      Your tutorials are so perfect. They are so good for the beginner. My dad who can hardly figure out his cell phone, can easily follow your videos. Keep it up..... Ahem, wtf dude? I mean the videos.

      Thank you! Do you or anyone else know of any camera control software (Windows) that has already been updated to work with the D3500? Cannot find any solution (digicamcontrol, NCCP2, Capture1, etc are all incompatible, and they seem to update only ever 6 or 12 months).

      Good news! Smart Shooter 3 works with D3500 - see kuvacode.com/

  • @robertgreenhouse
    @robertgreenhouse 5 років тому +6

    Very considerate of you to take the time to point out how you would set up the camera as a professional vs how a beginner might most comfortably set up and use it - a video which does not talk down to the beginner. Thank you.

    Oh my gosh THANK YOU FOR THIS! I received this for Christmas and was thoroughly convinced I was stupid... UNTIL I found this. I still have a lot to learn but now I don’t feel so overwhelmed.
    I had one of the original Nikon SLR film cameras which I used for years and someone stole it. It was all metal... heavy sucker... but it took great photos. Years later my husband bought me this I am so excited. Thank you again !

    @jhar_80 4 роки тому +2

    Thank you for this video. There are so many "photography bros" out there. None of them compare to the way you are able to speak to the average noob (like myself) needing a little inspiration and encouragement to make the leap from our cellphone cameras.
    I followed this walkthrough for the D3500 step by step. I'm really excited to get into Manual mode asap! Mom was a Photographer's Mate in the Navy back in the 70's. I don't want her to think I'm a poser always using Auto!
    Anyway, thanks again! I'm now about to go through the low-light action guide so that I can begin to capture some good basketball photos of my son!

    I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this amazing camara. Thank you so much for helping us who have clue what we are doing.....this is like taking a 1980 "Frogger" and trying to explain the latest PS5?? is that right? Not sure. I am blown away at the quality of this camera, all I can do is put it on "auto" and hope for the best. And even though I do that, the picture quality is amazing, and I can only image what a pro can do with this camera. If you are a novice, this camera is very intimidating. But this guy will help you and that is awesome and we newbies thank you!

    This video helped a lot!! This is my second camera but I used to shoot with a Canon Rebel T3 and so when I switched to Nikon all the settings were different and how to change things is different. I couldn't figure out how to change ISO!! So this video helped so much in understanding the settings and how this camera functions.

    I am really enjoying the way you explain how to work my camera.
