I understand what Tv and Av modes do, but what are the letters supposed to actually mean (or be short for)? And the easiest way for me to remember aperture is 0 = Open and anything higher is going towards closed

For the beginners... You are not completely stuck with a bad jpg picture. You can edit jpg as well - you just don't have as much control as you would have with RAW.

[@dance2jam]

Mark, really love your photographic examples. Great stuff. I'm sure people starting out will find the video super helpful. I realize I'm 2 years late to this party, but have to mention a few things. 1. Discussing AV mode in Canon cameras, you mentioned the graininess as sensor noise. I know you're aware that in most modern cameras, sensor noise is negligible except if you are shooting for long times in extremely hot climate at very high ISOs (leading to electron migration, amp glow, etc.). The primary source of noise in nearly all photos is shot/random photon noise, which when amplified at higher ISOs is more visible. 2. The appearance of a shallow DOF is possible with zoom/kit lenses especially at higher focal lengths and lowest apertures if there is a short relative distance to subject, and great distance to background. 3. Loved your excellent live example of changing aperture. I think your use of the term "blow out the background" was really meant to imply separation, not clipping. 4. In my experience, editing JPG 8-bit files is not nearly as bad as one would think. I've been able to push files from the Nikon Z9 that were JPG a great deal, albeit, shooting in raw gives the higher bit-depth and tonality so that blocking/banding are less likely with manipulation including sharping. 5. EC - You suggested in the video to use either Tv or Av mode (one of these automatic modes) and then also suggested using another automatic mode (Auto-ISO). I get it, but now there is an issue when using exposure compensation (i.e. EC). Telling your camera you're not happy with the metering (too dark or light) means you've given your camera the opportunity to change one of two values or both (i.e. SS/AP/ISO). Just saying, this could be confusing for beginners. 6. Compression - optical illusion that doesn't really exist for set focal length - yes, I know - but you can achieve the same look (of "compression") by standing close with a 24mm lens or standing back with the 200mm lens and keeping the FOV the same. Of course, the effect on the subject may change a bit. As you know, you can take a photo with a wide angle, and one with a zoom, and then crop in on the wide angle shot, and see the same compression (so it's not a feature of the lens, but more relative perspective). Really nice job covering all of this in the video. Again, loved your shots.

[@davidfarr3591]

[@Seoulhawk01]

The best example of compression I have ever seen was from a photo class I took back in the early 1980s. It was of a country gravel road intersection with a stop sign and in the distance was a white barn. They shot six different pictures keeping the f stop high so the barn would stay in focus. Wide angle it looked small and way off, at 300mm it was right next to the stop sign.

[@Woojo01]

Excellent presentation. I especially liked the portion about compression. Your illustration really helped me to better understand it. 😀

[@tonykeltsflorida]

I like FV mode on my M6 mark II. My old SL2 was when I had to decide TV or AV. I always shoot RAW + Large JPG and I have a custom picture style.

This is 2 yrs ago but i'm glad i'm able to stumble upod this. Very helpful specially the compression, I noticed it while taking portraits but didn't really put much attention to it. Now it all makes sense.

[@ademosthenes4911]

for a beginner photographer and unless you are just experimenting with your new camera, nothing beat auto mode, it works great and honestly, let's say you going to take pictures of your kids in a sporting event, changing the aperture and see what works at least to me is not a good idea, getting to know your camera is great, being able to use it properly even better, experimenting will teach you what works best for you, but to me there is a place and time to do so, and lets be honest, most people that are beginning photography use it only when they need it, not to experiment.

[@QuietLycoris]

TV / S mode is definitely a super underrated tip!!

[@memathews]

This is a solid primer for beginning camera users on how to use camera settings. I really like your explanation of "compression" and how to use this in composition. But in the future, please change how to express the aperture settings: aperture settings are in fractions the same as shutter speeds are in fractions. Knowing these are fractions aligns the "smaller" aperture numbers with more "defocused" backgrounds (blurry, bokeh, circles of confusion, etc.), because the background blur is big as a fraction of the sharp image area. Conversely, the "bigger" aperture numbers show a smaller amount of blur as a fraction of the sharp image area. Preserving aperture and shutter speeds as fractions maintains their relationship to exposure, and the relationship with ISO.

[@S.cgb_2017]

[@erics607]

Thank you for this video!!! I am a newer to the photography scene, and I have been struggling with a lot of the stuff you talked about. I started out with my aperture as low as I could possible go, and was confused as to why certain photos looked good and others didn't look so good. I didn't realize that around F8 is where you want it if you wanted everything in focus. I also tried doing some super close up pictures at the widest focal length, and then zooming in to get the same picture and they look completely different. I have tried recreating some really nice looking pictures I have seen online where there's something off in the distance that I want to highlight in a picture, and I could never figure out how other photographers got it to look like it's naturally closer than it is. After watching this video so much stuff makes sense now.

I asked one of my best friends who is also a photographer to recommend me a camera and he said canon m50. I just watched your video about cameras for every budged to see if it's in there and then I also watched this video. I have been watching tutorial videos for a while now and most of them keep repeating the same stuff. However, this is the first video which I feel like it offered me some true insight; like I actually understand some new concepts. So thank you for that! I do hope that you will see this comment :)) Also, if I ever decide to upgrade from the m50 I think I will go for the fujifilm xt3. I love the looks, the feeling and just how manual it is.

[@markwiemels]

[@KS1771]

Thanks a Million Mark !!! Super Cool Class !!! All the Terminologies and Jargon decoded for a Beginner !!!! Only confusion as a Beginner is Which Brand Camera and which Lens to go for :-)

[@Kelkschiz]

Tv (time value) is specifically a Canon term. Most other brands use S to indicate the shutter priority mode. Beginners who are not using a Canon may be a little puzzled by your explanation. The same applies to Av. I wish Canon would just adopt the naming scheme that is standard in the industry. The subject is already complicated enough for beginners. Although it is a very complex subject for a beginning photographer, it is never too early to start thinking about light and lighting; what effect it has, and how you can use it in your photos. Had to think about lighting when you showed the effect different focal lengths can have on how a face looks. In that segment, the most obvious reason that the 15mm doesn't look flattering is the horrible lighting, not the focal length. Light and lighting is still the aspect of photography I find most challenging, but also a lot of fun. And when I look back at my older work, I can see I made a lot of beginner mistakes regarding lighting. Great beginner's guide!

Absolutely the best basic tutorial! Mark. I started with photography in the late 1960s before I knew anything about how the interaction of exposure/aperture/ISO (ASA then) affected images. I've taken classes (on-line and collage level) and have built upon that education over the years and practiced A LOT. Yes, my photography has improved but lately I've found myself uninspired mainly because photography has become formulaic. I shoot AV 90% of the time because it's how "I've always done it". After watching this video I'm inspired again. Trying the Canon Picture Styles wasn't even on my radar before but it is now...shoot Tv...start looking for opportunities....Zoom lens compression techniques...ditto. I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed them immensely. One thing I'd like to see you do though, introduce the lens you're reviewing at the beginning. A few times I'll watch and wonder "....manufacturer?...model?". Now I have to subscribe so I don't miss your future reviews/tips. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos.

[@NotaBOTopie]

As a beginner photographer going on 10 years of photography I gotta say the biggest leap in getting the images I saw in my head was when I started shooting RAW and seriously learning post processing. Yes, composition is still key and it will come with time but learning PP as you go imo speeds up that process, sort of learning the entirety instead of learning how to take photos first.

[@manuelcantu8572]

[@paulradford4100]

One thing you missed out on (or maybe I zoned out for a second) was lens aperture extremes.. generally I find that lenses don't like max/min aperture. The better photo I find us usually 1-2 stops above minimum or below maximum. For example, I use a prime 50mm f1.8. I find I get a better picture at f/2.4. With the zoom for landscapes I often use a 70-300mm - instead of f22, I usually go no further than f18 Rather than tv or av mode don't be afraid to go full manual and learn how Shutter, aperture and iso (exposure triangle) work together - it will help in other modes. Obviously if I'm taking a guy/gal heading the ball tv mode is great or if I'm taking a picture of someone (portraits) I may go av (remember to focus on the eye). With that said manual can't be beaten if you want control. Iso should generally be as low as possible for clarity, but that's not always possible. As for ev compensation, I'm really lazy and can't be bothered to learn where it is on a camera. In a bright situation I'll adjust settings so the meter is under the 0 and in dark situations over the 0. How bright or dark is how far I will go, but not by much. I can then capture details that may otherwise be lost and adjust things in post to make it "pop" With all that said. The 1st thing I do with any camera is set jpeg + raw as though I might want that picture now, I usually tend towards raw and not losing details in the picture. Don't be afraid of post processing - it's not as bad as it seems once you get the basics..

The nature of lens is well explained. Though in photography sensor and lens are equally important ends but it begins with the lens.

[@ArnoldWender]

My teacher always says, ‘Go manual or go home,’ and now I see why. While TV (shutter priority) and AV (aperture priority) modes might seem easier, my teacher insists that using manual mode is the best way to truly understand your camera and learn how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO work together. It’s a bit challenging at first, but it really helps improve your photography skills!

[@rustysickle2528]

My favourite trick of all is using zoom compression. It's a cheat card to get amazing shots even with very mediocre gear. When I explain stuff to people, I call ISO the microphone of light - just like a mic which amplifies sound and whatever surrounding noise there is, ISO does the same thing with light. I describe jpg vs raw as pdf vs word - You can’t edit much on one, while you have full control over the other.
