If I'm outdoors (landscape, street. etc.) My usual set up is - Manual for shutter speed and F-stop and I use auto ISO. I can control the how high the ISO can go so I'm still in control. I find that on modern cameras high ISO is not as big of a deal as many people make it out to be. When printing photos I never go bigger than a standard 16 x 20 so my top ISO is set on 1600 so at that ISO and lower my prints come out super sharp. Thank you for putting out awesome videos they have been a great tool for me growing as a photographer.
Hey Paul, your videos are always good stuff for old hands and newbies. You are always putting something out there that helps me out. If you have an open mind, you will always be learning something new or some way to do it better. Thanks my friend!
Always look forward to your videos. Definitely one of my favorite photography channels.
Paul your one of the best on RUclips. I like how you get straight to the point without all the playacting many RUclipsrs do. Gone through most of your videos and learned a lot. Thanks.
Thank you, I'm definitely going out early in the morning to get some shots of my local park and lake using the dreaded manual mode.
Hi Paul, Nice to see another one of your videos, great Diagram example of Exposure. And the Manual mode examples were easy to understand. I remember when i first started photography it was very daunting and Information overload. The new photographers will pick it up easy, with the way you explain it. Great video and nice presentation, Thank you.
Thank you Paul, you are the man, and the Photo Genus for sure! I always watch your videos and give them a thumbs up. Be safe, take care, and keep up the good work!!!
Excellent revision for me! Superb explanations.
Thanks Paul. Good review for all level of photographers.
Thank you Paul for sharing your vast knowledge in such an understandable manner. I have a “brand new” 9 year old Canon Rebel T6! I’ve never used anything but auto modes and have accidentally gotten a few good shots. After binge watching your beginner videos I am excited with the results. All the difference in a snapshot and a photograph. All I needed was someone to explain/demonstrate in a common sense approach. Many heartfelt thanks again!! Keep up the good work!!
My dad was a whole professional photographer and only used auto settings (aside from manual focus). He did weddings, product catalogs, cars, etc. He would edit the photos slightly, and they'd turn out beautiful.
Paul I always like and appreciate your very informative videos. I have recommended your channel many times since you’re approach is so simple and easy to understand. Thanks!
Awesome video very clear, thank you!
thank you! you always make things easy to understand.
Thank you so much, your explaination is amazing. It makes it for me as a beginner so much easy er understanding my camera on manual.

You're so welcome, appreciate the feedback and support.
Some more good tips Paul.
Thank you for your video! Liked commented and subscribed! I’m learning a lot from this
Always enjoy your videos; I never fail to learn. I recently received the Canon 85mm f1.8 lens as a gift and am excited to try it out in different situations. I was wondering if you would consider making a video on this lens and giving your thoughts and tips.
Good simple lesson!
Very Helpful Video
thanks!
Very nice job si
Hiya Paul your vlogs are the best around and so clear & easy to understand so thank you for your help.
I noticed that before you took the photo that you dialed in 200 ISO but it had changed to 100 afterwards, why was this please?
All the best.
Hi Paul - very interesting video -made a lot of sense and easy to understand . May I ask what tripod head you use please? I have arthritic hands and struggle with undoing knobs to slide in the camera to tripod head , you seem to just click it in with a lever
Please make video on manual potrait indoor and outdoor photography. I have canon 600D camera.
Great video. I just wish I knew how to get the main menu (the one with the "P" or "M" in the top left hand corner) without having to switch my camera off and on again.
I’ve been using manual mode (Nikon D3S) without problems. Recently, however I wasn’t able to shoot above 250. It’s just shows bulb if I try and go above 250. In the info window above there is a X after the manual M symbol. I’m assuming this is some sort of a max setting. I got this whether I use auto iso or not.
Your suggestions didn't seem to work with my D7100. I guess that you're suggestions for setting the Aperture and F number is only applicable to certain Nikon's.
Hello Paul, can i use these settings on a Canon 1200D?
Hello, wondering if you can help. I have a Canon Rebel T6i and just bought a Vivitar Telephoto Lens. I can adjust Shutter speed and ISO, but the aperture will not allow for adjustment as it is not recognizing that I have lens attached. I have searched all over to find the feature "Release Shutter without lens", but cannot find that anywhere on my camera. Do you know how to do this by chance? I want to adjsut aperture as well while in Manual mode.
🔟👌
Hello, I shot manual all the time, I have a mirror less camera, If I shot in doors with light from the room my picture has black lines , I found out is because the light and the camera, but I try to get a howl on top of my porch light and I have the same problem, I chose auto and the picture was okay. Wy I didn't have thise lines ?
The shutter was set at 1/8000 😮 I’ve never gone that high but yet my photos still look dark a lot of times. I usually set mine at 1/250, so that could be my problem? I set the aperture to f8 and ISO to like 800. It’s mostly shots that are twice the distance as the photo you took. I was able to master my previous camera in manual mode. my current camera is canon 5D mark iv, and I’m having trouble trying to master the manual mode. Sometimes I’ll do auto just to copy the settings in manual mode, which sounds like I’m cheating 😂
The 1/8000 was to illustrate severe under exposure. Did you follow the very next segment where he explained the use of the built-in exposure meter to determine the correct exposure?
In answer to your question, yes, that could be the problem. Try adjusting the exposure using the exposure meter and you may be pleasantly surprised! I don't know what you're using, but in both my digital and film cameras the meter is visible in the viewfinder so I can adjust it without lowering the camera from my eye.
As @Jason Carter points out there's no one size fits all solution.
When I was a lad it was all manual either using the "Sunny Sixteen" rule, a hand held meter, or, luxury, a built-in meter where you adjusted the settings to match two needles...
What's the point of editing the photo? Why isn't the regular photo enough?
Hello I'm. New to the digital camera I purchase the eos 4000d from a pawnshop. when I look in the viewfinder I see some small squares, one in the middle and the rest on the side and top of it does it suppose to be like that
I can only assume that you are seeing the focus points, they are arranged in a diamond shape. This video will tell you more : ruclips.net/video/98J200KEPog/видео.html
Best wishes.
@@photogenius thanks
Hello this my sound stupid do the focus point stay on their or can you remove it
Hi there. Is this in Manly Brisbane at all? I'm following the things you are doing but the line where it says about the exposure being off is not telling me if my picture will be overexposed or underexposed. I have a canon 1500d
Hi Sally. Yes we are Brisbane located - here's a link to our website should you wish to find out more : www.photogenius.com.au
Paul @ Photo Genius
@@photogenius Hi again. just booked your course on the 28th. So keen
Fantastic, I look forward to meeting you.
We are also (weather permitting) running a photowalk / meet up on the Brisbane bay this weekend. For more info : www.photogenius.com.au/brisbane-photowalk-photo-genius
If the Aperture is very high (low number), how is everything focused in the picture?
It's not.
When I take a picture of manual mode? Nothing comes out
What exactly happens?
When i make pictures of my cats, the pictures get blurry. What do i need to change ?
Shutterspeed to faster and make sure the focus is right.
@@muzlee7479 yeah but then the pictures get to dark if i increase the shutterspeed, i am taking the pictures indoor with light from outside. Can i put iso to 400 maybe?
@@jaloemimoe2319Of course you can! Depending on the camera you have you can increas the iso a lot more, but older cameras struggled a bit with anything higher than 1600.
A thing I learned is better to shoot at high iso and have a noisy image than having a blurred mess. Noise can be reduced, blur can't. For context my pro camera can easily handle up to iso 10k and can be pushed to iso 50k in the worst situations (tho that is really pushing the line of acceptable noise).
@@muzlee7479 thanks a lot! I now shoot with an oldy but am getting my a7 iii soon , cant wait
@@jaloemimoe2319 I also shoot sony, I have the a7riii. These cameras are awesome
I still don’t understand 😢
Its so difficult to hold on to the info
It's totally normal to not understand or even grasp the majority of information in this video.
Don't worry too much about getting it 100% because it's now time to step outside with your camera and start getting practical experience! Fiddle around with settings as much as possible. I recommend taking some shots at night or at home with dimmed lights.
When you dont understand something, cone right back to the video.
Best of luck!
