My photography has improved drastically thanks to you Paul.

[@spookieghost]

I’m so embarrassed to admit that I have been using Nikon camera for upwards of 10 years, (both DSLR and mirrorless), and have mainly always worked in auto mode and have relied heavily on post-editing. Thanks to this channel, my photography skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past year 100% thanks to this channel. I am so grateful for your videos!!!

[@photogenius]

Thank you so much for your support and great feedback. I'm so glad you are enjoying your videos and learning how to get more from your camera. Paul 👍 😀

[@miraatv_]

I feel a bit better that I'm not the only one! I finally got myself to sit down and try to learn what everything is about. My mom's birthday is comming and I'd like to take good memories

[@stacyburnett2809]

I’ve learnt more about my new Nikon D5600 in this 10 minute video than all the others I watched - thank you for making it so easy and clear to understand - love to see more videos on the functionally of the Nikon

[@theevil-g-nius7085]

FINALLY a video only on Nikon and its menus. You just taught me what that little hand meant and so much more. Thank you Paul!

[@photogenius]

Very welcome- appreciate the feedback.

[@MM-li8nk]

Great reminders, regardless of being covered in earlier videos, I appreciate that it’s a great idea to do recaps, especially for new users who don’t know or who haven’t seen your much older videos covering similar tips. Well done and thank you for your free content and sharing your expertise.

[@photogenius]

Really appreciate your support and feedback, thank you.

[@davem0udb]

Thanks Paul, always nice to have a gentle reminder as to where these functions are

[@photogenius]

Thanks Dave

[@Wildlife_thru_lenses]

This video really useful for me thank you so much

[@maureenmarshall1070]

Thanks Paul. I find your tips really useful and a good reminder of some of the things I forget like turning off VR when using a tripod. Nice that you don't concentrate on mirrorless, and your tips work for my D5300 .

[@janicebutler442]

I'm so happy I found your site, I had somehow turned on my auto ISO on my Nikon D800e & could not figure out how to turn it off, because I also watched your video on Shutter speed & you mentioned that in order to set my shutter the right way, I would need to set my own ISO, so now I can do what you suggested & I ' thank you' !!! Love your channel 😻

[@timothybrown7121]

Thank You for all your help !!!

[@photogenius]

You are welcome Timothy - thank you.

[@pepper6253]

Thanks Paul for re-introducing these hints. Some days we need these reminders ,especially since I do switch off using my Nikon D5300 for my new Nikon Zfc. lol Great reminders Thanks again have learned so much from your channel keep them coming .Be well.😃

[@egla8099]

Simple and clear! Love your videos I’ve learn so much about my Nikon D5600 😊 thank u

More useful stuff Paul, thanks for sharing.

[@photogenius]

Thank you Steve, hope you're well.

[@Marc-Alain]

Thank you.

[@maureenmarshall1070]

Thanks Paul, and it is nice that you cater for photographers who don't have the latest or mirrorless cameras. I am relatively happy with my Nikon D5300.

[@photogenius]

Hi Maureen, it's technique first, camera second - the D5300 is a very capable camera. Thanks for watching.

Great video gang

[@sachinpatil-hk8un]

thanks paul sir, you are a genius in photography, love all your videos

[@photogenius]

Wow, thanks, that is very kind - appreciate the kind feedback and support.

[@veivoli]

Paul, as someone once said we seldom need teaching but we frequently need reminding! Another good option to set on D3xxx and D5xxx (can't speak for others) is "Slot empty release lock" in the Setup menu. When set to "Lock" you can't fire the shutter unless a memory card is inserted.

[@photogenius]

Great tip! thanks for watching.

You are so welcome, thanks 👏

[@deanescott3331]

Thanks for the video. I have just returned from a week in the NT cussing my Nikon D7100 when I should have paid more attention during your previous videos. This video will definitely be my number 1 recerence point in the future.

[@photogenius]

I'm sure your camera will forgive you 😄. Thanks for watching Deane, I really appreciate the feedback and support.

[@premlaseraphim1115]

Finally, long waited video 😁

[@photogenius]

Thank you

[@LaurensHoengenaert]

Another great video. As usual no remarks on the clarity or style of the video, yet lately some videos really give me this déjà vu feeling. I'm a great fan of the channel and therefore have watched many of your older videos. As a result, these last videos cover many tips that were already mentioned in an earlier video. Would love to see some really new content on subjects that have not yet been covered. For example: how to use the different light meter settings (matrix, centre, spot) and how to apply them in different scenarios. Keep up the good work! You're a great teacher and your work is inspiring!

[@photogenius]

Hi Laurens, I really appreciate your feedback. In regards to content, I do plan very carefully what I share, hopefully getting the balance right. The stats tell me that currently there are more than double the number of new viewers compared to returning visitors like yourself. This is of course good for channel growth but does mean I will occasionally put out new videos that may contain content that has been previously covered. A video about the light meter settings is a great suggestion (thank you) and is on the list of future videos, I also have some other exciting projects coming up that I really hope you will enjoy. Best wishes and thanks for the support. Paul.

[@LaurensHoengenaert]

Hi Paul, that sounds like a more than logical explanation. Thank you for clarifying and I'm looking forward to these upcoming projects and videos! Keep up the nice work.

[@dhana43]

Thank you 👍💐🖤

[@photogenius]

You are very welcome, thank you kindly.

[@hemantkulkarni0212]

Hi Paul, great video as usual. Thanks for the wonderful tips you shared. I have a Nikon D3400 and despite several attempts to find, I am not able to locate the feature that turns on the 2×2 grid useful in following the 'rule of thirds'. Neither TTL nor LV. Would you please guide me on this ? Thank you.

[@MrsMinx50]

excellent reminders Paul much needed for me my camera is very similar to the one you were using I have d5600 and struggling to get the light meter showing as you did on the back screen which is why I'm struggling with M mode particularly can you help ? 👌👍

[@photogenius]

You can use this link to view my Nikon related videos, whilst they may not all feature the D3500, the info will still be relevant. kzbin.infosearch?query=nikon Best wishes Paul @ Photo Genius

[@Analogbrain]

Nice video, Paul! An important reminder, allthough it's important due to modern cameras unlogical layout. On any SLR prior to 1985 there's no need for a video on how to set shutterspeed, apperture and ISO.

[@photogenius]

Yep, and with ISO set by the film type, you had one less thing to adjust. Thanks for watching.

[@joellaltanpuia6884]

Sir, can you make a video for nikon user, the uses of AE-L / AF-L button and its function..

[@photogenius]

Hi Joel. This is certainly on the list of videos that I intend to make, appreciate the reminder. Paul

[@joehall7869]

Thanks Paul. Do you have any tutorials on the D700. Thanks have a great day

[@photogenius]

I'm sorry Joe, no specific tutorials on the D700.

[@joehall7869]

@@photogenius thanks for responding Paul stay well

[@debycolson]

Will any of your videos help with photographing the northern lights?

[@photogenius]

Hi Deb, Whilst I have no videos specifically about capturing the northern lights, I do think it will be worth watching my video on Firework photography as the camera settings and technique will be very similar. Here is the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIinpZSOjth6rac Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. Paul.

[@radturner1929]

GRAT JOB iso and shutter speed seem redundant. why would you want your image to be more gritty should be obvious need long f stop adjust steer speed iso shouldn't matter

Looks like they getting cheaper and cheaper, d3000 and d3100 looked better built than that.

"Nick-on"? Seriously?

[@photogenius]

Yep, us brits pronounce it the same was as they do in Japan, the home of Nikon. Thanks for watching.

[@dirkgibbens377]

@@photogenius Interesting. 🤔 I have offificially been schooled, and not too proud to admit it. 😔 Your content is awesome. Just now came across your videos and have subbed. Quite an impressive and broad array of content! I’m a recent retiree and am getting back into hobby photography after about 10 yrs away due to work, family, life, etc. I have a Nikon D50 (which I still love), thinking about a D5600, and I have Nikkor 28-105mm and 70-300. Excited to get back into it and try some new things. I just learned about HDR from another of your videos, and also want to try focus stacking. I love landscape, nature and street/architecture photography. I was a fan of Alfred Eisenstadt and duplicated some of his Martha’s Vineyard photos from an early book of his. Not a bad way to learn. Cheers!

[@markmalasics3413]

Well, isn't THIS interesting. A YT content creator who uses the name PHOTO GENIUS, and can't even pronounce the word Nikon correctly. SMFH. Just think.....Wile E. Coyote has competion.

Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto, let's call the whole thing off. 😀 Thanks for watching Mark.
