Hope all you Canon users enjoy the video and find the tips useful - thanks for watching and supporting, please like and share to help my channel grow. Paul @ Photo Genius 😀 📷 👍

Photo Genius which camera are you working with in the video

[@photogenius]

The video features a Canon EOS 1300D.

[@janiehall6095]

Hello would u do a video on how to use digital zoom in cannon 800D please

[@KayDsoul]

Can I apply this too canon 400D?

[@user-gi4xe9ps2n]

You’re simply the best Paul.

[@dawnadam6164]

Just bought a Canon to help with Lockdown boredom, looking forward to learning new skills with your help. Thanks for the videos.

[@photogenius]

Great to hear! Make sure you join in with our weekly photo challenge, we are now into week 7 but you can go back and try any of the previous challenges if you wish.

[@SchardtCinematic]

What model did you buy? I started with a Canon T3i (600D) in 2012. I loved that camera so much. I sometimes forget the excitement of your first DSLR and playing around with all the features. Such as the creative filters and experimenting. Like ok I have an iso of 6400. You couldn't even buy film that went that high. So how dark can it get and still get a decent image and etc. This channel helps me remember that. I gave my daughter my T3i and I know shoit with a 5D mark III and a Canon 90D. I actually love the 90D because it's a nice hybrid between my pro 5D mark III and my T3i. Enjoy your new camera and never stop enjoying using it.

[@steveneconomos543]

Paul, you are an excellent teacher. You videos are very well structured, clear and easy to follow. While it's a good idea to read the manuals that come with a camera, an excellent video such as yours beats reading those dry and often baffling manuals!

Thanks for the tutorials, I can't find my RAW settings on my Canon PowerShot SX20IS, I want high res & I need images at 300dpi.

Hi Dawn, I've just checked and from what can see the SX20IS does not offer the option to shoot RAW. SO check your settings and make sureyiou are shooting in the highest Jpeg and resolution settings.

can you teach us some edit tips?

[@MrMiss-cp9bw]

*feels left out with his Nikon* 😁 Keep up the good job Paul! E) Finally got off work and had a chance to view the video :p Tip 1 works for Nikon as well 👍 Tip 2 works, at least, with the D3400 (but in the front near the barrel and after setting the FN button to Iso - Just like in the video) 👍 Tip 3 The Nikon D3400 also have a bunch of editing features that might find your liking while out in the field ^.^

[@photogenius]

Hope I addressed with the Nikon video 😀

[@hansvanwijhe7891]

Thanks for these tips, Paul. Just a simple question. Hitting the asterisk again will unlock exposure?

[@photogenius]

No, if you hit the lock (asterisk) button it locks the exposure again - to unlock you can press any button on the rear of the camera (try the q button), or wait for camera to sleep or take an image. Thanks for watching.

[@Diesel6Power]

@@photogenius Hey Poul, on my M5 and M100 exposure lock locks it, if you hit it again, it unlocks it... It may be different setup between MILC and DSLRs...

hi can you send me the link to your video on how to reset after sending my photos to a folder

[@MileyonDisney]

From iso.org "Because 'International Organization for Standardization' would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), our founders decided to give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO." It's a word "iso", nt an acronym "I-S-O". Think isometric or isochronous.

[@067captain]

Just found your videos. Best I have found to date, because you explain things assuming the listener doesn’t know anything, which I don’t! Too many KZbin photographers assume a level of knowledge. Can I respectfully suggest when explaining features, you show photos that explain what you are talking about. Just a thought. Have subbed, thanks for posting.

[@photogenius]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave feedback - it is very much appreciated. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and will certainly take on board your suggestion of including more images. Paul 😀

[@SchardtCinematic]

Dont forget to spin the wheel on top right to skip 10 photos at a time as well. If you remember about what other photos you took around that time. Once you think you're close. Then hit the button to pan out yo showing a grid of multiple photos at once.

[@marciateresi296]

I like your tabletop tripod on this video. Can you share brand, where purchased??? Would it work with bigger/longer lense? Is it pretty stable? Thanks so much

[@photogenius]

Hi Marcia The mini tripod I use the most is the Manfrotto PIXI EVO: amzn.to/2HTMe22 Depending on weight it should work with a telephoto.

[@theosphilusthistler712]

To be pedantic ISO does not control light. It does nothing to light. What it controls is the amount of electrical gain applied to the signal received (at the cost of noise, detail, dynamic range and colour depth). It should usually be the last option for obtaining (the appearance of) correct exposure.

[@Upal_Chatterji]

I have a question Paul - I feel that the colours in my photos dont look so vibrant and alive , pls advise which area I should be trying to improve or what I could be doing wrong , I use the Canon T7 and shooting with the kit lens or 50mm prime , grateful for your answer
