Thank you Ser Bronn of the blackwater
I did my first photo shoot recently and chose Aperture priority. These modes are wonderful! When I do action shots I will definitely use Shutter priority!
Yep, priority modes can be extremely useful, thanks for the support.
thank you for helping me understand the buttons and what they do.
you speak clearly and with the right volume. thanks, I learn something new today
Appreciate your feedback, thank you very. much for watching and supporting my channel.

Thank you sir😊
I'm almost done watching all your videos!!! I found you about a week and a half ago. Just wanted you let you know, I absolutely love the way you teach. I've learned so, going to do the challenges soon.
Thank you so much for this clear/concise video. Watched the exposure compensation video as well. Subscribed and found you on IG!
Thank you Paul. I really like your teaching methods. Always clear and concise. Great series of videos. Have watched a lot of yours, and learned a lot in the process. Keep up the excellent work. 😊👍🏼
Thank you so much, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos - lots more coming...
Paul @ Photo Genius
Hi Paul ... I wondered as this is quite an old video, if you still get alerts for comments. I have a situation that happened last weekend which I'd appreciate your thoughts about. I'm very NOT a professional photographer and I have a Canon EOS RP. Really good and clear explanation as always. Cheers, Mike
I get to see every single comment posted, however unlike in the earlier days I am unable to reply to as many as I would like - what is your question?
@@photogenius Thanks Paul .. I was wondering which mode you might walk around with your camera set to ... for example (sorry it's a bit long) my wife and I went for a walk along a trail that we have walked often and which we've never really seen any wildlife on ... like ever! I had my camera with me and as we entered the woods, which are pine trees and fairly light with the obvious shadowing, I took a couple of photos to set the settings so I could get the light about right in case I saw something on a tree etc ... we set off and a little way in there was a small group of athletes doing some sprint training on the soft ground with their coach. We walked past as they were taking a short break and as we got to the end of their 60 metre mark I heard them start to sprint, first one and then the second .. I turned, pressed the autofocus and snapped each of them. The photos were ok, not too dark but I'd set the shutter at 100 (it was a canon 50mm) and apperture at f8 with ISO on auto, so as you might expect there was blurring on the legs and pumping arms, but their torsos and heads were fairly sharp. OK .. .so the problem was I didn't know which setting to quickly change and was about to change shutter speed but realised it would be too dark and I had around 3 seconds to make the first decision and then another 3 or 4 for the second photo, the problem being of course the time I had to make the decision. So, after all that, if you were walking through an ok-ish light and hoping to be able to react to something, what mode would you have your camera in?
The best teaching videos well explained thank you Paul
I love all your videos!
Thanks 😃
Re: shooting in TV (canon), would you use an “auto” for your ISO or would you always pic an ISO for the shot? Thanks in advance, Jim in San Diego Calif.
I'm going to try Tv mode from tomorrow, thank you for making this video sir.
Very nice explained. Thank you. Subscribed as well.
Hei same like here.. when i bought my first nikon. Im using shutter priority too for daily. Till now ^^^ except for special night photography. Full manually
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Love your videos! Awesome job
Thank you and thanks for watching.
I also love shutter mode. Especially capturing birds, manual mode is irritating and sometimes focusing and exposure problem araising. I missed many beautiful bird shots when shooting manual mode. So I Changed to shutter mode and taking images.
Initially, 1/320 speed I set. But focusing issues and images are mostly under exposed. Changing to 1/1000 leads aperture not suitable. No other way. So I Boost ISO from 100 to 3200. After that somewhat managed. Around 80 images were shot, sadly 4 images are properly exposed (that images' are very nice after croping and editing).
First time I captured fastly moving birds. Really interesting and thrilling.
Yep, Manual can be tricky when moving the camera to follow a subject - I agree that shutter priority is a great mode 😀
Great explanation!
You are really genius
☺️ Thank you.
Thanks a lot
Good explained. Thank you .
How do you stop condensation and fung. Getting into your camera and lenses. Do you have any Diy ideas? Where can you buy airtight containers. For camera and lens together? Larger
A very good video. Thank you. That has helped me a lot.
Glad to be of help - thank you for watching, please consider subscribing - new videos weekly.
I have subscribed. Your videos are brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Thank you once again.
i'm so glad i've found your videos (i started with charlie & dolly). i learned a lot. very well & clearly presented! thank you for posting 🙂
You are welcome, thanks for watching. Charlie and Dolly say hi.
🐶🐶
Please tell us in Nikon camera about clicking the morning sunrise and ISO; and to click a morning scenery having fog and dew drops and how much shutter speed I should maintain.
I always waiting for your new video's
New video coming soon (currently on holiday).
Now that we know the basics of , aperture , shutter and iso , could help in giving us example of how to use them . Like when we should use high aperture , high iso or low shutter speed . So that we could imbibe them when we take our photos
I'm so glad I found this video! I shoot jiu jitsu and MMA photography and it's a huge pain when the light changes from. One end of the room to the other. Question... Do I turn off auto ISO? What about white balance?
Thank you. This is interesting and useful information.
Thank you for watching.
Hello Paul...Jerry here...Just now watching the video of Shutter Priority. I shoot with the Canon 90d using one of three lens. the 24-105/the 18-35 or the 100-400. I might even use a 50mm. but my question is....In TV Mode on the camera with the shutter speed of 1/100 as suggested in video or 1/1600 as i saw in another video, is the lens then set in AF mode so it continues to focus and can the AF mode be set to HS continuous? I have loved the videos you put out and wished when i was working in PNG, that i had the time to come to you is AUS to do one of the walking photo lessons. Thank you for the reply
Hi Jerome.
Auto Focus mode works independently of shutter speed. So (if I understand the question correctly), yes you can use whatever shutter speed you like, you can set the AF to whichever mode you like (One Shot, AI-Servo or MF) and you can also set the Drive mode to continuous.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the reply. You cleared up a big question i had in reference to TV mode. The information about the lens setting was great as well. Happy shooting Paul
Thanks so much great info
Fantastic and thank you.
Thank you Joe 😀
Great video! But your audio in your studio needs improvement
Yep, audio in my earlier videos was not great - this has now been fixed. Thanks for watching.
Paul, Enjoyed the video! What mode is good for landscapes?
Great insight. Ty.
Hi Sir, I am new to DSLR and just gotten my Nikon D3400. May I know more about depth of fields? And how to take a photo with clear subject but very blur background?
For blurry backgrounds (shallow depth of field) watch this : ua-cam.com/video/zGzOpHpukrY/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Hello, I am new to all this and I just got a Nikon D3500 camera kit, which I am very excited to use. My main interest is taking great photographs of my children and family. I want to take nice indoor photos using natural light and I also plan to set up an indoor area to take photos with using artificial lighting with soft boxes and such. Can you please give me some recommendations of what settings to set my camera on in order to get some crisp, clear but blurred background portrait photos. THANK YOU!
Firstly thanks for watching my video Kimberley - I appreciate the support.
I often get asked the questions "What settings should I use" so let's address this one first.
The camera settings you use will be based largely on how much light is available at the time, so for example if you take a photo in your kitchen in the middle of the day, then a photo in the late afternoon in the same space the settings will be different because the light would have changed. It is therefor impossible to give you exact settings but I can make some recommendations...
My first recommendation is to start using the cameras Manual modes, and a good one to start you off would be aperture priority (A) on the camera mode dial.
Watch my videos on Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO so you get a good understanding of the features and how to use them.
For blurry backgrounds you will need to understand 'Depth of field' - of course I've published a video on this and I hope it helps you : ua-cam.com/video/z-XZqLGu9Hk/v-deo.html
The key is to keep practising - no one becomes a pro overnight, so take lots of photos, make mistakes and learn from them and have fun with your new camera.

I did a shoot at a surf spot half a mile out to sea from land with a 300ml lens and monopod in shutter priority in good light.I chose 1/1000 shutter speed/auto iso and only one sequence of my shoots came out sharp.I was very dissapointed as this spot only has good conditions once a year or so.I had the camera image stabilzation on which was wrong i think
and my monopod was a bit lighweight i think,i feel like the camera could have been sturdier.What do you think i could have done to get better results?
Hi, Paul. Great videos as always. I'm curious... a lot of cameras you are showing how to use look to have some sort of glass element on their ends. Is this for the lens protection, or are they polarizers? If it's a polarizer, do you leave them on all the time? When are they taken off? I tried to use one at the beach with my nephew, but all the photos came out rather dark and out of focus.
Paul: You increased the ISO because you didn't want to increase the shutter speed because the shutter speed was your priority, correct?
Decrease the shutter speed. One would increase the Aperature opening with a fixed (set) shutter speed when you needed more light. Or, you'd raise the gain on your i.s.o. to a higher number.
How to used shutter speed on autofocus and on a canon eos rebel xti camera
Trying tot take sports football photos at high school at night ..lights seem bright but photos are blurry please tell me what to set it on ..I'm using the TV mode on my Canon EOS Rebel XSi it's old but it's all I have ..this is for my grandson's scrapbook ..help me please !
so when taking pictures in the day time and also at night i need to use the tv and av mode cause i want my pictures to be nice and solid. i want my night pictures to be way better than what i'm doing right now. my camera is 14 years old and i want to learn how to take great pictures i don't think i want to buy a very expensive camera but maybe later on down the road but when i do i want to get a nice camera with a higher mega pixel. but for right now i want to master this camera and all the techniques that comes with this skill i took some very nice pictures but i need to get the night time thing under control ya see
how much use do you get out of the canon 1300d and what do you think of it pros and cons, i have the d3400 but am also thinking of getting a canon maybe get the best of both worlds.
The 1300D is a good camera. It makes more sense to stay with one camera manufacturer I think, invest in lenses is good advice.
Paul
Don't know why. I do the same settings as you and the aperture stays at F5 on my Canon T6.
After I take picture on Canon 80d in TV mode, I cannot change settings it asks to enable or disable & I’m not sure. I quickly change to AV then back to TV& only then can I change settings why is this?
Just a mom who wants to take good pics of gymnastics competitions with a Nikon D7200. Any advice? Thank you! :) Really enjoyed the video!
Here's my recommendation for you.
Assuming the event is indoors and the light is not good.
Camera in S mode (Shutter priority)
Set shutter to 1/500
Set ISO to 1600
Camera will adjust aperture (f number for you)
Experiment with faster shutter speeds if light allows.
Also watch these two videos re focusing
How to focus on a moving subject :ua-cam.com/video/QmS6IhqMQ7A/v-deo.html
How to control focus points : ua-cam.com/video/98J200KEPog/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much. Oh, and I have one question. How do you get the whole background and foreground in complete focus, especially if there is something in front of what you are trying to take a photograph of?
the teen art channel make the aperture smaller, so make the f number larger
Tristan Stocker thank you so much.
Awsome
May I ask about FPS, but not with video. Some cameras have a very high FPS for shooting birds. Canon 80 d only has 10 FPS. Not many when I’m trying to shoot birds in flight. How can I increase this number?
No the frames per second is set, you cannot increase. Of course how fast your shutter is opening and closing will impact the speed - so the faster the shutter the better for birds in flight.
how does a Nikon D3400 compare to say an iphone x ? is it worth picking up this model or would i be best going for more higher end model?
Well sadly you can't make phone calls on the D3400!! BUT because the sensor is much larger in a DSLR compared to any smartphone the image quality will be much better, especially in low light. Of course the more "high end" the camera the better the functions and untimely the image quality, but the D3400 is a great place to start.
I love my iPhone and take photos with it everyday, but a DSLR camera will beat it in terms of quality and flexibility - just make sure you stay out of Auto, watch lots of my videos and learn how to get the most from it.
Best wishes, Paul @ Photo Genius 😀
Superb👍👍👍
Thanks Amal, much appreciated - thanks for watching 😀
When using AP I’ve been told you need only to pic your F stop. ISO shutter speed is done for you. (your vid) Using TV you had your iso set to 400. Why didn’t you have set your iso if you ISO auto?
Hi. So I took photos last weekend of my son's football game. I did use the TV mode on my Canon, but turned up my shutter speed to 1250. What I noticed when I got home and looked at the information about all of my photos is that it didn't take the photos at 1250 speed - even though I had it set at 1250 - it automatically decided to take them at different speeds ranging from 400-600 and the aperture around 5 and 400 iso. This was a very sunny day, so I was confused as to why it did that. Any suggestions?
Hello what about the lens Auto focus or Manual?.
Photo Genius, what shutter speed do you use for your son's soccer games? Hand held, what is the slowest speed you would use?
For soccer I aim for a minimum of 1/2000 sec, but faster if the light is good enough.
@@photogenius Thank you very much. Your tutorials are very informative!
Can I set to auto ISO when in shutter priority?
Absolutely 👍
I’ve yet to buy a dslr but I have a Sony rx100 which has all the features I believe ? Should I upgrade or will this be good enough as a starter ? Money tight at the moment
Whilst the RX100 may not have as many features as a larger DSLR style camera, it is the ideal camera to get you started as it has the essential manual functions that will allow you to start experimenting.
Enjoy your camera and thanks for the support.
When I use shutter priority, it only adjust aperture, iso stays the same
Good sir
Thank you.
Sweet video!
I've been using the "Sports" mode for pictures of insects (while waiting for primarily butterflies to bask their wings), and a few birdies.
I'll certainly have to try out S-mode next time, indeed, it seems so easy and simple after watching your video
Thanks for watching. I'm planning a Macro video soon so please consider subscribing so you don't miss out!!
Already subbed, and huge thanks for the heads up - Can't wait to see the video ^^
Absolutely loved this short video. I'm a mobile studio photographer (taking photos of preschool children), however due to COVID 19 I've recently had to switch to outdoor family photography. I tried AV mode on my Canon 90D, however I've been getting a few blurred photos, so will switching to TV mode (shutter priority) work better for me ?
I've been watching a whole lot of DSLR camera videos but on the flip side I don't have a DSLR 😥 and I can't even afford one...
how to capture fast subjects like running people,jumping how how??
As the video suggest, start with Shutter priority mode and select a fast shutter speed to freeze the movement. Keep watching the videos, learning and practising.
Thanks for watching.
I have a nikon 7100,, im in srilanka,, i compare with my camera photo with canon camera photos,, why nikon photos are dark and no sharp and beautiful,, but canon photos very sharp and colorfull
Without k knowing anything about the camera settings or modes you are using I cannot comment on why you're getting poor images from the Nikon. I use both Canon and Nikon cameras and they can all take great photos if set up and used correctly.
U'r a photo genius indeed! I just want to ask what's the difference between shutter priority mode and auto focus mode in shooting moving subject? Whats the best mode in shooting a dance event? Thanks!
Hopefully this video may help : ua-cam.com/video/VIBePcT-bes/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching.
i thought ISO is also changing by itself when in shutter priority mode, oh well
Depending on the camera and settings ISO may be changed by the camera. This feature can be turned off.
That's if your camera is set to auto iso
