i bought a nikon d5300 + af- p 18-55 vr lens.does the af-p give you a better video focusing????

[@gioseppealcoreza6481]

Tony & Chelsea Northrup Does the D5300 Kit Lens of 18-55mm is good?

[@abdulahm]

The Self Timer: It takes the same amount of time for every other shot. Is there any way to set the time only for 1st picture and then take multiple pictures quickly because if you'd have to wait for 5 seconds for every 2nd group picture to be taken then it won't be much different then the 1st one???? Thanks

[@stancelife4501]

Tony & Chelsea Northrup Hi man !! I am having problem while shooting video, too much noise while AF. Is there any solution?

[@nataschan1972]

Thank you so much for your quick tutorial. Now I can go and practice...a lot. Do you have any suggestions for the better backpack to use for traveling?

[@iglesiasublimegraciaenharb8333]

292 people are hating on a real , explained clearly, straight to the point, camera video. Thank you for the hard work. This video was great

[@spiritalan]

Got my D5300 camera yesterday. Used it today with the result of numerous questions. I found your video and you answered nearly all of them in this video. Then, you introduced a bunch of other tips and tricks useful to this camera. Excellent video for anyone who needs to get started in taking good pictures on this camera. I will be watching this video again as you suggested. Thanks for your work.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

spiritalan Congrats on the new camera! Enjoy!

[@advaitpathak4330]

@@TonyAndChelsea Can you recommend a good cleaning kit for my D5300?? Thanks!!

[@hellono3936]

how do u charge it?😂

[@sachin.animusical]

This is how a video should be...and the voice is awesome...

[@petomai1824]

Totally agree.... Been looking at other videos and they all have annoying background music...... How can you learn with such noise going on?

[@SebastianPlagge]

You can enable subtitles :) It will help and mostly works pretty well.

[@tushargoswami354]

Personality also

[@johncastillo9933]

I don't usually go for suggested products in videos, but I'm gonna get your book. You're great at teaching.

[@TheMonachee]

Right, I feel the same.

[@juliemitchell7964]

This is by far the best tutorial I've found. I'm a total new beginner so thank you very much for this.

[@itasharaf9259]

I have watched many camera beginners tutorial videos (Nikon D5300) and all found partially but this is the best one i found more transparent / easy to understand. Very good awareness class! Thanks a lot

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad I could help!

[@HedroomMax]

Asharaf must have read my thoughts. Nice job Tony!

[@garochaarte]

Great video. I bought the camera for my brothers marriage and I am watching this video just a few hours before the weeding. Thank you very much !!!

[@glenjones182]

Watched this video when i bought camera. 10 years on, draging the old D5300 out of retirement, never knew how to drive it properly but now off work with illness, this video is so helpfull. I will spend time getting a handle on manual settings. Thank you

[@LibertyFirst1789]

Tony, I was 17:39 into this video when it dawned on me how much of genius you are as a businessman for making these videos.

[@pouyapouya8948]

***** I learn a lot through watching good programs Tony uploads and do admire Chelsea's beauty, beside learning. They do a significant effort in doing what they do and why not to have financial benefit of that? Wishing all the best for Chelsea and Tony and please continue what you are doing so well.

[@EcuadorLive]

I agree, nothing wrong with making a living while providing a valuable service. I just studied for and pass the Part 107 using their video study guide, and it was 100% free. I really enjoy this channel, it's way more entertaining than reading manuals as I improve my photography. Keep it up!

[@josesanabria3819]

I just can't start to thank you enough for all your contribution to photography and help that you and your wife give to beginning photographers. Your videos are always interesting, educational, and neat. I am a big fan of both brands, Canon and Nikon and have many DSLRs from both makes; they're just awesome! Thank you again!

[@RafaelSousaBraga]

9 years later, just got my camera and this tutorial is very helpful!

[@babymetalworlddomination7924]

I just bought my camera a couple of weeks ago and your tutorial has been extremely helpful. Far too many sources assume the user already knows more than we actually do know, which can be quite frustrating. So I particularly appreciate the clear and concise manner in which you explain the various functions of the camera. And at no time do I feel like I'm being talked down to. I greatly respect that about you. One thing that I think should be mentioned is how to adjust the camera so that the video screen does not keep going into sleep mode. For those who do not know, go to: MENU>CUSTOM SETTING MENU>C TIMERS/AE LOCK>C2 AUTO OFF TIMERS. Thanks again, Mr Northrup. I look forward to reading your books! D

[@TonyAndChelsea]

BabyMetalWorldDomination Thanks, and good tip about the screen!

[@hotmessheidi]

Can't thank you enough for this tutorial!! This is my first "big kid" camera and I had no idea how to use it! You answered so many questions that I didn't even know that I needed to ask! Again, thank you times a million! This was infinitely helpful :)

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks, and glad I could help!

[@xGALAXYRADIOx]

As a novice photographer, you are by far the best source of information that I've found.

[@HeddahWho]

I just bought the d5300 yesterday and was feeling a little intimidated moving up from a nice point and shoot. I am so glad that I found your video. You have really helped me get comfortable with the basics and I'm looking forward to learning more. I have loved photography since I was little and finally have a camera that I can use to really learn on. I'm excited to start taking pictures with my new camera!

[@jcv71]

That's probably one of the best camera tutorials I've ever seen, very clear, to the point, thorough. Thanks Tony.

[@theguyinthefunnyhat]

I got this camera and I love it. I upgraded to it from my D3200. I've only being shooting for under a year but I have pretty much mastered both the D3200 and D5300. I watched this video to see what features I might have missed - the only ones were the grid lines in the view finder and the ISO in view finder. It's a fantastic camera. The wifi features are fantastic and make it easy to share my pictures right there and then. I love the mobile utility app and use it a lot for self portraits. Brilliant camera for beginners.

[@2muchRnR]

Best video ever on my Nikon D5300 camera (actually, on how to use any SLR camera). You are a pro at simplifying things! And OMG! You've packed so much info in this video! Thank you so much! BTW, I purchased your book, "How To Create Stunning Photography ... ." Glad I did!

[@charleenhuyler5119]

I just bought the D5300 camera and this video is very informative. Your presentation is clear and easy to follow - the best I have watched in my research on how to get the best use of the camera. Thank you!

[@lordodin6356]

I have been watching your video's and tutorials for many years and even watch the ones about Camera's i don't even own. They are great for going back to and reminding yourself about certain things. It was your guide to the Pentax K-S2 that got me hooked on watching you and it made me Change Camera's to the Pentax K-S2 which i bought brand new back in 2014 and still have. I love my Pentax, i recently bought the D5300 as something new to play with and remembered this guide and have watched it twice in the past week and the Content is still as valid now as it was then. I also have your Stunning Digital Photography which your references to are a great help. I haven't got the Lightroom one as i still use jpeg but am going to step it up a level and shoot RAW. Thanks for all your help and guidance over the years it's much appreciated.

[@faaniali20]

I need to download this video and I will watch it again and again until I understand. Thank you mr Tony :)

[@PLASTICWOOD03]

Just bought the D5300 today and love it even more than I did due to your video. Thanks, Tony!! Loved the vid.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Devin Flanagan You're welcome, and thanks!

[@hbshh1]

Same here, I bought it today too. Didn't have time to watch this video yet, but I'm sure this video is great. Thanks Tony.

[@EmmerdalePat]

Thank you so, so much! Just got my D5300 yesterday - a step up from my trusty D3300 which I have had for a few years now. Needed a second camera, so treated myself to this little beauty (with a few extra features). I have watched many tutorials - some I have found useful, others not so useful. Really pleased that I watched this one the whole way through. I loved the way that Tony broke down the whole video into small manageable sections, explaining everything simply while demonstrating on the camera. It felt great to be able to follow his instructions without feeling lost or confused. Thanks again...Pat x

[@rahimmiah51]

I recently ordered my D5300 expected to come in the next couple of days. And I really appreciate this video the amount of detail and knowledge you are sharing to people is great. Awesomely video. Keep it up! Rahim.

[@nicholbean]

Great video Tony! Got the camera today and already feel 100 times more confident with it... subscribed! Merry Christmas!

Jack Nicholson Thanks, Jack! Enjoy!

[@chancr11]

Wow, what great hands on for new users can't recommend this enough. I found this extremely useful.

[@abigailcarbon4231]

Wow! This video is extremely clear and informative. I have had my d5300 for about six months now and I have been so afraid to step out of either 'auto' or 'no flash' but now after watching your video I feel much more confident. Thank you for posting!

[@laurenceofgarfield9899]

Thanks Tony and Chelsea, I think this video is great for me as a beginner in photography. I thought I was only going to be using the camera on Auto mode until you explained how much this magnificent piece of equipment can do.Once again, thank you.

[@boyxx001]

Tony Northrup your explanations and walkthroughs are second to none; evidence of a true professional how-to author. After being on the fence for a new DSLR for casual photos and the occasional portrait shoot, it was this tutorial that convinced me the D5300 was perfect for my needs. Oh and I just purchased your three books. Tip of my hat to you, sir. Cam

[@luispestana3460]

Fantastic explanation. I feel like a professional already. Many thanks.

[@FozziesRandomReviews]

You sir are a great photographer AND businessman. Your book is very good! I'm reading it now while I wait for my D5300 to arrive.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

FRR Thanks!

[@robertbrumbaugh4634]

This is a fantastic tutorial video. I tried to learn everything from reading the manual which came with the camera, but your explanations are easier to understand. After using the D5300 for several years, you showed me several things I didn't know. Thanks. I just got a smartphone (I'm 73) and now I can send photos right away instead of having to go home to use my computer. I sent this link to my email so I can refer to it on the go.

[@DanSussman]

Just upgraded to a D5300, and this is an EXCELLENT quick overview to the camera's functions. It got me up and running very quickly. Thanks much.

Hi Tony . I just received my new D5300 today and I was so excited to get it , but after I received it , I started to be panicked and upset as I realized I had no idea how to use it , and no one to ask. I started research on you tube as the guide manual seemed hard to understood by me and then I finally saw your video. I believe this was the most useful video for the beginners I could find . Thank you for your work . Also I need to say I am a bit relived as I see other people having the same problems as I do , and this makes me not feel so dumb anymore . :) Thanks again , you provided us great help

[@TonyAndChelsea]

andreea parrvu Glad I could help!

[@bolt339]

Excellent overview , i thought i had my heart set on a Nikon D7100 , however after seeing this Nikon D5300 and the price difference , i may have to rethink my choice.Thanks for the upload.

[@michaeledmonds3027]

I just stumbled across your excellent tutorial on the D5300. Thank you so much! I'm a LONG time pro news/magazine shooter and just picked up a used D5300 and 18-140 lens for a light weight vacation rig. My pro Nikons are better weather sealed and faster to use, but I appreciate how handy the D5300 is. I especially like the flip & rotation ability of the display screen. There are some weird button combinations on this camera, but like you said, set things up and leave them alone. You have a very smooth and professional delivery as a teacher. Thanks again for the thorough tutorial. Michael

We've just purchased a Nikon d5300 & been looking at various videos but none were that great - UNTIL we came across yours. Your video(s) is/are THE TOPS. Love the way you explain what everything is & how it works, also talking the time to zoom into the various buttons/wheels showing us where they are. BRILLIANT - Thank you. Have also just purchased your book (the kindle version). Looking forward to going through everything in more detail.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks, Karen! Enjoy it!

[@jrbagtas1]

tutorial video's bore me, but i have to watch it. BUT! this one i actually enjoyed. very clear and concise, thank you sir.

[@KanoDailyThePhilippinesandMore]

Good point about setting the time! I was in the Philippines getting married in December. I had already left my D5300 with my wife last summer, but I forgot to reset on my camcorder when I was there. Fun when the software files them by date and you are 13 hours off...

[@kirankankipati-thelinuxcha689]

Tony Thanks a lot for that wonderful video. You covered almost entire camera manual in just one video. I am buying this camera specifically for video and ofcourse once in a while for photos for semi-professional use. Your video helped me a lot. Great Job !!

[@RWJonesAIC]

Tony, I just want to compliment you on your work. It's a great service for the amateur photographer. I bought your books and watch your tutorial series online a lot. I finally upgraded to the D5300. Without the background of your tutorials I probably would have spent way too much on bodies and lenses. This sensor is probably all I'll ever need. I get great, clear, colorful, and sharp images. All your stuff is great for learning the technical as well as artistic aspects of photography. I'm a big fan. Thanks, Richard

I have to agree with Heidi below, this is a great video. I'm not at all trolling you at all, but maybe splitting this into a few different subjects so we can go to one quickly would be great. I refer back to this when i want to do something I forgot, but have to scan through it to find what I'm looking for. Liked and subbed!

[@malcolmwickham8993]

Hi Tony, Bought your book Stunning Digital Photography and it's amazing. I can't believe it also included this - an instructional video on my first DSLR camera! Thanks for all the work you put in. I'd recommend the book to anyone as it's a first-class course on photography. It's taking me as a relative beginner on an incredible photography journey that I don't believe I'd get at any university. Thank you!

[@marcmiles6709]

Had this camera a year now. Watched loads of videos o how to shoot lightning storms with no luck. Just watched the first 20 mins and I reckon now I could have another go. Thank you for keeping things basic to amatures like me can understand.

Thank you so much tony for explaining so well. Very informative video. I have just upgraded my Nikon d3200 to the d5300 and after buying the kit, I have also purchased a nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens to accompany the body. I am very pleased with the results. Keep up the excellent work. I will be purchasing your excellent book from amazon in the near future. Jon

Great video. I just bought the D5300 & 18-55mm lens. Got a great price on Amazon, about $1000 with a 16GB SD card. Not bad. This video taught me just about everything I need to get going in one sitting. I live in NYC and there's just so much to shoot I had to get a decent camera. I wish all videos were as well done as this. Not overly explained & no talking just to hear yourself. Thanks a lot for the help. I'll definitely be getting the book as well.

I got my D5300 for Christmas and i've watched this video a couple of times already. I'm working through your book and still learning the ropes. Photography is something i've always been interested in but this is the first big DSLR camera i've ever had. I used a kodak easy share 5MP camera for years. Thanks you so much for all the information you share through your videos and your book. My next purchase will be lightroom and your book on it as well.

I just received one of these cameras for work and I learned so much from this video. This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Probably the best photography related video. Very well done. I admire your patience. 😊

[@stuartblack1999]

this was a great help, set up my camera whilst watching the tutorial, then went straight on to amazon and ordered your book! keep up the good work :)

I wish I had watched this before my trip across the country and the National Parks. Easy to understand. You have a great way of presenting information. I am a subscriber now. Thank you!

I am happy to know that there are people so dedicated to make such a detailed video. I loved it and it helped me a lot, thank you very much!

Hi Mr. Northup - Thank you so much for this video! I bought a D5300 over two months ago simply because I originally liked that it had a red casing. LOL. I ended up buying one with a black casing (long story) and have been terrified to begin using it. Your video was THE BEST! It was so easy to learn just the basics so it doesn't feel so intimidating to get started now.

Great video! I just got my Nikon d5300 the other day and wanted to make sure I get to know my camera more and you're video really helped!

[@manalrefaat1665]

This is one of the most professional videos I have ever watched, very informative, I've learned a lot, thanks for your effort

[@stephaniebarela1472]

This video was a great help! I just purchased the Nikon 5300 (up from a Canon Rebel T5), I was aware of everything it did from the description when I was researching what to buy, but had no idea how to use them all. Thank you for making this video! Next purchase, your book.

[@watcher7793]

This was honestly one of the best tutorials I have ever watched!

[@InsufficientSleep]

Thank's this is AWESOME. I just upgraded from my old Sony compact camera to this camera. I have been reading the manual and i have been looking around online trying to understand everything. Your video was by far the best. Nikon should have a link to this channel in their manual. I still dont get all the stuff about the exposure triangle and stops but i get there one day hopefully .........
