Learn To Shoot In Manual Mode

[@zorikn]

Love your videos!

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback and I'm happy you enjoy them.

[@markwiemels]

Wow, this is really well explained and produced! What are the telephone lenses you are using? Side note; a video on how to do that kind of bird and wildlife photography, with one of those excellent photos as the thumbnail, could be a winner. I have never been able to achieve good results with birds and wildlife and I don’t know why.

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks! I use the Canon 400mm EF f/5.6 L and the Canon EF-S 55-250 lenses for my birding and wildlife. Birds are tough to get a good shot of when first starting out, but you figure it out once you do it a few times. I did 1 birding video on my channel, but it did not do so well. It was not an instructional video... Just a go out and shoot vlog type. Maybe I'll do another one soon, but explain the "how to photograph" part instead.

@@faspete2nd That would be awesome!

[@faspete2nd]

@@laurajaye9 I'll see what I can do. Having the gear in the studio talking about it is one thing... getting out and shooting a video explaining how to use it is another.

I really love how u explain the lesson.. well presented and easy to understand.. great job sir. Keep up with the good work..

[@faspete2nd]

Thank you, I will

[@jeffsatz4080]

Thanks, would enjoy more.

[@faspete2nd]

Okay. Cool. Good to know.

[@camilocorrea9705]

Thank you Peter!

[@faspete2nd]

You are welcome!

[@bobdecalonne6809]

Thank you for these tutorials. I just bought my M6 Mark2 a few months ago.

[@faspete2nd]

You are welcome. I hope they help. The M6 Mark II is a nice little camera.

[@bobdecalonne6809]

@@faspete2nd Do you have a video over exposure bracketing? At the moment we have snow here in the Netherlands and I heard using bracketing is a handy tip?

[@faspete2nd]

@@bobdecalonne6809 unfortunately I don't. I've never used exposure bracketing in the camera. If I'm not mistaken the HDR mode does the bracketing for you??? Not to sure.

[@bobdecalonne6809]

@@faspete2nd OK thank you. I will check that then.

[@CountryMindful]

Another video that is easy to "follow along" Thanks!

[@faspete2nd]

Good to know that they are easy to follow. It's tough to get a sense of how they will play without the feedback. I appreciate it.

[@CountryMindful]

@@faspete2nd It helps a ton that I'm using an M6mii but I still think your calm and clear style would help someone with any camera. I'm also interested in how you get your wildlife shots. I'm just not quick enough or maybe quiet enough to get them.

[@faspete2nd]

@@CountryMindful I'll see what I can put together. I've have a few R6 vs M6 videos in the works right now, but it's good to know what people are interested in seeing.

[@sdhute]

Good video 👍 A mode is a good starting spot. Spend money on the camera and take time to master it 👍

[@faspete2nd]

Small steps to master the camera without being overwhelmed.

[@ericcsn]

love your videos - they are extremely helpful to people new to the camera setup like me. I have acquired a m6 mkii and do need a step by step guide to understand how to use all the dials and knobs.

[@faspete2nd]

That makes me happy to hear! I'm glad that you find them helpful.

[@jineeshpr]

Well explained video. This motivated me to start using manual mode

[@faspete2nd]

Go for it!

[@ivantotravel8665]

Thanks Peter, I find these videos really helpful since I'm a relatively new M6 user.

[@faspete2nd]

You are welcome! I'm happy you find them useful.

[@B.D.TRX4]

Thank you so much for this video ! I got my m6 mark II less than 2 weeks ago .. and it felt a little overwhelming to me at first , compared to my bridge cameras i am used to using ( Nikon p1000 )

[@faspete2nd]

Glad it helped!

[@RogerAVHansen]

Great walkthrough on the different priorities 😊 I alway shoot in manual so haven’t tried them out actually 😊 I agree with My Camera Bag! Make a video where you explain how you take those crisp photos 😊👍🏼

[@faspete2nd]

I use manual most of the time and shutter priority on occasion depending on light and how active the birds and other wildlife are on the day of shooting.

[@tickleandsqueeze493]

are you in the uk as the carepak plan appears only to be on the usa site

[@faspete2nd]

I am not in the UK. I'm in the US. Interesting that Canon worldwide does not have a care plan for their products. I wonder why they don't.

[@kevykevTPA]

Disappointed with the noise level at ISO 3200, especially on a camera that claims to be "useful" up to ISO 40,000. At first, I wondered if I just got a bad copy, but after seeing this, I guess not.

[@faspete2nd]

It has been my experience with the M6 Mark II or any APS-C sensor. You have to keep the ISO as low as you can.
