I’m not a photographer, I don’t have time, working 6 days a week, but when I go outdoor with my son, or when I see something from my car, I stop and I take a snap for instagram with my iPhone. Few years ago, I started to watch youtubers teaching us how to make good photos. After a while I noticed I lose my time because most of the big names are playing the same song, ending showing off how good they are. Except you. Your videos are straight to the point, clear information, nothing going bla bla. Thank You for that. George.

Definitely agree with you, use high ISO with high shutter speed. If the noise is a real issue, it can typically be fixed in post. Focus and shutter speed can’t.

How I setup my fuji is that I use aperture priority and auto-iso. Fuji has a great auto-iso setting. Being able to set the lowest shutter speed and max iso basically makes it good for any type of photography. In addition I then have my exposure compensation on my right hand thumb wheel. I'd say this is far superior mode than manual for control and speed.

The only 'pros' that really ALWAYS shoot in manual are studio photographers or others using flash. I would say aperture priority or shutter priority are used by most others depending on whether they care more about controlling depth of field or motion blur respectively. Auto ISO with cameras with decent high ISO performance has made this a far easier way to shoot. The Fuji user interface, with manual physical controls for shutter speed, aperture and ISO, make shooting manual far simpler than most other systems.

Not really. As Roman mentions it when the lighting conditions do not change or vary much or are difficult, manual mode is in fact faster and more accurate (if the photographer is capable of accurate metering). Still, many pros have used film and manual cameras for years and are still using their digital cameras in manual mode most of the time, myself included. As for Fuji simplicity for use in manual mode, I have used Fuji, Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Leica and Hasselblad in manual mode I have not found anyone superior to any other. Cameras with an Electronic Viewfinder are a nice plus though (all the above-mentioned brand have that in their bag now).

I come from the old manual world where there was no automation either exposure or focus. I appreciate these new automated additions to photography. When automated exposure was added, I started using aperture priority and I still do. I can set exposure compensation if necessary. I look to ensure that the shutter speed is one that is appropriate. However, there are times when I switch to manual. What is important what mode you use (as you pointed out). What is important is that you understand what is being done. Of course, I still shoot with a lot of film cameras that don't have meters built in (Leica M4-P, Contax IIa) I enjoy these but I don't shoot my digital cameras as it they only had the features of 1950s/70s film cameras. That would be silly

The triangle - ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed, most photographers, make it confusing to understand, but man, you straight-forwardly solved almost everything. Very true. I have started doing this with my fuji xt3 recently. I wasn't sure if I was doing right or wrong, as you have experience, you made it very clear that I can follow these rules and not mess up with almost everything with the settings while taking a shot. Thanks for this video. I really needed it as a confirmation I am not doing wrong. I always shoot in manual since the beginning, but thousands of times, I have messed it up and missed shots...

This video is amazing, I struggle trying to get the right exposure triangle fiddling with all three parameters. This method makes so much sense and gives you freedom to take the shot, also if you know your ss dial you don’t even need to look, it’s just a click or so away from what you’re looking for. Great advice, many thanks Roman.

In 1991 I took a photography class in college as an elective and it changed my life, in the sense that I learned how to use a manual SLR camera, develop film and make prints. I borrowed my Dad's Minolta SRT101. I ruined film, made every rookie mistake you could make. But my takeaway was how the camera worked and how to correctly expose negatives. Thanks to learning it old school, I can use a modern digital camera exactly the same way... because all of those old school features come on new cameras still. I say that to say this- if you are serious about photography it is worth your time to learn how to shoot film on an old SLR. A film camera on ebay is a thousand dollars cheaper than a new DSLR and it will make you an expert.

Yes and then you have to pay for film and processing, or better... learn buy and learn darkroom. It is a different ball-game. One can be serious and stick with digital without any problem these days there many advantages (except the original price of equipment although these days the difference is getting smaller and you get better lenses. Yesterday's lens resolution (for film) is far under today's lenses' resolution which are designed for high sensor resolution. Owning or even using tool whatever the field does not suddenly make anyone into an expert. Work does be it with film or digital.

Since I am old and my muscle memory is not so good I have set my manual focus ring to change the ISO. This way I have only to turn the manual focus ring to get the the proper exposure after setting the shutter speed and aperture initially. I tried auto ISO but the scene gets dark when in bright light and vice versa and one has to lock the exposure and then compose. Now I compose first and then turn the manual focus ring ever so slightly to set the exposure. This method has given me many keepers.

Thank you. I always tried to keep shutter fixed at, say, 500 and control the exposure through ISO only (for the ease of turning only one dial). Always had problems with this approach. Had to raise ISO in dark areas to 6400, and ISO 160 was not low enough in very bright areas. So I ended up turning two dials most of the time (ISO and shutter). Your Method works much better. No problem with ISO 500 as default.

With regards to iso i have a compact point and shoot camera with a sensor smaller than a normal apsc crop sensor (and use a film camera) and even at iso 800 the noise/grain is barely noticable. You are always better off having a higher iso to gain leverage of shutter speed. A blurry photo is worse than a grainy photo 9 out of 10 times. Also manual focus using zone focusing is ideal for most fast paced photography situations.

So I don't worry about high ISO any more.

Great stuff. For for me, with my X-T4, I always have aperture on manual. For the rest if there's plenty of light I'll usually let Auto ISO handle it - with my hopping between my 1, 2 lr 3 Auto ISO categories depending on how broadly fast I want the shutter speed to be. I have my front control dial set to Exposure Compensation that I have areally instant way to adjust exposure. Auto ISO is great at keeping ISO as low as possible and then speeding up the shutter speed once that ISO bottoms-out, which is exactly what I'd do anyway in full manual so I let the computer handle it. But, when the light gets lower, it makes more sense to take over the shutter speed manually. Or, sometimes, in low light I'll just set the ISO to something I can just about tolerate and see if that makes the shutter speed fast enough. Stuff like that.

??? by definition if you are in Aperture priority, the camera selects the appropriate shutter speed not you.

I must be missing something here.
@BIMLounge

@@BrunoChalifour Yes, aperture priority but with "Auto ISO minimum shutter speed". You control the aperture, the camera controls ISO and SS, but by setting a minimum (to avoid motion blur) the camera will prioritize the ISO adjustment over the shutter speed. Most modern cameras have that or there are workarounds. In that mode if still underexposed it will have to hit your max ISO setting (say 6400, 8000, etc...) before it starts going lower than the minimum shutter speed. At that point it's probably night time so I would just go manual so you can dial in the ISO yourself and save you some stops of noise. Otherwise during the day the A-AISO-MINSS is perfect for street: set the camera to F8, min SS at 250, forget about the camera and just focus on subjects.

I keep my ISO mostly at 640 for a few reasons. DR400% preserves the highlights far better than base ISO, and it just makes life easier. Slight noise in the shadows doesn't bother me. Sometimes I use aperture priority with DR400 setting and just use the exposure comp dial. Just gotta be careful not to over/underexpose too much. I find there's only about +/- 1 stop of leeway when using the DR setting, especially with film simulation recipes.

It's not without compromises, since the sensor is reading and storing dual gain output, so the shadows will be noisier. The way I see it, I'm just trading the shadow dynamic range to be used in the highlights. Edit: It also makes sense if you think about how F-log has a base of 640 iso. The highest possible dynamic range is actually not at base, but at 640.

All that DR400 does is "false" HDR (artificially lightening the shadows at the risk of exposing noise, and there is more noise at 640 iso than 160 that is why I choose 160 over 640 if the lighting conditions allow it). There is strictly no extension of DR (it is scientifically impossible unless, and this would also be artificial, artificial intelligence on the camera processor invented the missing information.

Using mostly 24-104mm lens, I tend to try shoot between 80 & 200. Got a few great water rapid shots today using 3 stops under with a tripod. Using the 5D IV and 'L' lens of course. The combo allows me some pretty high ISO's with still nice pictures if needed, like last week in a cave shooting with limited light and too lazy to remove the polarizing filter.. lol

Good advice. Thank you. Basically all of the time I use my aperture ring, half of the time I will use the shutter speed dial and for ISO I mostly use auto ISO and just limit that to either 1600, 3200 or 6400 depending on the light...I should really change that behavior. Keep up the good work.

Good video, the only thing you forgot to take into account is that highlight centric metering modes exist (tho not on Fuji`s , which you seem to shoot) . So that helps you use either A or S priority in those high contrast scenes where you want the highlight parts metered correctly. That's been a life-saving metering mode ever since Nikon introduced it in late 2014. And it's sad that my X100V doesn't have it.

Interesting mode from Nikon, but it is easy to get away with A or S just using negative exposure compensation.

I generally like to be in control of two of my settings instead of the camera being in control of two of them. A rarely use aperture priority mode. I mostly shoot in manual mode but if the light is changing a lot then I will use auto ISO. That way I control the depth of field and the shutter speed.

I always shoot fully manual. Bur my subjects normally do not move :)) My experience with the XT3 is that in dark lighting the ISO 640 is perfect without any noise problems. I never use the ISO's between 160 and 640. It even makes it more simpler. In the XT3 engine at ISO 640 extra noise reduction is activated (for RAW). Yes at night I do use max ISO 1600 and will open more the lens. But as you I do like to adjust mostly with the shutterspeed to get the histogram OK, Aperture and ISO do stay the same most of the time.

All good stuff and using a mix and match for various situations. Though I must admit to using auto ISO base to 800 250th & 5.6 both of which can be altered quickly as you said.

My favorite way to shoot especially in dynamic situations: manual aperture and shutter speed, auto iso with exposure compensation assigned to one of the dials on my right hand. I agree that fully manual settings are great for controlled situations like landscape and studio, but in street photography sometimes you don’t have the time to fiddle with exposure when your shot is walking right past.

You do not have to if your light source does not change. If it does you set it in advance.

Great informative video as always, I used to shoot a lot in manual but I switched to AP, as to diminish the number of variables to change in case I had to be quick. Now I feel like I over-rely on it a tad too much, which I'm traing to change as to ascertain that I don't settle on it out of easiness/lazyness.

Exposure comp. dial does the same thing just more intuitive, within the set perimeters of min shutter and max. acceptable iso. The only advantage for street photography going shutter dial route is controling the motion blur. This actually sounded more like shooting in shutter priority then truly shooting manual. Correct me please if I am wrong.

Notes: Use Manual Mode When: ---Challenging light, Consistent light ---Motion Blur, Freeze Motion ---Slow Down or Focus on Process ---Need Full Control for A specific scene No Manual Mode When: ---Constantly changing light ---Fast Paced Environment ISO ---Bright & constant daylight = Base (160) ---Overcast & constant light = (320) ---High contrast & changing light = (320-500) Aperture ---Excess light, less separation, sharpest image = f8 - f11 Shutter Speed 1/125 - 1/4000 Ideally around 1/500 minimum

Wondering if I could get some advice. I have an XT-3 with the 18-55mm lens. I find night time photography a nightmare with this - I generally need to zoom to get a proportional looking image of some cars and it bumps the aperture to F4 at the highest. Last night I had to shoot at 1/15 handheld, on burst to get a focused image, with a 3200 ISO - in hindsight, I should’ve probably cranked this to 6400 and increased my shutter speed slightly but still ended up with shots too dark. Really happy with the lens during the day and at dusk, it’s very good but night time under a street lamp or something is just not doing it for me. Was considering a tripod to really slow the shutter but thinking I might need to go with something like a 35mm prime. If I went with these low light settings, I’d end up with really dark image.

I agree with your settings. but I think you have to think about where are you going to show the pictures - Shutterfly, Instagram, large format printed picturedifference as to what quality you need for the end result. I shoot a lot of sports photos to post on Shutterfly using my X-T2 and a 100-400 lens. I set my aperture to give me a greater depth of field to get better in focus shots, I use a 500 to 800th shutter speed to allow some motion blur, anklet the ISO float. Obviously, for street photography or landscape shots I would use a different set-up. So, before you set-up the settings, you need to consider the where the shots are viewed, how much motion in the type of photography you are done, and can you use a tripod to hold the camera and take high quality shots. Love your channel, and you inspoire me to get out and take more shots. Thanks

Lovely video..cleared all my doubts.. the other day I had gone for a photo walk and the first shot I took was way under expose when I was using AP. I was wondering why? At F8,1/500 and base iso. I still couldn’t figure out why the shot was underexpose on a dark background. This video has help me understand the exposure triangle better and hopefully will not make the same mistake again and miss a shot. What about focusing mode would you use with your manual settings or AP?
