    You are THE BEST!!! Good grief, bought my Z5 yesterday. You taught me more in a few minutes by showing and talking about what you are doing on the ACTUAL camera that the last two days of trying to figure it out. This is my first new camera in 9 years. I have a very steep learning curve. THANK YOU! Keep making these tutorials!

  • @gregshonle2072
    @gregshonle2072 Год назад

    With VR in both the lens and the camera, does the rule of having the shutter speed not being less than the reciprocal of the focal length still apply? From what I've read, the VR allows hand-holding at slower shutter speeds than you could normally do. Of course, if you set the shutter speed too slow, there's only so much handshake the VR can compensate for.

      Hi Sunmer! Yes, you have to get a lens that will open wider than that. Your f value denotes your aperture.

  • @craigmoscarell2027
    @craigmoscarell2027 2 года назад +1

    I'll never understand the refusal to use auto ISO in manual mode. If you're shooting on a tripod or using a flash, sure... Tinker with the ISO. But the light meter you're referring to does literally the exact same thing in auto ISO, and you can tweek exposure compensation if needed. ISO has literally no creative component, if you can't get the depth of field or motion capture you need, something has to give.

    • @Jennifer_nicole
      @Jennifer_nicole  2 года назад +3

      Auto Iso Isn’t reliable. Secondly, you technically shouldn’t take the meter to the middle even though that’s basic instruction, because it takes the part of the photo you’re metering for to mid grey. Anything lighter than mid grey needs to go up a stop or 2 to get the correct exposure. Anything darker than mid grey needs to go a few stops down; otherwise, you’ve effectively overexposed your subject. This is very important for skin. And I would never advise anyone to start Willy Nilly adjusting shutter speed for any important shoot. You could accidentally go too low in the moment like shooting a wedding.

    • @craigmoscarell2027
      @craigmoscarell2027 2 года назад

      I did say that you can adjust the exposure compensation. I guess if you have a slow subject where you can deliberately take time to tinker with all three settings, sure - But when backgrounds rapidly change or lighting levels aren't reliable I really don't see the benefit in using the extra brainpower to mess with yet another variable. If you're outdoors and the ISO would be reliably low you get at least a two stop push in either direction when shooting RAW.
