David Manning so I Just got into doing photography I got a Fujifilm s1800 and it takes AA batteries, the batteries that I use die very fast and I was wondering what u think would be the best recharging batteries or what would be the best batteries to use thank u for the help And I watched this video so far 3 to 4 time to lock it in lol

[@that_chismosa_nurse]

~ My own notes: 7:56 summary of everything 0:57 ISO - the sensitivity of camera sensor; the higher the iso, the more sensitive the cam sensor is gonna be; higher iso = more light but also more noise and grainy as well; set your iso based on the SCENE 2:40 Aperture - the size of lens opening/hole; the smaller the aperture, the bigger the lens hole, the more light comes in and vice versa; example: lens f/3.5 & f/38... 3.5 has bigger hole while 38 has smaller hole; the picture gets more detailed as the lens opening gets smaller; set your aperture based on the SUBJECT; if you want more depth of field (or more detailed pic), go for higher aperture (or small lens opening) 5:55 Shutter speed - the amount of time (in seconds) that the shutter is open; example: 1/50, 1/250, or 1/8000 of a second for faster shutter speed. There is also 1", 2" , 10" for slower shutter speed meaning your shutter is open for 10" (10 seconds); shutter speed controls motion blur, use faster shutter speed for sports to capture crisp motion and make a fast-moving object freeze in time and avoid blur; slow shutter speed = more motion blur Fix scenario #1: image is too dark: - slow the shutter speed - lower the aperture - raise the iso Fix scenario #2: too bright: - lower the iso - raise the shutter speed - raise the aperture

"Explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old" is, by far, the best way to start when venturing into this world as a beginner. The explanations were given under the premise the viewer knew nothing about each setting, right down to when and why a photographer would need to change any of them. The examples were a great visual aid as well. This was exactly what I needed to feel ready for the next step in learning. Thank you!!

[@yashkhd1100]

If someone can't explain easy enough mostly they themselves are not clear about it. The other thing is good photography is involved but not a deep science subject which requires deep amount of knowledge. Usually you start with basics and if it sticks you will learn on ur own by experience but some folks who charge huge amount of money needs to make it complicated to look their expensive course worthy.

I like to use auto mode just bcs its faster in some case like at safari but if i have plenty of time to shoot i prefer the manual mode or one of the three priority mode.

[@Pidalin]

set it to Av mode, set auto iso and change manualy only aperture, that's the best more for like 90% of all situations, playing with completely manual mode is crazy for begginers

[@jadeSLenin]

@@Pidalin what exactly is AV mode? I have a $300 Nikon, not sure if I even have this setting... ?

[@Pidalin]

@@jadeSLenin I mean aperture priority, which is what most of photographers use most of the time. I don't know how it's marked on Nikon cameras, it's mostly Av or just A. www.oehling.cz/data/imgs/29/0031329l.jpg You just set aperture manualy, so you have control over depth of field and you let other things (shutter speed and ISO) on auto which is ok in most of situations.

If I may add one tip that really helped me as a beginner regarding fstop: if you imagine a long line of letter Fs going into the distance, the higher the fstop, the more Fs will be in focus, the lower the fstop, the fewer Fs will be in focus. I hope that helps someone. 👍 Good video, cheers.

This video here taught me more in 10 minutes then reading it online. Thank you very much for the fast and simple explanation and the amazing chart that accompanies it.

[@welcti]

The advice to set ISO first and shutter speed last is great for photography. However, everyone should keep in mind that if shooting video, the order is basically reversed. You typically want the shutter speed set as close as possible to 2x your framerate, you still want to set aperture second to get the depth of field you want, and then you adjust ISO last to get brightness to match. If your camera doesn't have enough usable ISO range to achieve the right target brightness, if the image is too bright, you can darken it with filters. If it's too dark/noisy on the other hand, then you may have to compromise on depth of field, and possibly slow down the shutter speed slightly.

[@RicardoEsteves]

I actually adjust the ISO last all the time. I see ISO as a last measure that will only be bumped up from 100 if I really need it. Usually I just set my aperture first, then my shutter speed as low as possible while maintaining the ISO at 100, and only if I can't make the shutter speed slower than what I usually feel comfortable (around 1/160), only then I'll bump up the ISO. I use a 1.4 56mm on a Sony a6400, btw.

The acronym ISO stands for “International Organization for Standardization”. However, camera ISO does not directly refer to the organization that creates various technology and product standards. Ever since two film standards called ASA and DIN were combined into ISO standards in 1974 (later revised for both film and digital photography), they were referred to as one word “ISO” from that point on. Although ISO initially defined only film sensitivity, it was later adopted by digital camera manufacturers with the purpose of maintaining similar brightness levels as film. You can say it either way as well.

[@rrrāmusic963]

Was searching for that comment lol

[@jimlanders]

The International Standards Organizarion change occured in 1983 and was fully adopted in 1984. BTW, I not only remember the change, I still have a roll of film that showed both. That roll of film states 1983/1984 to show the period of time of the change. Now I just need to find it so I can photograph it...

@@jimlanders That would be amazing. My first camera was my grandfathers Minolta SRT-101 and he had some unused fujichrome in boxes still. I really want to use it but can't bring myself to open it.

[@certs743]

Pretty much. I mean in application it always was a measurement for light sensitivity either for film or plates or a sensor but the "word" to indicate it has always been the acronym for whatever standard was being used and the organization that devised it. There were a few out there Including GOST if you ever used soviet Cameras. This idea that ISO is a word in isolation seems to be no more than the 2010s and seems to come from the internet and probably people who have never used a film camera older than the 80s.

the sign of a fantastic video is even after 5 years you still have people referring to it and watching it. this is a fantastic video, thanks

[@DavidManningvlog]

I appreciate you watching! Thank you!!!

[@NishanSaliya]

I started studying photography very recently and this is one of THE BEST videos I came across for the subject (I should have seen this first before watching lots of others). This is very short video but have the essential basics covered. The SS was awesome. Thank you for the word ISO (eye-so) ... I never knew !!!

Oh, I LOVE YOU!! You are sooo easy to understand! I am learning so I could take pictures of my products and this has been a life saver!! ❤

[@amandak5357]

Hi, I'm Amanda. I just bought my first camera after years of taking pictures with my phone that people thought were taken with a camera. I saved and bought a Sony A7R III. I wanted to thank you for this video because to be honest I'm pretty overwhelmed. There's a lot I need to learn. I have taken a few good shots without doing anything with the settings(because I have no clue). I've been told I have a good eye for composition? Anyway, I'm a counsellor but have a dream to become a professional photographer and make amateur documentaries. Your video was so good for me because it gave me some of the basics in 10. I'm the same as you. With anything new I need it explained to me like I'm a 5 yr old. Thank you so much. Truly. -Amanda

[@DavidManningvlog]

Love hearing that Amanda! If you have any other questions along the way, drop them in the comments on a video and I'll get them answered!

Amanda needs to spell counsellor with ONE "L". (counselor). (it won't affect your photography though)

I'm new to the photography universe. Thank you for those videos ! Straight to the point, easy to understand

[@jasonrichardson2516]

Have to say pal - really enjoying your videos. I’ve never commented on KZbin before but started watching you after I ordered my first GoPro (7 Black) - found your videos super informative and love your footage. I’ve been trying to get into photography for years but never quite got beyond the basics but you have inspired me to give it another push and can’t wait to start playing with my GoPro. Keep up the great work, you’re one of the best I’ve seen on here.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thank you so much Jason, super kind of you! I think you nailed it that you just need to make that push and be consistent about using the GoPro. Obviously, the more you practice, the better you get! With the older DSLR cameras, we used to joke that you weren't a photographer until you've broken a shutter. Mainly, because shutters were rated to about 100,000 releases. So you would need to take 100,000 photos to break one! Hahhaa! Not sure what it is with the GoPro, but I promise you the more you play with it, the better and better you'll get! If you put together any videos, send a link my way, I would love to check them out!

[@vjmcdonn]

this video was absolutely fantastic!!! I've been trying to understand my Sony A7ii for a while now and this video made me so unbelievably comfortable with it!! i finally feel like i know what i'm doing!!! thank you sooo much!!! I cannot believe this video doesn't have several million views!!

This is easily the best tutorial I've seen on KZbin, PERIOD. I never comment, but wow I felt that I had to. Hats off to you sir

[@jalee408]

Hey David, I'm just getting into DSLR and out of 20+ basic tutorial vids I've watched on YT yours is the best in terms of simplicity, ease of understanding, and personal vibes. I went to check out your playlists in hopes of finding more beginner tutorials, but didn't see an easy way to find more. Would you consider creating a shorter playlist of maybe ~10 vids specifically for beginners? May simply be curating some that you already have posted into something like "first 30 days of photography". I think that would help get more viewers to your channel and convert. I'll be returning to your channel regardless, thanks!
