I am a landscape photographer so I normally use Apature Priority mode. For birds in flight I use Manuel with auto ISO. Another consideration is how sharp the lens is my old Tamron 75-300 does not get sharp until F-11. I use expanded center focus point for focus continuous focus for birds in flight I use shutter speed 2000 at F-8 if dark F-5.6 and drop my shutter speed to 500 or lower. I should upgrade my zoom with a new faster longer zoom or fixed prime lens

Manual mode and spot metering work very well for everything I shoot... Wildlife, Architecture and Landscapes. Evaluative metering is good for a percentage of everyday personal shooting, but there are limitations. In aperture value mode, you choose the Fstop and the camera automatically selects the shutter speed. Exposure compensation adjustments are made with the command dial on the back of Canon cameras to make the image lighter or darker than suggested by the camera. On the other hand an overcast day with flat lighting evaluative metering works fine, sometimes with little to no compensation required. This is a very reliable and efficient mode in many cases, but when your subjects are moving around or there is a lot of tonal values, significant exposure errors can occur. Incorrect exposures in AUTO modes occur when your subject moves in front of backgrounds of varying lightness or darkness. The camera will vary the exposure depending on the background, and this can lead to exposures way off the mark. For example, using evaluative metering, a bird on the ground may be exposed perfectly in its surroundings, however, when that same bird suddenly flies into the sky, it may be rendered nearly a silhouette, because the bright sky fools the metering system into underexposure. We must be a bit smarter in these situations. Even zooming your lens can change the exposure, even when the light is not changing. By using exposure lock * hold when using any automatic camera modes or shooting manually and spot metering is two useful camera settings to control your exposure. Lets say you have a dark bison standing in a grassy meadow and you have a zoom lens on your camera. At the wider setting the dark toned bison is a relatively small percentage of the scene and evaluative metering may be right on, however if you zoom way in on just the bison, now the camera is seeing a completely different scene, and metering very differently. Now the bison is big in the frame, the meter reads a lot of dark tones from the bison, and gets fooled into overexposing the bison. The light did not change as I zoomed, but the in camera meter read the exposure differently as the zoom added or subtracted tonal values. To avoid these potential pitfalls, use manual mode in conjunction with the in camera spot meter. In manual mode you must set the aperture and the desired shutter speed for correct exposure at your chosen i.s.o.. The great benefit is that once exposure is set correctly using your RGB histogram, it can’t move until you tell the camera to do so. It’s so simple, but the benefits are huge.

Forster, thank you very much for your detailed response, it is very helpful for those starting out. Live exposure simulation in EVF has made it a lot easier also to ensure you have accurate exposure, it is hard going back to a OVF once you are used to an EVF. Cheers, Duade

@@Duade Digital photography has changed the coarse for today's photographers. I first started out fresh out of high school photographing rock venues for sunshine promotions and met many a rock band. From there into commercial and architecture.that was 1977 into the 80s. My first camera was manual only with no built in metering system. Until 1980 I bough my first handheld incident meter and medium format 6 x7. And a Canon 35mm AT-1 again a total manual except it had a built in meter. Decades of shooting anything that moved me, has giving me practice and insight and now with digital it's great to be alive and thank God I'm still enjoying photography.

Great video! I often use manual + Auto ISO if light is changing and action is quick. I was at a birds in flight workshop and the instructor insisted that this method was flawed! He implied that aperture priority was fine, but why in the world would anyone use Auto ISO. I started to explain my rationale, but realized I was the only girl in a group of birding boys, so I kept my mouth shut and got some wonderful shots!! LOL. To me, if you are going to use semi-auto mode, then manual/Auto ISO is the ONLY way to go!!!

Hello there, did the instructor care to explain why he thought it was flawed ? I'm personally and adept of ISO auto mode, however I do encounter issues using it. The ISO sometimes swings within a high range(200 to 900) whilst neither the subject, lighting or framing changed much(averaging, manual or A mode selected) This could be the flaw that person was referring to ? To date I only read one professional photographer mentioning that drawback. Unfortunately he didn't develop on it. It is so bad on my Nikon Z50 that I sent it in for repair already twice. Both times the manufacturer claimed having checked the light metering system and that it is working correctly. This always happens during a sequence of shots. The Z50 being and entry level camera I could conceive that the reactivity of the system could be limited in rapidly changing light conditions but it is not the case. Also I suspect that some cameras ponder, to some extend, the focus point in the exposure calculation. I never saw technical explanations on that either. Did you ever notice this phenomenon in your photography ? Sorry for the lengthy comment. Regards.
@michaelmorris1865 Жыл бұрын
For wildlife I use manual + auto ISO limited to the level before the noise gets to be too much to be recovered safely in lightroom, then reduce my shutter speed if I hit that, use spot or matrix metering depending on conditions. For landscape it's way less shutter speed dependent save for our heavy wind but I'll typically use ISO 100-250 and use a tripod if it gets too slow center weighted metering. I shoot northern lights regularly so I'll set my aperture to f/2-2.8, ISO to 300-600, focus on a distant object and tape my focus ring down, start with an 8" exposure and go progressively faster usually end up shooting 1.4"-3" exposures depending on how fast they're dancing center weighted. Always use auto white balance unless I'm shooting RAW+JPEG, for events and the like I'll set custom with a gray card with raws I just set white balance in post.

I just learned the hard way that the max shudder speed even with ISO up to 6400 requires basically perfect light or you get a dark mess. Shooting Hummingbirds at the feeders hanging from the trees is what landed me here. What I’ve figured out is that for the frozen wing shots it’s not ever going to work without moving the feeders out into the sun. When I would go back to my normal settings all my pictures were sharp under the trees but the wings are just a blur. I had given up the other afternoon and shot in full A, the flash kept popping up which confused me a lot since A uses a slow shutter and high ISO. It finally dawned on me that even though the light looks really great to me but even midday in August it’s too little for the camera or lens in the shade. T7 with the Sigma 150-600

I love your videos. I am a commercial photographer and in studio more often than not. I started shooting wildlife and birds just last year . It is so vastly different than what I do in the studio I felt like I had to learn my camera all over again. While I have had some good results, I still have a ways to go but your videos are helping. I understand all that you are talking about, but putting it into action when I do not have control over the light and the subject positioning has been interesting and so much fun. In the studio I use only manual mode, and I would NEVER use auto ISO, but some photographer friends of mine suggested that I do that in the field. The results were awful. The noise in the photos was just too much. As I just watch this video I am going to go out this weekend and try again with the auto ISO using some of the techniques that you explained in the video. Can’t wait to try it out, thank you again!

Caroline, that is fantastic you are getting into wildlife photography, I can sense your enthusiasm in your comment which is great. Yes light, pose and composition are a real challenge at times. I do find exposure is a little easier with mirrorless as your viewfinder tells you straight away if you are under or overexposed. Knowing what SS you can use can be a challenge to getting the best exposure and noise. Generally I try keep my SS above 1/400th if I can, if I'm shooting action like waterbirds then 1/1000th and BIF 1/2000th. Of course there are exceptions in dark forests etc. Good luck, Cheers, Duade

Great video Duade. I started with manual mode and persevered, it took a while to get on top of it and now I’m pleased I hung on. One advantage of using full manual is that you really get to know your camera and it’s capabilities under all conditions and pushes you to ‘read’ a potential image. It is a mode that gives you greater flexibility. I occasionally use auto ISO if lighting conditions are stable (eg at the beach) but I’ve over/underexposed too many otherwise good shots to rely on it. Keep them coming I always pick up tips or they help to remind and reinforce technique

Duade, thanks for your video. I'm a fan already after just watching two. Your explanations are straight forward, well thought out, concise and manage to side step some deeper issues that would be better served in another video (i.e. increasing ISO does not increase the sensors ability to capture light). Bravo. I have been shooting less than 3 years, but I understand start to finish. My most used setting with wildlife/birds are manual mode and auto ISO. I forced myself to start when I picked up the camera with manual mode so I'm comfortable there now. AUTO-ISO was something that I evolved to and get scolded for by other "pros". I understand the limits and benefits of all auto-modes and at the current time that's where I feel comfortable. I completely understand those that want to use the other auto-modes as well. What ever works and makes the job easier. I also find evaluative metering the most useful for wildlife under most conditions. So here's a suggestion for a future video and it's a bit deep for a beginner video. "Best Exposure for wildlife" The benefits of ETTR vs. ETTL vs Forget the histogram altogether. It might be helpful because of your easy to understand descriptions to outline why people suggest or use those different techniques - ETTR/ETTL and why other professionals never look at a histogram. The former (ETTR) argue to saturate the sensor so you have the most data to ultimately manipulate the data. The latter argue that photography is an art and expose the way you see the photograph, and don't worry what the histogram is telling you. These are different pros arguing about the right approach, and ultimately it's up to the photographer to decide what works best for them. That said, I thought you might just explain the advantage and disadvantage to each and what you use. I think exposing for the way you see the photo is easier with mirrorless, in a studio, and tethered or with relatively static subjects, but I'm so new I'm always open to learning from others. Your thoughts?
@Duade4 жыл бұрын
G'day, thanks again for your insightful comments, yes exposure can be a tricky subject. I think AutoISO is the bet auto feature as SS and Aperture are pretty important to control. I also think newer cameras led by Sony sensors handle slighty underexposed images far better than my older Canon's. It would make for an interesting test to use different modes and see if there is any real world differences. At the end of the day like you say, however the photographer shoots is the right way for them. Cheers, Duade 👍

I shoot mainly BIF and use manual. Set the shutter speed for the speed of the bird, meter off the grass (evaluative metering) and then dial in aperture and ISO. I Almost always deliberately “underexpose” by at least 2/3 of a stop to avoid any risk of burning out highlights; because it gives more scope to dial in my desired settings (e.g. to bump up SS, decrease aperture for a little more DoF, or reduce ISO) and because IMO it often gives more atmospheric shots.

I found that shooting all manual, ISO included, is MUCH simpler, though definitely takes more practice. Understanding when to use exposure compensation is way more abstract than learning to set ISO. For me, fully manual is a much simpler approach, once you’ve taken the time to get comfortable with choosing the ISO. Just relaying my experience, of course. Until I started shooting with manual ISO, the concept of exposure triangle wasn’t sinking through my thick skull, as the camera was constantly counteracting my changes, and just not letting me appreciate what now seems horribly obvious.

My lens is not so fast, the max aperture at 600mm is f8 so I found not so convenient to use aperture priority, because at the shutter speed normally used for birds you have to use almost every time the max aperture. So after many attempts, for moving birds, I normally use shutter priority with auto iso

G’day Duade. Another really good video from you 👍 I’m a Nikon user & have evolved on to shooting in manual mode + auto ISO (set within a range I feel happy using on each of my camera bodies). I use matrix (evaluative?) metering. As you suggest, I have found this set up allows the camera to make a pretty good exposure in changing lighting conditions. However, it was really useful to see you often dial in +/- exposure compensation to override the cameras exposure calculations to make the image be exposed to be right. This is something I plan to experiment with a bit more. I’ve found increasing exposure and/or lifting shadows in post is a recipe for more noise. PS you get so many beautiful colourful birds over there in Oz compared to here in the UK. And their names are equally flamboyant. Love that Splendid fairy-wren! Stunning. Thanks for making this video & am looking forward to seeing your next on putting these settings into practice in the field. Cheers. Ade.
@Duade4 жыл бұрын
G'day Ade, yes I love the names, especially Fairy Wrens, we have Splendid, Superb and Lovely to name a few. Yes you are correct re noise if the image is underexposed. Each camera system is different so be guided by the histogram. On Canon if the bird wasn't white I would often have + 2/3rds EC and with white birds sometimes -2/3rds. Just have a play around and see how it works. Just he careful not to leave it set to + EC when you photograph a white bird. 👍 Cheers, Duade 👍

This weekend I tried shutter speed priority on birds, because I wanted to push the shutter speed above 1/2000. I noticed the camera always chose the largest aperature, around f/5.6, so that wasn't ideal to get the complete bird and branch in focus. Then I tried aperature priority at f/8. The camera chose to always set my ISO at 100 and the shutterspeed was ridiculously low. So than I went manual with auto ISO, set f/8 and shutterspeed between 1/1250 - 1/4000. This was my ideal setting on a sunny day. I wouldn't dare to do the ISO manually though, mistakes were already made that way. This video wasn't much new for me, but helpful anyhow. A good sign I'm finally getting my shit together behind the camera ;) also thanks to your previous videos.

With Auto-ISO, as you are still depending on the camera's light meter software, you could set your camera to "expose for the highlights" (if available on yours). This prevents averaging with blown highlights. Helps to get better skies and white feathers. However, if only a couple photosites in the camera's sensor register peak amounts of light then that may drive exposure. Now your shots may look underexposed in Lightroom or C1. The way to deal with that, is to lower the white point in the tone curve (grab the top point of the curve and slide horizontally, keeping the function line straight, to the left to the point where information starts that is important to you.) You could also raise the black point in this graph on the opposite side of the function line. This remaps the raw data to the 0..255 values scale and you photo looks bright. From here corrections in the normal sliders work better. Note you have lost (a couple f-stops potentially of) dynamic range taking the extreme highlights into account. Depending on your camera's dynamic range and the quality of its noise (in shadows and blacks), this may prove a no-go for you. Or, just try it out.

Thanks for the vid 👍 I would add that it helps to learn what the max iso is that you're happy with given the noise it produces. With one of my bodies and the noise reduction the editor can do, it's 2200, while with another it's 6400. Then just to make it more complicated there's the dynamic range the sensor can cope with and the implications of that for exposure. Have you noticed how many Aussie birds are black and white or near it, lol. And of course with mirrorless cameras you can expect to have the option of blinkies in the VF before you take the shot.

G'day Ern, yes the camera body will dictate the max ISO for sure. On my old 7D I rarely went past 800 but will go to 6400 on my 5D4 if I have to. I'm sure the new cameras will be even better. Oh and yes we have a lot of pied birds. Cheers, Duade 👍

After 10 yrs of using auto ISO and dialing in shutter I'm trying to switch to manual. Think I just need practice. The problem I'm having is I'm mainly shooting bush birds, then a Heron or Eagle flies over head and I can't switch fast enough. Auto ISO I would have gotten the shot but something would be off in the auto exposure. I could use compensation, but then I'm back to I can't change it fast enough. Going from large mammals to birds is just all around hard, but I recently moved to New Mexico and there's way more opportunity for birds and way less for large mammals where I'm currently living.

G'day, there is nothing wrong with using autoiso, if you are comfortable with that then that is likely the best mode for you. Just be aware of those conditions where the camera may get it wrong, bright sky, snow, bright bird dark background and use exposure compensation. Manual is much easier on mirrorless bodies then DSLRs also as we have a live exposure in the viewfinder. Cheers, Duade 👍

Love your videos they are really well done. Im kinda new to all this and just started to pick this hobby up again.- On my Canon 90D paired with a Sigma 150-600C, Auto ISO is often way to bright because it favors a very high ISO very fast. I started with the auto white balance and set it on a mode for the scene (sunny, overcast, shadows etc) instead of leaving it on auto. That helped a lot. But taking my time and reading the camera reading information / histograms helped me finetune that even more. I like the manual mode the most although it can be very overwhelming. Although many of my images are still rubbish it helps me to understand what is happening and what the results are when I change settings myself. The good pictures will come later. First I need to learn the basics with this body I guess. Adapting settings on the fly when scenes changing out there (or in my case, birds flying away) it is very important for me to learn this. Your videos do help a lot 👏

I have not tried the FV mode personally but is appears to be as close to manual mode as you can get. Any auto exposure mode such as FV relies on the cameras metering system to get the best exposure and it can often get it wrong. That is why I shoot in manual so I can have full control over the exposure. It can be difficult at first but it is much easier on a mirrorless camera as the exposure is reflected in the viewfinder.

Hi Duade, great video as always. For the sake of completeness i just want to mention that the newer Cameras from about 2010 (at least the Canons) can also do auto ISO in aperture or shutter priority modes, which could be even easier for beginners... That's how i started with my 500D (model from late 2009) and later the 80D. Thanks for the hint that the spot meter can follow the focus point, i wasn't aware of that. I'll dig in the manual tomorrow to find how to enable it... This can even be useful in manual, as it allows to get a meter reading of the subject... Cheers, Denis

@mortenthorpe4 жыл бұрын
What mode to choose really depends on 2 things... what do you want to achieve in your photo, and how capable is your lens of capturing light (the maximum aperture ). If you have a 200 mm f2 lens, for instance, then you’d in most outdoor conditions during the day, be able to use aperture priority with no issue, because the shutter speed should be quite high. For shooting absolutely tack sharp birds in flight, or the like, there’s no way around using either shutter priority with a high speed ( < 1/1600 second ), or using manual mode with auto iso - which is how I shoot - I almost always shoot birds I wanna flight, at 1/2000 second f5.6, and auto iso
