I like the vid and the detailed breakdown, but could you make a video on how to best adjust your settings in different situations (sunny/night, portrait/landscape) based on your film ISO? I know that it's best to use certain ISO for certain lighting, but this gets tricky on film. I use iso 400 constantly, and I sometimes get the settings wrong in both low and high light. Thanks )
Thank you for making these videos! I was trying to explain this stuff to someone who is new to analog and manual photography, but sometimes it's hard to teach something you've been doing for so long. Video is just a better format for teaching these concepts. I've passed your channel along to my friend!
I just started film photography (actually photography in general) last week. I have bought Minolta Hi-Matic AF which is a PNS just for me to get useg to it coz I never ever used my phone for photography or any digital means and doesn't know a single digital. Then after finishing one roll with PNS, I used Zenit TTL for manual experience and I just shoot it to my heart's content only using the focusing part to make sure everything is not blurred. Thanks for this basics that I will try applying this to my shots.
Most recently got into film photography and it’s sparked my passion for photography all over again. I’m in love with it more than digital. I was a bit confused on this subject and thanks to your video I fully understand now. Thanks man for taking the time to put out such helpful content. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber and supporter.
really enjoyed the detail explained in the video and its helped me tremendously more in understanding the subject. however, at 3:05, you explain how if you set the iso at a higher number then its under exposing, and vice versa to dropping it a lower number will get you over exposing your image. but isn't it the opposite. if you have an iso of 400 and decide to double the iso and bring it to 800, wouldn't that be over exposing since you are giving the image more light than it actually needs, and same says to cutting the iso from 400 to 200, that would be under exposing. just making sure and clarifying but great video and keep it up, i'm excited to dive deep in your other videos.
I loved this! I've searched high and low for good analog tutorials because I want to learn more about my film camera and this is fantastic. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you so much! Just got my grandfather's old film camera and realized I was shooting at 200 on 400 film. Found your video to see how it will come out. Glad to see I didn't completely ruin my photos. Super helpful, ty!!
I'm old school when it comes to photography. There was only film when I started so if I am referring to a digital camera, I call the sensitivity ISO, and if I refer to film, I find that I refer to the film sensitivity as ASA which as you described was the old standard for film.
I really like your video. It's really needed for practitioners like me. Certainly you will have more views if you have Vietnamese subtitles because this art is very hot in our country. Hope you can make more videos about film cameras 😃😃😃 i come from Việt Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳
Wow I'm blown away by how clear your explanation is. Out of curiosity, do you know mechanically what the film cameras do to brighten/darken images when the ISO on the camera is set lower/higher than the film stock rating? Thanks for making learning about film more accessible to everyone!
Patrick Frecker the light meter is just adjusted a little differently to be more sensitive or less sensitive to light. This is usually caused by a different resistance circuit in the light meter.
I’ve been into photography for years, but never really understood iso completely. This video has completely changed my perspective and I have no doubt what I learned from this video will benefit every single photography I take from this point on. Thank you
I'm glad I udnerstand this now, I never really knew what people meant when they were talking about shooting up a stop or down a stop. This channel is great, but now I'm somewhat concerned for my roll of 400 film that i set to 200 cause other people said that was better for this specific roll. I did not know it would overexpose it, and i have not compensated for that so let's hope all turns out well
Cool video! I love shooting film myself, but it's always fun to see someone talking about a subject you enjoy! Personally, I almost always shoot Gold 200, since Iove the warm dreamy look it gets, especially with a wide aperture. P.S: What's the background music? It was really enjoyable!
This is a really good video. Real props. The only comment I would make is that the example for 400 iso exposure looks better to my eye at 200 iso. I think it's because the center of the frame has the walkway and it looks blown out at the "correct" iso. Either way, I'd actually probably go to using this video if I was trying to teach someone about film speed, real talk. Thanks for the passion and the content, man.
Thank you I wish I saw this before I started shooting 😭 just finished my first roll and I'm nervous to see the results lol I wanted to shoot on 400 for my first time but all they had was 200 and I think I had some misconceptions when I started
Thank you so much for this! I have just got into film photography and was debating what number I set my ISO, this has really helped! Thanks so much! :)
am here on youtube just trying to watch videos about analog camera i'll be renting one from mygaragerentals.com and the owner said she'll teach us how to use it, but wanted to learn more about it too thank you for this video, im excited!!
Hey! Recently got my Canon FT QL and this is my first manual film camera. Your videos helps a lot to easily understand how to avoid over and underexposing films. Thank you!

How do you not have more subscribers I love your content, thanks for the advice!
This was brilliant 👍🏼
I'm starting with film photography and this video helped me a lot! Thanks.

!!! Currently getting into film photography and this video is so much help! You’re making my learning journey so fun!
Awesome, I finally get it thanks so much. I just got my first film camera, a canon AE-1, on ebay. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
For someone who has never ever shoot films your video is really helpful ❤ now I can understand ISO for my film and my
Digicam
i finally understood what iso is, THANK YOU.
And I am old crusty guy who has his roots in analog. Played with digital since is started in the 90s. Now its back to Analog and boy do I got this.

Your explanations and the visuals are amazing!!
this video was very helpful thank you
This makes so much sense. I couldn’t understand why people go down in ISO to over expose film. Makes so much sense.
Found a fujica in a dumpster with a larger lense and a flash device, all working, super excited to buy some film and try it out
ISO love this video 😉, thanks for the tips on film and ISO
Great job & thanks for making
This is fantastic video. thanks helps a lot.
just got my first film camera for a class, super helpful thanks man!
one of the better videos to explain this, if not the best. enjoyed the visuals as well, thanks. (easy sub 👍)
Thank you so much! Just got my grandfather's old film camera and realized I was shooting at 200 on 400 film. Found your video to see how it will come out. Glad to see I didn't completely ruin my photos. Super helpful, ty!!
Thank you! This was great help!

This was perfect! Thank you x
Love your videos.. next best thing is .... practice and take notes.
the way you explain things is perfect! thank you so much!
The best explanatory video I have found on the topic - cheers!

Right, film uses ASA.
You, deserved a sub & like & comment! Thank you!
Really like it.
I’m understanding now what will happen with the film I’m shooting with.
Clear explained
You sir have explained this the best so far! I’m trying to learn a little bit before I buy my first camera.
Wow. I've never watched a tutorial and then see a friend pop up as an example (4:03). Wild!
This is by far the best and easiest ISO explanation. Thank you.
Super well explained, thank you!
This was great! Thanks man!
whoa dude this is so helpful!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
just got a canon Eos 3 and was clueless.
super helpful, thank you so much!
super good to learn from, thank you much!!
Beautiful explanation thank you
very clear and concise explanation, thanks
This is great. Thank you
Thank you so much. Super helpful.
You explain really well i'm gonna subscribe
I really like your video. It's really needed for practitioners like me.
Certainly you will have more views if you have Vietnamese subtitles because this art is very hot in our country.
Hope you can make more videos about film cameras 😃😃😃
i come from Việt Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳
Extremely helpful. Thank you
The best video advice for begginers with the ISO on analog 👌 thank you so much!
This video helped out alot! Great channel and really enjoyed the explanation. Appreciate you!
wow this is the best explanation ever thank you so much!!!!
Super useful thank you so much
Thank you so much. I just understand that !!
This really helped me, you're very clear! Thank you!
Super helpful, thanks alot for making the video
thank you so much! I learned a lot from this
This was super helpful, thank you so much. I'm just starting with film and the ISO was confusing me a little.
What you are explaining at 3:00 is excellent. So to underexpose 400 film one stop set ASA dial to 800. Cool. Thank you.
Great, informative video

That helped. Thank you.
This is literally the best explanation I've ever heard! Thank you so much!!
This was perfectly explained for a beginner like me, thanks a lot!

True! Maybe I should have grabbed a better example. Glad you enjoyed it though!
Great informative video, explaining a super complicated idea in a excellent way. Really great video.
You’re the best, this is the best. Thank you
Thank you I wish I saw this before I started shooting 😭 just finished my first roll and I'm nervous to see the results lol
I wanted to shoot on 400 for my first time but all they had was 200 and I think I had some misconceptions when I started

I love your video graphics 🤘
I've been struggling to understand how ISO works but thank you very much, you explained it very clearly
Hey! Recently got my Canon FT QL and this is my first manual film camera. Your videos helps a lot to easily understand how to avoid over and underexposing films. Thank you!
Thanks Noah!!!!!!!
This is so helpful! Thanks :)
Thank you 🫶🏾
youre amazing! these are so great! please dont stop
Thank you for this! May I ask how to overexposed your film in a fully manual film camera?
