[@that_chismosa_nurse]

~ 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

"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!!

[@yashkhd1100]

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.

[@M123OCT]

If I may add one tip that really helped me as a beginner regarding fstop: if you imagine a long line of letter Fs going into the distance, the higher the fstop, the more Fs will be in focus, the lower the fstop, the fewer Fs will be in focus. I hope that helps someone. 👍 Good video, cheers.

I took photography in University. You explained ISO so well, simply, memorably and applicably. You actually made sense of it in one fell swoop 🤗

[@robinwilliams6380]

I’d never heard of it before it and makes no sense whatsoever according to how he explained it

[@welcti]

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.

[@brianherren9222]

Hey man I just wanna say this video is insane. Half a year ago i bought a Camera and only took photos in Auto-mode because I didn't understand this whole manual stuff with ISO, SS and so on. Now I understood all of this and the pictures are dope! Thank you very much.

Me right now feeling a bit confused. But this video helped me understood the 3 main points of photography. I've recently just started getting into photography. Id like to learn more since I want to save up to buy a cheap camera just to take photos of people or portraits as a beginner.

[@nathanielsion3183]

I like to use auto mode just bcs its faster in some case like at safari but if i have plenty of time to shoot i prefer the manual mode or one of the three priority mode.

[@Pidalin]

set it to Av mode, set auto iso and change manualy only aperture, that's the best more for like 90% of all situations, playing with completely manual mode is crazy for begginers

[@jadeSLenin]

@@Pidalin what exactly is AV mode? I have a $300 Nikon, not sure if I even have this setting... ?

[@Pidalin]

@@jadeSLenin I mean aperture priority, which is what most of photographers use most of the time. I don't know how it's marked on Nikon cameras, it's mostly Av or just A. www.oehling.cz/data/imgs/29/0031329l.jpg You just set aperture manualy, so you have control over depth of field and you let other things (shutter speed and ISO) on auto which is ok in most of situations.

[@RicardoEsteves]

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.

[@covrtdesign5279]

The acronym ISO stands for “International Organization for Standardization”. However, camera ISO does not directly refer to the organization that creates various technology and product standards. Ever since two film standards called ASA and DIN were combined into ISO standards in 1974 (later revised for both film and digital photography), they were referred to as one word “ISO” from that point on. Although ISO initially defined only film sensitivity, it was later adopted by digital camera manufacturers with the purpose of maintaining similar brightness levels as film. You can say it either way as well.

[@rrrāmusic963]

Was searching for that comment lol

[@jimlanders]

The International Standards Organizarion change occured in 1983 and was fully adopted in 1984. BTW, I not only remember the change, I still have a roll of film that showed both. That roll of film states 1983/1984 to show the period of time of the change. Now I just need to find it so I can photograph it...

[@certs743]

Pretty much. I mean in application it always was a measurement for light sensitivity either for film or plates or a sensor but the "word" to indicate it has always been the acronym for whatever standard was being used and the organization that devised it. There were a few out there Including GOST if you ever used soviet Cameras. This idea that ISO is a word in isolation seems to be no more than the 2010s and seems to come from the internet and probably people who have never used a film camera older than the 80s.

But if you camera shoots in 25200 iso then i don’t think that’s to high

Well done David. I’m in my 70’s and just wanting to get back into photography again. (Damn those phone cameras!) and your piece is a great way to start. Clear and concise.🇦🇺🇺🇸

I just brought my very first camera and this is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you so much! I have subscribed 😊 you’re a gem!

this video was absolutely fantastic!!! I've been trying to understand my Sony A7ii for a while now and this video made me so unbelievably comfortable with it!! i finally feel like i know what i'm doing!!! thank you sooo much!!! I cannot believe this video doesn't have several million views!!

This video is great! I love photography and have for years! I really want to learn more and get better, but have felt so overwhelmed with it all. This video breaks it down super simple (like teaching a child) and it's exactly what I needed. Notes were taken and I am now playing with my camera and all the settings. Thank you!

[@DavidManningvlog]

I love hearing that Michele! And so stoked that it was helpful!

[@amandak5357]

Hi, I'm Amanda. I just bought my first camera after years of taking pictures with my phone that people thought were taken with a camera. I saved and bought a Sony A7R III. I wanted to thank you for this video because to be honest I'm pretty overwhelmed. There's a lot I need to learn. I have taken a few good shots without doing anything with the settings(because I have no clue). I've been told I have a good eye for composition? Anyway, I'm a counsellor but have a dream to become a professional photographer and make amateur documentaries. Your video was so good for me because it gave me some of the basics in 10. I'm the same as you. With anything new I need it explained to me like I'm a 5 yr old. Thank you so much. Truly. -Amanda

[@DavidManningvlog]

Love hearing that Amanda! If you have any other questions along the way, drop them in the comments on a video and I'll get them answered!

Have to say pal - really enjoying your videos. I’ve never commented on KZbin before but started watching you after I ordered my first GoPro (7 Black) - found your videos super informative and love your footage. I’ve been trying to get into photography for years but never quite got beyond the basics but you have inspired me to give it another push and can’t wait to start playing with my GoPro. Keep up the great work, you’re one of the best I’ve seen on here.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thank you so much Jason, super kind of you! I think you nailed it that you just need to make that push and be consistent about using the GoPro. Obviously, the more you practice, the better you get! With the older DSLR cameras, we used to joke that you weren't a photographer until you've broken a shutter. Mainly, because shutters were rated to about 100,000 releases. So you would need to take 100,000 photos to break one! Hahhaa! Not sure what it is with the GoPro, but I promise you the more you play with it, the better and better you'll get! If you put together any videos, send a link my way, I would love to check them out!

[@NishanSaliya]

I started studying photography very recently and this is one of THE BEST videos I came across for the subject (I should have seen this first before watching lots of others). This is very short video but have the essential basics covered. The SS was awesome. Thank you for the word ISO (eye-so) ... I never knew !!!

[@Malcolm-Reid]

DAVID THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! As a newbie photographer/videographer I have been scouring KZbin for explanations. And this right here...was EXTREMELY clear, thorough, and FUN!!!! I cannot thank you enough!

[@PMS1950]

I've had over 60 years of experience in photography both professional and now as a retired enthusiast and I'm still learning "the basics". There may be certain methods of achieving certain results, which work some of the time, but the most important basic (s) are time, vision and imagination. Sadly, these days it's more about the machinery for making images,together with how it makes you look (in the eyes of friends and colleagues etc) and feel. Defining and explaining photography is nowadays a sort of 'you tube' obsession, it's full of so called experts, claiming to have discovered the perfect formula for perfect images and only by following their reinterpretation of the instruction booklet can you hope to create a decent photo. Time, practice, the exchange of ideas and personal experience are the true basics and can't be taught in a ten minute video.

[@PMS1950]

@@dereknash3638 exactly.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Love it Philip! I think this video is that first 80% that I'm talking about and the time, practice, exchange of ideas, and personal experience is the other 20% that takes you to a level of expertise!

[@dukenukem5768]

You must remember things called books. When someone bought a camera they could buy a book on basic photography, even specific to their camera. Cameras also came with manuals. Exposure, and more, was explained - better than it can be done on KZbin IMHO. You can still buy such books, by Michael Freeman for example. Unfortunately many today think reading is beneath their dignity.

[@PMS1950]

@@dukenukem5768 I recall Michael Freeman's books. Clear and well written. 'You tube' does have a few genuine, experienced photographers that give informed guidance and advice. A visit to Fox Talbot's home, Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, is a fascinating place and puts the whole history and aesthetics of photography into perspective. A case of going back in order to move forward, perhaps!?

[@namecannotbeblank3070]

That seemed so simple. Once someone gifted me a DSLR but I never used it since I was afraid of all the exposure, aperture, focus and all things written on the lens. But now after watching this video I'll try out my camera for sure. Thank you David❤
