As a person in their 70s with slight hand tremors I shoot in shutter priority to get sharp photos. I like to keep it 1/125 or faster. Yup, my ISO/noise can get up there. We do what we have to do.
I have a question, im 20, starting out on photography, I have a 2008 canon xti camera, do you know what I can do to get better shots at night? I only have 1600 ISO, i try my best to never use 1600 because its extremely grainy
@@FierceNinja Grab a lens thats (f1.4) I'd say, if that is- you're trying to shoot with natural light or street lights/neon store signs etc, instead of using a flash. I know that focal length is good for low light. You could go lower but I believe that kind of glass is way more pricey especially with canon since you cant buy 3rd party lenses unfortunately.
I just got my first "real" camera two days ago and this is the first video of the many I've watched in the last couple days that so clearly explained exactly what I was messing with when moving various dials on my camera and what I was actually doing with those changing numbers. Thank you, looking forward to checking out more of these basics videos as I fumble my way through learning to be a hobby photographer (that hopefully still does a good job at it!).
I am a working pro stills photog and being a fan of your videos and style for many years, I listened through it while working,even though I know all this stuff. This was so fun and clear and easy to understand. Cameras are easy to pic up, pics are easy to mess up and this fun style gives anyone a chance to understand and have more control. Awesome video. I get asked all the time to teach but I will send them this video instead.
Great video, Jason! Easy to understand. I like using my Lumix cameras. But my wife's new i phone takes great pictures too. The only advantages I can see with the phone are size and easy operation. I am new to photography, so the bottom line for me is cost of equipment. Is there something else? By the way, My Lumix gh 5 cost only $275. and it works well beyond my abilities.
Great video, Jason. Very instructional and conceptual which works well for me as a seasoned shutterbug. Things to keep top of mind instead or in addition to just dialing through my settings. WHY I am using certain shutter speeds helps me take sharper photos and keep the concept of making the photo interesting as well as just technically sound.!
I have been watching all your videos! Amazing content! Btw, I just bought the a7cii and I was wondering what cable do you use to use your phone as a monitor?
7:08 These reactions work great for trains arriving fast into the train station. 1/4000neill be too fast for arrival, especially int he evening. But 1/2000 is good to 1/3000 is OK if you are fine with noise. In the evening of course I do lowest aperture my lens can do. For some reason Shutter priority on my camera is set to constant aperture of 2.8.
This video and previous are great and valuable information especially as a beginner. Look forward for your next video of ISO. Keep up the good work and continue making great content.
great video. Keep up the good work Jason. Quick question on the accessories regarding the Sony mount holding the external/phone. Can you share what they are as they are not included in your main website.
I made a "Shorts" on it if you wanna find it on my main channel page under the Shorts Tab. The title should be "how I use my phone as a monitor" I would link it but RUclips flags any comments with links 😫
I'm using the XPERIA PRO in the video here and the device has a microHDMI connection! The app is External Monitor which is native to the Sony Xperia phones
Yes! Most recent XPERIA phones with USB-C can be an external monitor for Sony cameras but has a slight delay. The one I'm using is the XPERIA PRO which is unique in that it has a microHDMI connection. Near 0 delay and it's what I use to record my camera screen for my tutorials!
I am using a ZV-E1, I was expecting to go into S-Mode and see the familiar 1/X selection. Instead, I am getting numbers in the bottom left of my screen that seem to adjust by 0.2 as I move the dial. For example, in S-Mode, the numbers are red and go from 48.0 and then up. 48.2 48.3 48.4 48.6 48.7 48.8 49.0 What setting have a accidently changed to not have a normal looking S-Mode while in Photo. In all the other modes the Shutter Speed is displayed as you would expect, 1/60 or 1/40.
Question about ISO, in video using the native 12800 on A7S3 is a lot better than using 8000, does this apply to photos too or no? - also considering 640 and 12800 are native is there a bit difference between 640 and 12800 with a quality ND filter in output photo and video quality?
Hi Jason! In a sunny beach with static scene, what setting do you prefer?: ISO 50 1/2000 shutter, ISO 100 1/4000 or put ND Filter and take lowest ISO with less speed? Are the 3 the same?
Depends what you're capturing! If it's portraits on the beach, you can do the two high shutter settings you've mentioned! I wouldn't recommend ND as it does degrade the image quality slightly! BUT! if you are capturing the water of the beach (like you see in my waterfall photo in this video) use the ND Filter to smooth out the water! Hope this helps!
Yep as long as you have plenty of light, you will need a high shutter to compensate which is perfectly ok and likely result in higher chance for sharp photos.
Brother, tons and tons of love from India. Love you brother, I was struggling for weeks to learn ISO, SHUTTER SPEED, APPETURE & this video was like a master class for me,🙌🙌🙌.
If that has been working for you, then keep at it! Cameras are so good nowadays that the handheld rule can be bend a lot! However, I know some people out there are using older gear so I am suggesting doubling the shutter as a good safety measure!

With how good AI denoising is nowadays, it's not even that big an issue anymore.

Great vid, thank you! I enjoyed the way you explained shutter speed vs the other videos on the same subject. It kept me engaged the entire video.
very happy to hear that, thanks Edward!

Absolutely quality video, very easy to understand. Make sure to put what you learn in practice to solidify it 📈
Great video and very.he;pful for a beginner, thanks. Love how your videos have a great mix of valuable info & humour!

Jason’s educational series is second to none.

This. Is. A. Really. Great. Video.
thanks so much!
I wonder how to set custom modes. I need that for switching from still to fast moving subjects.
What is the rule goes micro 4/3rd? Love your videos
Thank you Vong…quick question, what app do you use to monitor your composition via your phone? Does it work for all cameras? Thank you once again
I'm using the XPERIA PRO in the video here and the device has a microHDMI connection! The app is External Monitor which is native to the Sony Xperia phones
Even so most of most of us will primarily shoot on Aperture Priority. Shutter is most important for me when filming
Great video, thanks for all your knowledge! i subbed so ill continue to watch and learn!
Super dope! thanks for all of this great info!!
this was awesome
Awesome helpful video
I love to see someone actually using the Sony Xperia Phones as an external monitor for the Sony cameras! Is it just connected via USB-C?

I love you vid it helps me alot, also i like when u use the cat as a subject
Hi for long exposure during the day you need a ND filter?)

Next time you come to Switzerland let me know bro 🤙🤙
So the only downside of a high shutter speed is that the ISO could go too high? shouldn't be a problem in outdoor daylight though right?
Yep as long as you have plenty of light, you will need a high shutter to compensate which is perfectly ok and likely result in higher chance for sharp photos.
Nice !
✌
How do you set the shutter speed to be doubled or remain constant on a zoom lens when zooming.
What a dope video.
Brother, tons and tons of love from India. Love you brother, I was struggling for weeks to learn ISO, SHUTTER SPEED, APPETURE & this video was like a master class for me,🙌🙌🙌.
I always assumed Shutter priority was the most used right after Aperture priority. I flip to it often. Especially in lowlight.
Really loving this series. Thank you!
Can u make video for 70-200 2.8gmii vs sigma new70-200 2.8 plz what should I choose
How are you liking the Sony A7cR? Hope you do a full review as I am in two minds whether to go for one and change from my Fuji gear
I LOVE IT! But I don't shoot all 61MP. I dropped it to 26MP. I only shoot 61MP for landscapes/cityscapes.
how are you projecting the view finder onto the mobile ?
Honey, Jason Vong just uploaded a new youtube video.
😅
😂
Thank you.. This video is much more informative.. Keep it up.
you are in my time im learning thanks bro
Great 👍
1:17 when I subscribed. That's what the fk I'm talking about👏🏾👏🏾 Break it down and teach us
Jason Vong is back people!!!
Now we just need that1camera guy back! 🎉
@@SPDTDL true that!
How do you get rid of 'sel.focus point on/off' always popping up on screen on Sony a7Cii ?
can you please do this but for videography?
Is this all used on manual
Loving this series!
Happy to hear that, thanks Lidia!
Wow i didn't know they rule of thumb was doubles for apsc! I always did hand-held at focal length
If that has been working for you, then keep at it! Cameras are so good nowadays that the handheld rule can be bend a lot! However, I know some people out there are using older gear so I am suggesting doubling the shutter as a good safety measure!
How appt! Was exploring slow shutter video shooting with my a6700 trying to achieve the Wkw effect 😅
In the Mood for... Slow Shutter Speed 🤣
Thank u so muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :*
you're welcome!
Now i know! ISO Vong!!
We need a Video of a tutorial for flash photography! ⚡️
Man I haven't shot with flash in so long! I might have to team up with someone!
you are the Man!
11:17 to emphasize the what
wow thanks for those tips and informations
Thanks for sharing this great info
How did you connect your phone to your camera and use it as a monitor
The phone is a bit unique... 😅 It's the XPERIA PRO with a microHDMI connection!
@@JasonVong you able to do a quick little video on how you done it

Hello from Alaska 😂
hello!

If only. Then maybe my parents would be proud that I'm a doctor 🤣
Shutter priority > aperture priority. Fight me.
Brilliant 😂😂
The ibis on the A7R5 makes up for slow shutter speeds 😊.
