Nikon tips - how to adjust shutter aperture and ISO

[@Serkunny]

Wow clearest and most concise tutorial ever. I had been researching camera settings for over 3 hours, but I kept getting confused with all the lingo and settings, but now I understand how to change the camera settings to make them less bright. Thank you!

[@photogenius]

You are very welcome, thank you for watching.

Yeah 🙌

[@alisseril]

Great video. I just joined an online photography course for beginners. They asks to set aperture, shutter speed and iso to such and such value without saying how to do that. So I came here and my doubts are cleared in just 4 minutes. Thank you very much.

[@photogenius]

You are most welcome, thanks for the feedback and fro watching my video.

[@danielteng1972]

Finally someone who breaks it down to its simplest form. I’ve watched videos where the photographer takes ages to get to the point and doesn’t end up getting to the point anyway

[@missmerrily4830]

Finally a short and very good explanation. No waffle. Thanks very much!

[@pcthimmaiah]

I just bought a new Nikon d3500. Looking your videos its eased me to start using the camera. Keep going sir. You are real expert 👍

[@artabandonedphotos]

I appreciate it when people take the time to explain in non-elitist methonds and terms. I have a D7200 and a D800, and sadly I admit that a lot of my shots I get are just out of constantly adjusting. Trying to find the perfect settings are not always the easiest of tasks when shootings indoor concerts. I do appreciate the way you explained the functions/terms. Many thanks!

[@photogenius]

Thanks for watching. Indoor concert photography can be tricky, a lens with a large aperture is generally preferred Best wishes. Paul@ Photo Genius.

[@cathyz.7201]

THANK YOU so much! Had to use someone else's camera, and had no idea about these Nikon features🙈, was totally lost!

As a very new beginner, your video was immensely helpful and clear!! Thank you so much for taking the time out to share this

[@coldairballoon1395]

Thank you mate! Very very easy to understand and no unnecessary talking. Great :)

[@Xricowuzzhere69X]

I was so frustrated with my 50MM lens on my Nikon D5600! You just made things so simple to fix my F-stop. Thank you so much!

[@Triplebuc50]

I have the Nikon D3300, your videos have been very helpful.

[@photogenius]

+Robert Walker Thank you for your comment 👍

[@Darryl.M]

Thank you. Pulling my hair out trying to do a 20s long exposure without my D3200 changing to F22. Now I have it working at 1600iso 20s F3.5. The stars never looked so good. For that help and because your in the best city in the world you have a new subscriber.

[@carolyn3746]

And thankYOU for that too. I am setting my camera to these numbers and am so excited to be doing som astrophotography tonight. I am camping in a super-dark spot and the stars look amazing! Last night I was so frustrated trying to change things about but this tutorial helped me and now I am set to go (I had ISO on auto).

[@glennargenal2053]

Thank you, after a long search, I finally saw this video. It is very easy to understand.

[@skipanderson654]

Thank you for the great explanation. I bought a book on the D3100 a friend gave me. But still couldn't figure out how to change the f stop and iso. After this quick tutorial it was so straightforward!

[@freeedomphotography1077]

I've been all thru my cameras manual and could not figure out how to get ISO off of auto. Thank you so much!!

[@photogenius]

You are so welcome!

[@allypeterson1083]

It took me reading the instruction manual, playing around with the settings, as well as asking around and then finally finding this video for me to figure out how to change the f/stop and the shutter speed

[@vumsumi499]

Excellent tutorial, I didn't undestand why my pics were sometimes over expose, under expose and blured. I now have a better understanding from your tutorial. I am now taking better photos after watching your tutorial. Thank you

[@KiwiBrowne]

Very educational. I have a B500 Nikon camera and when outside, I can't see the monitor as it doesn't light up enough for me to see what I am trying to take a shot of. I have the monitor set at 5. How do I change this so I can actually see my subject on the monitor. At present, it is too dark to see anything outside in the sunlight. Thank you.

[@lapvona]

absolutely chuffed mate, got my first actual moon picture because of you !!

[@detectingdave]

I looked on here thinking you were going to show us how to set slow shutter speed on a Nikon P900, like it says in your heading, the P900 is nothing like a DSLR, so I was unable to work it out from this video. Apart from that if you are DSLR user then its spot on.

[@MYTALKS]

needed information missing in this video like use of shutter speed, F and ISO options , could you explain on this

[@sydneyn.3918]

Could not figure out how to adjust fstop but this video saved me!

I cannot get my aperture smaller than a F3.5. Could that be the reason? I’m taking wildlife photos. Please help me! Valerie

[@soumitrajhuntu467]

Thank you sir for this video ! I have seen many such tutorials all of which are so IDIOTIC that when you finish seeing them you remain quite in the dark as to where exactly in the camera body to touch for setting the values of the exposure dynamics! Thank you again!

I have the D5300 and your video was very helpful. I'm not so good at taking pictures, and some guy made some settings again and again, 'till i was f***ed up with them.. Now I know how to use it better. A gratefull thank you from me! :-)

[@renuagrawaldongre5684]

Thank you so much... You explained it so nicely which button too press... I had my auto mode on in ISO and was wondering what is wrong.

[@denitsavladimirova7419]

I like your tutorials!You explain very well! Thank you!

[@photogenius]

Thank you very much - your support is appreciated.

[@stephenpower1475]

I've been a working professional for over 40 years. I ONLY use manual mode in the studio (with studio lighting). I typically use Aperture Priority with the EV compensation dial. This allows me to set the aperture I need (for the most appropriate depth of field) and LEAVE it there, while tweaking exposure through the EV comp. If manual is used, it is too easy to end up having moved the aperture (or shutter speed) away from the original desired setting.

I use a nikon coolpix p900 but my ISO sensitivity is set on auto and can't be changed...

[@photogenius]

ISO should certainly be something you can change, however this may not be available unless you are in the Manual modes M,A,S or P.

[@shudgins48]

You have great help videos. I have the Nikon D3400. I’m still unable to get it off the “auto ISO” setting. I get a message which says “Not available in current settings or current state”. How can I get the camera set so I can set ISO off automatic?

[@Kunuro]

Hi, I have been using my Nikon d5600, and I had the shutter speeds all the way up, but the camera seems to still be taking very long pauses after I press the button to take a picture

[@herminaandrade3000]

I am a beginner and struggling with settings. Is it better to leave ISO setting on A to override my ISO settings in the beginning until I am more comfortable with my camera?

[@edithkjellker8050]

Thank you i now know but how do you put the extended object to normal

[@nicholastamas1204]

any way to easily adjust the aperture while in live view so i dont have to constaintly switch out of it every time i want to adjust the aperture ?

[@pschroeter1]

I've only had my Nikon D7500 for less than a week, but I believe you control the aperture with that dial in front of the power switch next to the red stripe.

[@johnyates153]

When I use aperture priority do I put auto ISO back on and adjust it to help shuttle speed setting ? Thank you.

[@misterbrammer]

Thank you so much for making that so easy to understand. Absolute legend!!

[@TheLowry4]

I would love if you could this with a T7. Also what it means to change the aperture etc. Why, and when. Examples.

[@MrsMinx50]

As always very informative Paul I learn so much from you , just catching up on tutorials I haven't seen thank you your a star🌟👍

[@sterlingstandage6754]

What is the best program mode shutter speed to create background blur while shooting moving objects?

[@photogenius]

This depends on how quickly the subject is moving, try using Shutter Priority mode (S) and start with a shutter speed of 1/50 (this is a good speed for cycles / runner etc), if you get too much blur increase the shutter speed (for faster moving subjects like cars etc). In the Shutter Priority mode the camera will adjust the aperture for you. Thanks for watching.

[@mauricemelvinimages2875]

This was very helpful. I have the Nikon D90. Thanks!
