Remember to turn on any highlight tone alert (blinkies or zebras). Another useful one is manual focus peaking, if equipped.

What you want your second memory card to do. A backup of the raw files in case the primary card fails, a jpeg version for quick uploaded to social media, or backup space in case you fill the primary card.

[@metalmick99]

While you haven't mentioned Olympus/OMS, one thing that flabbergasted me (when I first got the camera) was that the button with the little red dot on it was set to something other than "record movie" as a factory default. It is now set to "record movie." This is not just an OM-1 setting but dates back to several previous models, I believe.

[@StevanNetto-qg7gx]

Love how Simon is neutral amongst camera manufacturers and how he shows how the settings are on different brands!

Except for Panasonic! Maybe now that they have PDAF Simon will include them along with the “real” camera companies:)

Helpful, humble, and doesn’t spend a bunch of time on fluff, which is great.

I came on Simon rather later about 3-4 months ago, I find his advice simple to follow, practical, and easy to employ. Simon is an excellent communicator concise and clear in what he says and how he says it. Watching and listening to Simon is easy and something to look forward to. ( His intro music is very catchy, what song is this? )

I have a great story RE diopter adjustment. I owned a nature tour charter boat company for many years and took out many people primarily interested in nature and wildlife photography. One day a client complained to me that her expensive Canon 5D MkII was a disappointment to her because the images always looked out of focus. I immediately suspect the diopter focus was the problem and asked her to hand me the camera. Sure enough when I looked through the viewfinder everything was blurred. a check of the diopter setting revealed it was way out of adjustment so I set it to my vision and handed it back to the woman. Wow! she exclaimed! You fixed it! I explained to her what the adjustment was for and added that it was important to set it for your particular vision and on we went with our 3 hr boat trip. I did notice that she kept fooling with the diopter setting throughout the trip but just figured that, like me, she was a perfectionist and was obsessed with getting it set perfectly. Only a few days later did it finally occur to me that the poor woman apparently thought that the diopter needed to be reset for every photo! The lesson in all this is "Read the camera manual from cover to cover, or stick to simple auto cameras that don't require much in the way of settings!

[@simon_dentremont]

[@sirg-had8821]

First thing I did

[@lphilpot01]

A minor addendum to setting #8 (diopter adjustment) - When focusing the diopter, use the viewfinder markings (reticle, guides, etc.) as a reference to verify focus. Using the image may be inaccurate if the lens isn't focused exactly right. Once the guidelines are correct and the lens is in focus, both will be visually sharp. Great video.

[@WanderingSwitchback]

I have a new camera coming, and this is perfect! Thank you Simon! I know the 100K isn't new, but congratulations, and it's no surprise that your channel has blown up like it has. You're great at explaining things and getting to the point. I'm learning a ton from you, and I really appreciate it!

Have fun!

[@-esseff-]

When your first video came out I remember thinking, "This guy gets straight to the point. I hope he makes more." And here you are, over 100K subscribers later. Congrats, Simon. By far the best channel on KZbin. You videos have helped me so much.

what i really love about your videos is that you often give the different names for settings on different camera brands.

[@ianross04]

Ive been an avid amateur photographer for many years now. Somehow KZbins clever algorithms put Simons vids into my mainstream. Ive watched a few of his videos over the last few days but this is absolutely brilliant and spoken in basic English even for me to understand! Thank you Simon

[@5argetech56]

I like you. Your approach to the subject of photography is very clear and easy to digest. I have been taking photos for a long time before the digital age. What I like about Bridge and DSLR's cameras is that you save money, lots of money. Your computer becomes your darkroom. Photos that are bad can be learned from then deleted. I still remember the cost of having your shots developed, then returned to you to see all the mistakes you'd made in camera settings, wasted photos and money. Not so today. New subscriber!

[@simon_dentremont]

Thanks for the sub!

[@jackstutts6439]

Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers Simone. I started following you after your appearance on Gavin Hardcastles channel. Yours is one of the few channels I have notifications turned on. Always informative with lots of good tips and suggestions for improving my bird photography and some beautiful images too.

[@simon_dentremont]

Thank you so much!! More chocolate for Gavin….lol

[@MJCreative-Bleu96]

I am learning all the beginner's tools for taking photos and quite honestly your examples and demonstrations of the use of the camera's settings are very easy to understand. Your photos are brilliant, colorful and very well crafted. So far my style has been landscapes, nature (especially flowers with bugs or different textures). Thank you for teaching; I'm listening and learning! Congrats for your 100+ KZbin award-- well deserved!

[@mne9476]

Simon, I subscribe to many channels, but yours is one of the most helpful. You fit more valuable tips and suggestions in 11 minutes than some others spend 20 minutes or more. They spend too much time telling stories, which I find interesting but don’t have the time to listen to, unless I am trying to fall asleep of course.

I was your first subscriber and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :) Honestly I think I have been with you from the beginning and so glad I am. I have worked very hard to practice what you preach and just this weekend I was looking at my old "good" photos from a year ago and was shocked on how far I have come. I am not bragging at all, quite the opposite. I could not have come this far without your videos. I am truly grateful.

Congrats on the award, and thanks for the great videos. It's nice to learn from someone who doesn't talk down to viewers, over their heads, or hold back "the good stuff." Glad I found you.

[@simon_dentremont]

I appreciate that!

[@dangilmore9724]

Another good setting to apply (if your camera requires it) is 'release shutter without lens,' or 'shoot without lens' something similar. This is what you need to apply if you shoot vintage or full manual lenses. On most Canon DSLR full frames, this setting is not an option because it will automatically default to "shoot without lens." I shoot with a lot of 60+ year old DKL mount lenses when I "zone focus".

[@michgreeno1]

I have that set on mine so I can use it with my telescope.

[@andrewkeir2282]

I have been following Simon since his very early videos, I used one of his videos in my little camera group to introduce them to wildlife photography. He can explain things much better and with more authority than me.

This video is a must for anyone who is starting out with a digital camera. Absolute beginners might want to hit pause and take notes. You shouldn't simply rely on presumably "ignorable" [I'm talking to you, B&H.] default settings or, at minimum, fail to have an understanding of their works and ways. The master teacher gives you a running start here.

[@JEmmertz]

Congratulations, Simon, to the silver plaque! Well deserved. Those settings are pretty much the same that I tend to find quickly and change to my likings. First and foremost: BBF. I'd be lost without it. I might need to add a custom set up with it off though, since I don't get the expected result when attaching the Timer Remote Controller - more testing needed, and maybe even more reading of manuals. Current body is the first I have with GPS, so I have tried having that turned on a few times, but I find that it sucks the juice out of the batteries more than anything. On the same theme I have set the camera's Image Review to Off.

[@christopherreynolds1564]

I am constantly blown away by Simon's quality. I have recommended this KZbin to my department for training. His content is amazing quality!

[@simon_dentremont]

So kind!

[@SuperHackingtime]

I would add that JPEGs are better if you need to print quickly. There are wedding on which you want to sell photos, and there will be a lot of photos. Culling and editing them in RAW would be much slower then just working JPEG. That being said, my go to option is shoot JPEG on one card and RAW on the other. Both have their strenghts, but a lot of YT and IG photographers forget to tell that there is a weakness to RAW, and that is slow workflow

[@IAMLiving4Jesus777]

Why not shoot in both RAW&JPG? That way when you're looking at the pictures afterwards in Photoshop or whatever Photo editing software you use, if a picture needs some editing you can use the RAW file and the ones that don't keep JPG, however the reason I recommend shooting in the setting where it saves the images in both is for that reason plus if your client wants something fixed you still have the RAW file version of that photo

[@NatalBeatle20]

@@IAMLiving4Jesus777 He just said he shoots in JPEG and Raw

[@IAMLiving4Jesus777]

@NatalBeatle20 yea and if I remember correctly I said it's probably easier to shoot in both JPEG & RAW in the event that a photo needs to be edited

[@heatsuckmy]

you also have to convert a RAW file to JPEG to send it to most people lol

[@ljw5768]

RAW file processing software is set up for doing fast batch processing. You process one file and synchronise all the others. You can also set up processing recipes. You’re also making your own decisions, not relying on a processing algorithm developed in a Japanese laboratory. Outputting to JPEG is also speedy. You can do hundreds of files in a few clicks.

Great video of some really important things to check when you get a new camera. I always forget to change my date and time with DST (still seems to not do it automatically!). One thing I (as a sports/action photographer) always immediately do it shut off any steady shot/optical stabilization. I'm shooting at such high shutter speeds 99% of the time that I don't need it.

I have leaned SO much from your videos and I keep watching for my notification every week, because I love how you just get straight to the point, explaining the subject/settings clearly and succinctly.

[@NPJensen]

Congratulations on 100,000+ subscribers, that's good work and well deserved! One thing, I have on my list is updating/ changing the name of the camera owner/photographer, before I start using a new camera. It's a setting many cameras have, and the information will be part the meta data of each photo shot with the camera, so it's always a good idea to make sure that information is accurate. Especially, if the new camera is a second hand camera, I prefer to have my name in the meta data of my photos rather than the name of a previous owner.

[@rosstucker3669]

For focusing I find Back Button Auto-Focus to be significantly better than the preset method which uses the shutter button pressed half way. It offers the best of AF and AF-C depending upon whether the BBAF button is depressed or not. Simon has a separate video describing how to set it up. I highly recommend BBF/BBAF, it's the first thing I set up now on my cameras.

[@ericdawson3222]

Done that. Also. your phone will change time automatically if it's connected to the cell network. Make sure the camera is set to the same time if you're taking pictures with both. Sometimes, you need to set the time to the second to give best sync results.

@@terencedwyer8903 I just found out the canon app has an option to set the cameras time to sync to the phone. I’ve been struggling for years to sync my 2 or 3 cameras and phone in the past. You really need it down to the millisecond for certain scenarios.

My extra tip. Shooting in RAW. When review the shoot in camera and you decide the best photos, then you can modify the raw in camera to produce JPG file. I use this technique with my Olympus, Lumix and Fuji. If I have more time I send the raw files to the smartphone where I use Lr mobile. JPG directly in camera is not the best choice for storage and final results.

[@funkydmcdance3355]

Congratulations on the 100k plaque!! I think I saw your second video and by the fourth I was subscribed. It was something like that. From the first video I watched I saw how much information you gave and the quality of your videos. That is when I was like this is a channel where I can learn! Thank you for the great videos and information and may you have much success in all you do!!!

One of my issues is I’m always shooting a variety of subjects. I can start out shooting graves in a cemetery, but then an animal appears, and I want to capture it as well. Or I’m in a city focusing on architecture, but then I come across a person with a lot of character that I want to capture for my people of the city collection. The subject, and thus the type of photography, is fluid.
