      David Manning so I Just got into doing photography I got a Fujifilm s1800 and it takes AA batteries, the batteries that I use die very fast and I was wondering what u think would be the best recharging batteries or what would be the best batteries to use thank u for the help

    ISO - Sensitivity to light.
    - More ISO = more light (but also more grains and noise)
    - outdoor - ISO100
    - Shade - ISO200
    - Indoor - ISO400-800
    Aperture - Size of opening in the lens.
    - smaller the number 👉🏼 bigger the hole (more light)
    - CONTROLS DEPTH OF FIELD.
    - smaller the f/stop lower the depth of field.
    - Only one person - low f/stop (f/2)
    - more person - f/3.5 f/4 etc.,
    - For everything to be in focus (in landscape imgs) go to f/16 or f/20
    Shutter speed - Amount of time the shutter is open.
    - 1/100, 1/250, 1/8000 of a second etc.,
    - slower shutter speed 👉🏼 1", 2", 30" seconds.
    - CONTROLS MOTION BLUR.
    - Slow shutter speeds - used when on tripods.
    - Faster shutter speed used for sports etc.
    - For portrait - 1/250, 1/500 (ppl look sharp)
    - slow shutter speed (1/100) Works best for low light situations as well.
    - SLOW SHUTTER SPEED = MORE MOTION BLUR (More light)
    - When subject is moving - 1/800
    - FASTER SHUTTER SPEED = LESS MOTION BLUR.
    Setting:
    1. Set ISO first based on scene light (ISO100 OR 200 for outdoors)
    2. Decide how much depth of field you want (focus only 1 person or focus the next nearby person (2) etc.,) More Aperture = more depth of focus.
    3. How much motion blur I want to avoid?
    4.
    You take a TEST shot of the scene and the pic is too DARK .
    1. Slow shutter speed down until you don't see a motion blur.
    2. Lower Aperture to LET MORE LIGHT until the subject is in focus.
    3. Raise your ISO.
    You take a TEST shot of the scene and the pic is too BRIGHT.
    1. Reduce ISO.
    2. Raise shuttter speed.
    3. VERY LAST, Raise the Aperture (Remember you' ll have larger circle IN FOCUS)

    ~ My own notes:
    7:56 summary of everything
    0:57 ISO - the sensitivity of camera sensor; the higher the iso, the more sensitive the cam sensor is gonna be; higher iso = more light but also more noise and grainy as well; set your iso based on the SCENE
    2:40 Aperture - the size of lens opening/hole; the smaller the aperture, the bigger the lens hole, the more light comes in and vice versa; example: lens f/3.5 & f/38... 3.5 has bigger hole while 38 has smaller hole; the picture gets more detailed as the lens opening gets smaller; set your aperture based on the SUBJECT; if you want more depth of field (or more detailed pic), go for higher aperture (or small lens opening)
    5:55 Shutter speed - the amount of time (in seconds) that the shutter is open; example: 1/50, 1/250, or 1/8000 of a second for faster shutter speed. There is also 1", 2" , 10" for slower shutter speed meaning your shutter is open for 10" (10 seconds); shutter speed controls motion blur, use faster shutter speed for sports to capture crisp motion and make a fast-moving object freeze in time and avoid blur; slow shutter speed = more motion blur
    Fix scenario #1: image is too dark:
    - slow the shutter speed
    - lower the aperture
    - raise the iso
    Fix scenario #2: too bright:
    - lower the iso
    - raise the shutter speed
    - raise the aperture

    Edit: seeing as there are a lot of people taking this comment EXTREMELY literally, let me clarify. Yes I paid a lot for my photography class in college, but it was only one part of the overall program I was in. It also included work with Photoshop, InDesign and some other things. However, the info in this video was the majority of the focus. So chill people lol!!!

    "Explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old" is, by far, the best way to start when venturing into this world as a beginner. The explanations were given under the premise the viewer knew nothing about each setting, right down to when and why a photographer would need to change any of them. The examples were a great visual aid as well. This was exactly what I needed to feel ready for the next step in learning. Thank you!!

    Camera Cheat Sheet
    ISO: (hgher ISO = more light and noise)
    - Sunny: 100
    - Shade: 200
    - Indoors: 400-800 (1600-3200)
    f/ - Aperture: (higher the f/ less light, lower the f/ more light) & (higher the f/ more depth of field, lower the f/ less depth of field)
    - Aperture controls depth of field
    Shutter Speed: The amount of time (measured in seconds) your shutter is open.
    - Shutter speed also controls motions blur.
    - Slow shutter speeds are used in conjunction with a tripod (landscape or silky smooth cotton candy waterfall) all the way up to long exposure astrophotography shots.
    - Fast shutter speeds are used for action shots (sports, people or pets running) fast shutter speeds freeze the subject without motion blur.
    Step 1.) Set ISO based on scene
    Step 2.) Set f/ - Aperture based on subject.
    - One person, low depth of field
    f/1.4, f/1.8, f/2, f/2.5
    - Group of people, medium depth of field
    f/3.5, f/4 (f/8 is a good middle ground to make sure everyone is in focus)
    - Landscape (All subjects in focus)
    i.e. tree and mountain both in focus (no blur)
    f/16, f/22
    - Indoor (dark / low light)
    f/1.4, f/1.8
    Step 3.) Set Shutter Speed based on subject
    - Portrait (no motion blur, crispy)
    1/250 - 1/500
    - Walking or Running subject
    1/800 or 1/100 for low light (subject is still)
    - Sports
    1/800, 1/1000 or higher. The faster the subject is moving, the faster the shutter needs to be. The objective is to freeze the subject without producing motion blur.
    Problems & Fixes
    Problem 1:
    - You’re shot is ready. The settings are dialed in, but the shot is too dark.
    Fix 1:
    - There are 3 places to go to get more light.
    * Lower shutter speed until you start seeing motion blur, then back it off.
    * Lower aperture until the subject goes out of focus, then back it off.
    * Raise ISO (last resort)
    Problem 2:
    - Your shot is ready. The settings are dialed in, but the shot is too bright.
    Fix 2:
    * First thing to do is lower ISO because there is enough light.
    * If the image is still too bright after lowering the ISO then you need to raise the shutter speed.
    * Very last thing (after the first two) would be to raise aperture. Don’t sacrifice depth of field for less light. You can fix blown out highlights with the first two.

    As an artist I’ve always struggled so much to understand the “technical” side of photography (basically wherever numbers come in, embarrassingly enough….) and have relied on immersing myself in experience as a way to memorize and comprehend the camera settings… but the way you explained them just now was so clear, it clicked and I finally understood it!! Thank you so much!

      If someone can't explain easy enough mostly they themselves are not clear about it. The other thing is good photography is involved but not a deep science subject which requires deep amount of knowledge. Usually you start with basics and if it sticks you will learn on ur own by experience but some folks who charge huge amount of money needs to make it complicated to look their expensive course worthy.

    @welcti 3 года назад +13

    The advice to set ISO first and shutter speed last is great for photography. However, everyone should keep in mind that if shooting video, the order is basically reversed. You typically want the shutter speed set as close as possible to 2x your framerate, you still want to set aperture second to get the depth of field you want, and then you adjust ISO last to get brightness to match. If your camera doesn't have enough usable ISO range to achieve the right target brightness, if the image is too bright, you can darken it with filters. If it's too dark/noisy on the other hand, then you may have to compromise on depth of field, and possibly slow down the shutter speed slightly.

    I just watched Basics in 10 minutes really well done ! Unless you're a trained actor you have the natural gift of public speaking. I took a Photography class in high school (class of 76) now retired and experiencing the urge to shoot again. Of course in the 70's it was film and there was a certain rush you don't get in the digital age the excitement of the image appearing on the blank page in the developing solution and heady aroma of the chemicals. Back then no instant test shot you evaluated the the shot the same way then took multiple shots adjusting the settings and it wasn't until you got to the dark room that you could tell what worked which added to the excitement. I needed a quick refresher on the basics you just described and it all came flooding back. The 70's was a special time grow up it's funny once I learned the basics in my adolescent arrogance I never did the homework but I was always shooting what interested me. After a few months I said to my teacher I never do the homework and you never say anything. He said the homework was for people who don't have ideas of their own keep doing what you're doing. I like the fact that you give precise easy to understand information without bullshit small talk unnecessary bells and whistles. I'm a trained Actor and as you can see I can talk. Excuse me for pontificating but your video inspired me.

    I actually adjust the ISO last all the time. I see ISO as a last measure that will only be bumped up from 100 if I really need it. Usually I just set my aperture first, then my shutter speed as low as possible while maintaining the ISO at 100, and only if I can't make the shutter speed slower than what I usually feel comfortable (around 1/160), only then I'll bump up the ISO. I use a 1.4 56mm on a Sony a6400, btw.

      Try Aperture priority mode as I've been learning as well and see your photos go to the next level. Happy shooting!

    You’ve done such an awesome job in putting together just right amount of information for someone to get the gist of what they should know when they pick up a dslr camera. Great refresher for a semi pro too!

      You can apply it to your Phone Camera if you can :)

      @@gionspenzers I think some phone cameras like the S9+ I think was the first phone camera with a variable aperture lens so you could actually apply the aperture changing techniques from the video to it.

      @@willwunsche6940 Yeah it's pretty cool that a phone camera can actually change the size of the Aperture of your camera at a small size of a grain. (Camera of a Cellphone is very small at sizes, like a size of a Pea or A Grain of Rice)

    This was incredibly helpful! I've read so much on photography and nothing ever stuck. But your explanations were so easy to follow. Thank you so much!!

    I just got a T7, and am an ultra-noob. I know I'll never be a professional, but these concepts are really useful. I just want to make my kids pics nice. Music, guitar, choir, and musical theater. Family vacations would be cool too. Bonus if the dog comes through. Thanks!
