How to Use Shutter Priority Mode for Wildlife Photography - Advantages & Disadvantages

- Shutter Priority Mode for Wildlife Photography. This mode can be useful as you can select the shutter speed you're after, then let the camera do the rest of the work. Here I demonstrate how to to use shutter priority on your camera. There are some drawbacks though, and for that reason it's not my favourite exposure mode.

Thanks Paul, I usually shoot manual with auto ISO, switching to Shutter priority for times when the light becomes very changeable. Again though sticking with auto ISO. I find setting the ISO can at times be costly especially when subjects are rapidly moving between rapidly changing environments… I mainly shoot wild Owls… keep up the cracking videos 🦉👍🏻
Thanks. Auto ISO is my preference in changeable light for sure.
Yeah, unless you want to control the exposure I don't see the point in using a fixed ISO. I would only use a fixed ISO in full manual mode.
I almost never use a fixed ISO, but I do occasionally set an Ev adjustment which basically does the same thing. Usually though the camera gets it better than I can with moving subjects in changing light and I tend to regret adjusting eV.
Most of the time I'm using Tv for wildlife. I used to shoot in manual but I'd get burned with overexposure sometimes and Tv helps avoid that. It is pretty rare that it ends up with more DOF than I want since I'm usually constrained by light.
Found this really informative Paul , many thanks.
Great, thanks Rod.
Great tutorial! Thanks for going over the camera settings.
You are welcome.
Paul, I’m an amateur photographer, learning the tricks. I have found your videos are informative, easy to understand and follow. Thanks for sharing.
Great to hear. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography pleasure
I've used manual mode for most of the time but after watching you I will give shutter priority a chance and see what happens.
Thank you very much Mr Miguel. Have a great day.
Thank you Jim.
Hi Paul, if I’m doing static photography I’ll manually adjust aperture and shutter speed and play with exposure compensation accordingly, but when mobile it’s shutter priority and auto ISO I’ll also use that setting for aircraft photography.

Sounds good Alan. Shutter priority can work for sure - I'm currently trying it out a bit more.
Great tips and advice as usual Paul 👌keep them coming we all love to learn!
Cheers Paul. Planning to do more like this.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography cheers Paul great that you reply to your subscribers😇
Hi Paul.
Would it be better to put your ISO on auto that way your not always playing around with the setting and your able to capture the subject and not miss out?
Not to answer for Paul but Auto ISO can be good if you set a cap that it can go to as a maximum.
Auto ISO can also be good if you put in your other settings and are walking around handheld, Sometimes walking through fields or woodland ill set it to auto ISO as the lighting conditions can change quite quickly in woodland areas.
I do that less now as I've been practicing/learning more over the last few years. But you absolutely can use the auto ISO if your not that quick on the settings and its the difference between missing the shot or not.
Great advice.
I think generally it''s better to use auto ISO based on my recent tests.
@@Voodoo. This is a somewhat religious topic so I don't want to start a big argument, but I'd suggest not capping your max ISO, at least in most cases. If you're noticing the maxed ISO and reducing shutter to let in more light to result in a proper exposure, then of course that will improve IQ (assuming you don't get undesirable blur). However, if the ISO limit just results in the image being underexposed, and you then increase exposure in post, then on a Canon camera that is actually going to result in a lower IQ than just letting the camera use a higher ISO.
You can test that out in a dark room. The noise isn't a result of the high ISO setting, but rather a result of creating an image without enough light. Increasing ISO on a Canon body will increase the sensor gain, which does create noise, but it creates less noise than what you get if you just add one or more stops of exposure in post.
Now, that behavior is definitely vendor-specific, and with some it varies across the ISO range. In an ISO-invariant camera then the limit doesn't change anything other than what you see in the camera - you get the same image at ISO 10,000 or 20,000 if you adjust in post to the same histogram. Canon bodies are not ISO-invariant.
I'm sure the behavior also varies by model somewhat.
There is certainly an argument for manual-everything if you have the time to adjust to get the image you want, or just using bracketing if it makes sense so you can pick the image you want in post. However, if you're going to let the camera control the overall exposure, it probably makes sense to just give it more leeway. If you end up underexposing and then push it more in post you're going to actually get a worse result.
Now, that might or might not make as much sense based on your style of photography, or your camera body, so by all means just take that for what it is worth. When I actually did some testing in a dark room and played with ISO/shutter/etc to get exposures that I knew would be a certain number of stops apart/etc, I found that it was best to just let the ISO go as high as it needs to in order to get the right exposure. In any case, just tossing it out as food for thought...
Nice walkthru Paul :) Personal i prefer manual and often with auto ISO but all depending on the situation :)
I prefer manual too. Been quite interesting experimenting with shutter priority.
Awesome tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks Paul 👍
cheers Mal.
So what is your go to mode? I like manual with auto iso.
I use a few options but full manual is my preferred method. Otherwise I often use Aperture Priority, often with auto ISO.
Stunningly beautiful Deer pic at 2:03 Paul
Very kind Philip. thank you.
Thanks 👍
Hi Paul I have been really enjoying your uploads. I have 2 questions. Why do you use neutral photo style and K for white balance? I tend to use landscape photo style and choose the white balance setting based on the weather, but it's one area I don't really understand well. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you. White balance just really changes the warmth - lower temperature is bluer, higher is warmer. I prefer the cooler casts generally. I tried setting the Kelvin on a friend's advice - I leave it on 5300 almost all the time. It just seems to give really consistent results for me that way. Neutral I prefer because it doesn't have anything added and I can add colour and contrast later.
Sometimes is beter Shutter Priority (Tv/S) with automatic ISO!
I'm thinking that's a better option, yes.
That camera that you have, is that enough pixels for the type of photography you do?
It's enough for me. Rarely do I need to use an image very large. Having said that you can still get pretty large prints from this camera.
When I was out at the weekend I had set tv at 1/1000 on my canon 90d with sigma 150-600, with auto iso, which was 200, but the aperture number kept flashing. Should I have taken auto iso off and set it manually. I m very much still a learner.
It sounds like it was too dark for the camera to get the exposure. If it's auto iso then the iso should change and go higher if necessary.
How do I find Tv mode on my 1d mk iii? I can only switch between M and Av!!
It should be on the main Mode button.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography nope. I press the mode button, but, I can only still select M or Av!
Haven’t got auto iso on my camera😢
Which camera is it?
1D Mkiii
I don't think it does it on this camera.

It sounds like like there wasn't enough light available for the settings.
