The auto ISO tends to be too high. I stick to all manual across the board. It’s takes practice to average out the best settings but eventually you do it very fast.
Same, I use iso as a compensation for a lack of light. I set my shutter and f/ to get a desired look and then I manipulate my iso.
How do you set your shutter and apture without knowing your lighting? Do you set the iso then change it around to fix the lighting?
@@lukebn. You choose the aperture you prefer e.g. wide open for portraits for subject separation. As for shutter speed, for stuff like sports photography you set it high to avoid motion blur or in other sceneries you can opt for a long exposure to have a more artistic photo. Everything depends on the scene you're trying to shoot. ISO is for compensating, when you've let too much/little light in, it brightens/darkens the final shot.
@@bartoszszczepanik2211 tysm i actually understand it a bit more now, ❤️
Yes! Unless even if I set the upper limits of auto ISO to 1600, in many cases especially indoor with flash, it still tends to go high on ISO unnecessarily, which results in blow outs and loss of ambience. I prefer full manual if I was to shoot manual
Auto iso is great. It should be everyone’s go-to if your light is constantly changing. You’ll capture more great shots than you’ll miss from spending time dialing in your settings. Being in the moment is how we all get our best shots. Sometimes it’s okay to let the camera do some of the work.
But you lose the ability to capture darker more dramatic/moody photographs. I usually stick to 100-300 and just switch shutter speed on the fly. Only situation I use automatic ISO is for street photography when there’s genuinely not time to be swapping shutter speeds and aperture.
@@mattplaine4670 wildlife photography, street, kids at the park or indoors, outdoors on partly cloudy days. It works for any situation where your light changes or your subject might be moving into and out of varying light rapidly. Get more missed shots and poor exposures trying to dial in ISO. Just let the computer brain do it.
@@Perceptence - you know in Auto ISO Mode - exposure comp just changes your ISO- RIGHT? - you can do the same on the fly with a dial you set for ISO.
@@mattplaine4670 - That's exactly how I shoot, I use ISO to get the mood of the photo I'm after - as long as the Histogram shows I'm not blowing high lights, I don't care what the ISO value is up to 12,800 - after that I'll adjust the SS to lower it.
@@TheWildlifeGallery388 if you're shooting at ISO 12,800 then either your lens isn't bright enough, or you're shooting with too high of a shutter speed, which is understandable if you're shooting birds near sunset. But then the photos become so grainy it's hardly useable anyway.
Hmm ive always done auto everything but ive never thought of letting iso be auto, as long as i set the minimum & maximum it makes perfect sense. Im going to try that
most situations can be solved with Aperture priority and auto ISO... in daytime / outdoors set a lower max auto limit, increase indoors and low light. being comfortable with noise is a personal thing, I want it as low as possible but i wont let it get in the way of taking a shot so I'd take more noise than no shot specially with the current generation of full frame cameras.
ill go maual iso on tripod work and manual shutter speed on motion (freezing or blurring) either limited shots.
Thank you
Which lens are you using
🎉🎉
Good hints except the one with auto ISO, never use that setting if you are not sure how your camera handles high iso values.
if auto iso is giving you wrong values, you are probably not metering with the right setting and are dealing with high contrast scenes... With the correct metering option it should give you great results all the time. This isn't the 1980s, we have pretty good tech rn
@@dimitrijekrstic7567I have my metering set to multi when is that right compared to say center or like half body portraits vs full body with landscape photos
Aperture priority or shutter priority aint so bad...
I don’t think changing iso takes too long
I better do it myself
Please can you tell also what mode of exposure metering you use 99% of the time?
it all depends on what you're shooting! what works for someone 99% of the time might not work for you and your type of subjects.
My problem with the auto iso is that my camera doesn't get good photos about 800iso. I just bought a new canon r6 mark II, when it arrives i have to retry and see how it performs 😊
I like to have the control ring set to iso on my r6 mark ii and pay attention the exposure compensation. Also this camera you can go really high on iso and have really good pictures
Any camera and lens recomendation for portraits shooting ?
50mm or 85 mm lens
Any digital camera with interchangeable lens will serve you well, use 50mm on APS-C and 85mm on full frame
The 85mm Is overall best for portraits. Give a nice slightly slimmer look.
Once i try shooting in manual mode without external....my camera begins to lag
About the auto iso, I have the A7 iii, I don’t believe it has given me the best (low) iso on auto mode. Could you explain more about it, or how you see it?
Thats where the ev dial comes to play. ;)
Everybody should be using auto-ISO on manual mode with exposure compensation. Especially on ISO invariant cameras. If you are not doing that then you are making your life harder for no reason
That’s not really Manual imo
Its mandatory that you understand and learn to use ISO in each situation
But once you learn it, its actually faster to shoot when you just have to think about shutter speed and aperture
Of course, some cameras will measure "the light" more poorly than others so it will depend on the quality of the camera, and also, the mode that your re using to measure the light in the camera options
@@antaldamian using aperture priority could lend to slow shutter speeds, and that would result in shaky images, anything below 1/100 has a higher risk of shakyness
@@antaldamian we don’t care imo, nobody asked you
@@brunomarreirosbgI only shoot in apeture priority at the moment, maybe I should change that...
@@brunomarreirosbgbut I set my min SS to 1/125 which it sometimes breaks
What is your camera😅
Looks like a7siii but idk
If you set it to auto ISO you are basically still in Auto mode. And it is actually even more work if you need to adjust the brightness since now you need to use +/-EV. But I guess it's OK if you're a beginner and want to learn how to use the camera
Manual mode means that you are in control of both the shutter speed and the aperture. Auto ISO can easily be adjusted with +/- ev as at least on Sony cameras, they all have a dedicated dial for ev. On most other cameras you can program a dial to ev
@@Withalenius so the issue here is, using +/- ev as a way to take your photos is cumbersome and slow. And it means you have one more thing to play with to get the shot you want. And it's really not 'manual' mode. Sure you get to control the aperture and shutter speed. But actual exposure is fully automated. There are times when I do want to leave it on AutoISO. But unless you can program your camera lens ring or some other custom control where you can quickly and easily adjust +/- EV, it can slow down your photo capture process.
@@vueport99 I use both manual ISO and auto. Sure manual ISO has its time and place but I have captured many shots that would have been severely under or overexposed if I used full manual. It gives me one less thing to think about, letting me focus on my framing and vision
@@vueport99 Using EV+/- is slow? there's literally a dial on top of every single sony mirrorless camera that adjusts the value. I'd rather get a great image that's technically flawed than miss a shot playing with settings.
@@supremeleader9872 ok I agree with you if it comes down to missing a shot. In my case, I can dial the aperture and shutter very quickly with thumb and index finger. I can custom program the EV +/- on the ring I suppose but what happened was during extreme situations, the EV can only reach +/- 3 which isn't enough for me. And then the next shot the EV Throws me off cuz I don't need all that compensation but by the 5th scene I had forgotten about the EV setting and then I can't figure out why my shots are exposed wrong.
So for me, I rather just shoot full manual if I'm going for manual. Or just leave it on Aperture priority
If you put it on auto iso you can’t control shutter speed though.
Why?
1 factor iso is auto. So it's not full "M" mode
Any one annoyed by how there is no lens cover and he is holding the camera from the front of the lens, which honestly who does that?
True you don’t want to smudge the lens with fingerprints but I only use the lens cap when storing the lens. I need to be ready when out shooting.
I also don't use lens cover when I'm handling my camera and I might even move around in a crowd without a cover but I never put my palm or skin to get in contact with the lens. The best protection you can have is instead of having a UV filter, keep the lens hood on! That will protect the lens from even drops! You do end up sacrificing the lens hood if the fall is bad enough
Don t use auto iso
Buy my equipment for me, then tell me what to do.
