the dial near the shutter changes the aperture and the multi directional changes the aperture also. I have reset to factory settings-- but still no shutter control???
Yes the best tutorial I have heard so far on the 80d . I am still shooting automatic and need to come off it. This tutorial will definitely help. Thank you
I m in manual mode and the exposure is changing whenevr I try to change shutter speed,aperture and iso . can I set exposure constant in manual mode. Like when I m in AV/TV mode the exposure is constant.
Thank you much for this video, your explanation on ISO, aperture was the easiest for me to understand out of all the videos. What would you recommend shooting inside with a big window natural light as to what shutter speed, white balance?
Hi, I have the canon 80d and I have read the manual and searched everywhere my LCD screen will not display a live view unless I am in the video mode but in your tutorial it is showing for photos. Is there a setting I am missing? Thanks!
the wheel he says to use to change the aperture, mine doesn't change. the shutter speed and aperture disappear when i move it, and in their place is an "L." when i stop turning the wheel, they come back. my aperture is stuck at 5.0, and it won't change no matter which direction i turn it and how many times. help?
when i zoom up to 100% on my photos , i realised that with 80d i had a lot of noise using an iso of JUST 200 or 300..does this sound normal for such a camera category ?
thanks for the video. my friend was unsure how to use her camera so I was gonna learn how to use it to show her. This told me everything I needed to know.
Never shoot with flash so this video is good for me keeping that way ;-) love Manual Mode... but, sometimes like a festival or carnaval where people moving constantly I use auto ISO and auto shutter. The 80D for me does it very well... smart camera!
Bring a tripod then you will never have the issue of changing your iso. Use tripod and change your shutter speed and stick to a lower f stop i always use around f9 to f11 never had the issue of dry shitty photos.
The term ISO is not an abbreviation, but instead derives from the Greekword īsos, meaning equal. A prefix that means "equal," as in isometric, "having equal measurements." Eye-so. Drives me crazy to hear you keep saying I.S.O. video was great gave you a thumbs up and sub!
4.5 years after the original upload date and this is still extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Just got my first camera after shooting on iphone, this has helped me understad and use my camera, thank you🙏

You are a GENIUS! Thank you I’m learning how to use my new Canon D80 on manual. I will get there
Dude, thank you! I bought a Udemy course on Canon cameras to get these types of settings down and it was horrible your video was much more helpful!!
Many thanks from the Canary Islands. Great tips and good energy.
Really helpful. Wonderful work
Your videos are really very helpful and really easy to understand.
It helps a lot to understand the DSLR
Well done. Thank you. I'm trying to lean how to use this 80D. I'm new to the DSLR world.
Welcome ;)
How good are you now?
Good day, your videos are so informative. Thanks Anthony (Cape Town .South Africa)
You are the best.....thanx for this tutorial..😇
What would be a great setting for photographing guitars?

Completely agree. Getty Images has purchased a bunch of my photos. Almost all shot using aperture priority.
cooloox i just use it as i know im in full control of the camera

Great video! Thanks
Very nice video! I just got my Canon 80D and learning to shoot in Manual mode for my RUclips unboxings. Thanks
excellent, straight to the point, no BS.
Should I use MANUAL mode when making a DIY or craft video tutorial? or what mode do you recommend ? ... Great video !
good job,, make more video,s about canon 80d
Hi,
thanks a lot for the information, that was very helpful for me.
hi what do you
recommend in shooting in a reception when the bride is walking in to a hall having a flash what camera setting you recommend
In manual the dial near the shutter changes the aperture and the multi directional changes the aperture also. I have reset to factory settings-- but still no shutter control???
This video is perfect! Thank you!!
My histogram clips so much, I adjust but can you review? Thank you.
Yes the best tutorial I have heard so far on the 80d .
I am still shooting automatic and need to come off it. This tutorial will definitely help. Thank you
What about Exposure or Exposure Compensation? I can't seem to set Exposure on Manual. But I can set it in Program?
How about the lense? Has to be in manual focus or af?
I m in manual mode and the exposure is changing whenevr I try to change shutter speed,aperture and iso . can I set exposure constant in manual mode. Like when I m in AV/TV mode the exposure is constant.
Thanks.. Excellent video. Very informative and interesting. Very well explained.
thanks for sharing sir
superb tutorial!
I use manual mode all time, by canon leans 17-55mm F 2.8 with B&W UV fillter. so it's quality is perfect true, i'l do by your advise thankyou sir
Very nice informative video....
This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!! Nice and simple
Excellent and very informative. Thanks for posting.
Great video. I learned some tips with my Canon 80 D!
For me it works to use manual shutter speed and aperture with auto ISO.
Thank you much for this video, your explanation on ISO, aperture was the easiest for me to understand out of all the videos. What would you recommend shooting inside with a big window natural light as to what shutter speed, white balance?
Very Helpful, thanks. Im making the jump from MFT olympus OMD EM1. Im liking the 80D… You recommend?
when i rotate my aperture switch it just comes up with an L?
edit: never mind i figured out that it was on lock :)
Very helpful video thank you, now subscribed
Awesome lesson... the best so far....!!!!
Thanks mate! Very interested in this camera.
I just bought it two mounds ago and I can say I love it.
thanks for this tutorial ! very helpful ! just got a 80D can't wait to use it for my next videos
Hi, I have the canon 80d and I have read the manual and searched everywhere my LCD screen will not display a live view unless I am in the video mode but in your tutorial it is showing for photos. Is there a setting I am missing? Thanks!
just press start/stop button while taking photos
Live view is in settings it says something like live view functions and you hit set normally to show it
thanks, for this fantastic review,
I really needed it.
Very good and to the point video, thank you!
Thank You!!!
The link to your 80d tutorial doesn't work, is it still offered?
Great to see fine detail when discussing buttons etc! Thanks.
the wheel he says to use to change the aperture, mine doesn't change. the shutter speed and aperture disappear when i move it, and in their place is an "L." when i stop turning the wheel, they come back. my aperture is stuck at 5.0, and it won't change no matter which direction i turn it and how many times. help?
ah. nevermind. googled it.
www.dpmag.com/how-to/tip-of-the-week/dslr-aperture-l-error/
What is the least aperture canon 80D has.
It depends on the lens you are using.
the video is really useful
when i zoom up to 100% on my photos , i realised that with 80d i had a lot of noise using an iso of JUST 200 or 300..does this sound normal for such a camera category ?
Using the camera's internal 3x zoom will create noise. I recommend getting a longer zoom lens instead.
Excellent!!!! Helped me to improve manual pix taking!,,,
Make more tutorials for 80D :)
Thank you very much for this. Recently received the 90D and couldn't find any videos on how to use it, this helped a fair bit
thanks for the video. my friend was unsure how to use her camera so I was gonna learn how to use it to show her. This told me everything I needed to know.
En donde los puedo ver en español
The course load page is in Japanese.
links not working, thank
Thanks a lot, but you can show me how to use automatic mode.
Never shoot with flash so this video is good for me keeping that way ;-) love Manual Mode... but, sometimes like a festival or carnaval where people moving constantly I use auto ISO and auto shutter. The 80D for me does it very well... smart camera!
Bring a tripod then you will never have the issue of changing your iso. Use tripod and change your shutter speed and stick to a lower f stop i always use around f9 to f11 never had the issue of dry shitty photos.
Raw or jpeg??
Did i miss the entering mode: evaluative, spot, average, etc? Or variable on the situation. Have you used those white balance gadgets?
epic, thanks for very useful info as beginner with Canon cameras
+krtek Thanks!!
the website doesn't work????
Image quality generally for video what could be
f/22 is wide open? I think you said like that.
Nanogalaxy ...Wide open depth of field, :).
Wide open depth of field? Wide open gives a shallower depth of field compared to smaller apertures (higher f-stop numbers).
Basically the higher the F. Number the less background blur.
I don't know why I am watching this. I don't even own the camera.
The term ISO is not an abbreviation, but instead derives from the Greekword īsos, meaning equal. A prefix that means "equal," as in isometric, "having equal measurements."
Eye-so. Drives me crazy to hear you keep saying I.S.O.
video was great gave you a thumbs up and sub!
Leon Darnell sure half people don't even know iso is International Standards Organization.
It is an abbreviation though.
@@oo0Spyder0oo It is an abbreviation but not an acronym. You abbreviate Jonathan to John, but you would not pronounce it J.O.H.N.
@@EyalaRoberts What part of my 'It is an abbreviation' didn't you understand? I said exactly that, I didn't say anything about acronyms.
Shutter speed bad advice for fast moving subjects
Totally missed saying some very basic stuff. Very annoying.
“EYE-SO”
EYE-SO HORNY
This was bugging me as well.
Thank you for your time and guidance.
