Tips Paul shared for Canon DSLR - tips apply to all recent Canon models 1. Quick Access instead of Menu: Q-button - can be a timesaver 2. Drive and Self-timer Mode: button looks like a deck of cards 3. Live View Mode: Camera symbol on the button - see the image in real-time 4. Picture Style: Back and White shooting: Q-button - Picture Style -> Monochrome = Black + White 5. Memory Card: format and reformat card: Menu -> Tool Option. Thanks, Paul! You're a real Photo Genius!

Use the Timer+C , and use multiple shots - Great for group pix where folks may have closed their eyes at different times. Love this feature ! I can be in the shot, and still take bursts

[@mrseafrog]

One of the simplest and informative beginner videos I have watched. The LIVE view suggestion to get a general sense of what type of picture you will be getting is top notch!

[@Rose-inspirations]

Thank you so much. I have learned so much in just one video. I especially love that you actually don't talk so far about everything and go through things so quickly. I have seen videos where I was more confused after watching them then I was before. You are producing great videos where people actually can learn. Thank you!

[@photogenius]

Thank you kindly Rose, I really do appreciate the kind feedback and I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Best wishes to you.

[@ryanswales1227]

Hey man. Great video. I am some what of a beginner at photography with the canon rebel t6. Have had it for just over a year but am still learning the many functions it is capable of. One thing you mentioned was that you can gets separate shutter remote that attaches to the side of the camera. But also one thing I learned shortly after getting the camera is that you can download a canon app to your phone and use that to operate the shutter wirelessly. It’s a great feature. It’s also great if you run out of space on your cameras SD card because you can download all your photos on the go and then format your card. The only down side is that most phones if not all phones will not down load any video you may have taken. So be careful there or you may lose you videos unless downloading to a laptop or something other then a phone. Just thought you may want to mention those things in another video if you haven’t already. Otherwise like I said Great video and learning tool you have created. I will be watching more of your videos to learn as much as I can. Thanks.

[@photogenius]

Thanks Ryan, I have discussed the app as an alternative to remotes in other videos. I've personally found the Canon app to be better than the Nikon when testing. Appreciate your feedback and thank you for watching and supporting my channel.

[@yingchen8979]

I love your videos. They are at the right length and right pace. Very practical and useful. I’ve learnt from each of your videos and have recommended your channel to friends. Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge, tips, advice and passion for photography.

[@jerryharris1050]

[@photogenius]

Thank you Jerry for watching and taking the time to comment - your support is very much appreciated.

[@lorettal4587]

I just purchased this exact camera and the tricks and tips you've featured here are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

[@monkiram]

This is so helpful, thank you so much! I've been watching lots of photography videos but most are too advanced for me as there's lots I don't understand and most of the other beginner videos I can find are just about the exposure triangle (which has been drilled into my brain after all the videos I've seen lol). I've been really needing videos like yours to explain everything in between!!

[@photogenius]

Glad to read the videos are helping. Of course understanding the exposure triangle is extremely important - but there is so much more to learn and I hope my channel can provide plenty off extra tips and tricks to help you get even better photos. Thanking you for your support.

[@gabrielagabriela8888]

Thank you so much! I was having a pretty rough time finding the black and white mode on my camera, and I was starting to get mad. All I want to do is make some ART, and sometimes technology can be a little confusing. I sometimes miss the simplicity of using a film camera, without all the functions. However, I do enjoy the photo quality of the digital age. Thank you for explaining how to use the features in an easy way. Subscribed!

Hi, for the eos 1300D is there any way to pull the screen out or any other attachment that can be added to create a flip screen? And are you able to attach a light? Alternatively, are there any devices which you can plug into the camera which will show you the image live on a larger screen for you to view if you were doing self portraits for example? I hope that makes sense

Is there any way to set a timer for the camera apature? Like 6 seconds or so?

[@photogenius]

You may be confused with the way the aperture works. The apertures in the lens and is always open, but you can adjust how far open it is and therefore how much light passes through the lens. This video might help : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4WxoGehoKx9bNU The shutter controls how long you allow light to be captured : kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5u2dauaiLatoNU You can use a timer to delay your image being tan.
