Man, you save my life with this video. There isn't something like this in spanish, but you speak so clear that i can understand all. Excelente work, i send you a virtual hug from Argentina! Sorry my english.
I bought my Nikon D3500 a couple of days ago and this is my first full size digital camera. I had a look at the owners manual which didn't show much, looked all over You Tube and picked up a little here and there. Then I found this video and it explained everything in detail, this is the most informative video around, thank you for taking the time to show me how to operate the Nikon D3500.
Michael, I am a student studying digital cinematography and your video has taught me more about exposure, and taking a properly lit photograph, than a whole month in school. You are a really good teacher, I hope you know this. Thank you.
I just got my first D3500 this Christmas and it's going to be my first DSLR!! Thank you for the useful tips and tricks on how to use this freaking awesome camera!!
As a real estate agent, I rely on professional photographers to capture the beauty of a property I am selling. Knowing that I also have an intense desire to learn photography, my wife got me the D3500 for Christmas. Best present ever!! Plus she figured eventually I can stop paying others for doing something I enjoy doing anyway. Smart woman... While the camera's functions seem to be overwhelming, Michael laid out a very detailed, easy-to-follow beginner's tutorial that put me at ease. Had to rewind a few spots to grasp the concept or item being covered, but overall learned a lot from the tutorial. I am now looking forward to infusing myself with more knowledge to fully take advantage of the camera and start capturing life in moments in time.
I'm about as beginner as they come, but I wanted a nice, entry-level dslr to take nice photos of my newborn daughter. I was SO intimidated when this camera came in and I saw all these buttons and settings that I was absolutely clueless about. This video SERIOUSLY got rid of all of that anxiety and now I am so comfortable with this camera! It's so informative and easy to follow along.
I bought the Nikon D3500 2 days back and I can say I'm pretty confident now in operating it. Thanks to your video which explained all the intricate details.
OMG!!! How one can leave the video without taking a few seconds to appreciate you. You must have great patience and passion to explain even minute things. Great work!
Thank you Michael, That's explained so much about my D3500 that no amount of reading the manual would of solved. I've already benefited from your excellent, clear and concise advise - Thank you again.
Just picked up my early Christmas present that being a Nikon D3500, it’s my first ever DSLR, and this video is incredibly helpful, thank you soo much!!!
This tutorial is truly amazing!!! I`m a beginner and just bought this camera and filling overwhelming with a lot of settings.... I have learned a lot from this video not only about the camera but tips and tricks of how to make photos !!!
The best tutorial ever. The model for tutorials. If I ever decide to do tutorials, I will "seek inspiration" from each and every method you use. Gave me more info than a dozen manuals and quite a few years of fumbling around and flailing. Thanks.
I'm so happy I found your video. I just got this camera today. my very first DSLR camera and how you walked through everything and explained everything is helping me so much
I'm getting this camera to replace a balky D3300. This video is really terrific. It beats every manual or video instruction I employed for the D3300. I never understood the AE-L/AF-L button until viewing this video. Thanks so much.
I am getting this camera in a few weeks and know nothing. Your channel and blog, and books, and all of your instructional material are going to be great resources. Thank you so much for this from a new subscriber !!!
Micheal thanks for your effort I didn't know how to use a nikon3500 but now soon am opening up my photo studio business keep up Micheal God bless you brother.
Everything I wanted explained in 104.25 mins. Thanks a lot mike. So far I thought that I had a mediocre camera. Now I know that it is no less than a good one.
Thank you! You helped a dude that learned to shoot pictures on analog bodies to understand his awesome new digital toy. I was totally overwhelmed with all the options on this thing, and now I understand it a whole lot better. Still have to learn that I do not have to choose the film for what I want to do and stick to (and hope the results devolop out nice), but change it on the spot. I'll take this instruction to heart and probably shoot some awesome pics tomorrow.
I've been using two normal slr's and a decent digital point and shoot camera for a long time. To long. I can't believe what this camera can do. It's amazing.
I was trying to figure out all of these amazing information alone because I just bought myself this camera. I want to thank you very much! Your help is uncountable. You just earned a new subscriber passionate with photography! Keep up mate!
Thank you so so much! This was so incredible. I got my camera 5 years ago and I haven't been using it to its capability. This is the exact video I was looking for.
Great work Michael! I know how much work it is making video lessons and this was probably a monster to create. In 1 hour 44 min. I got my new D3500 set up similar to how my D300 was, and learned a bunch of new stuff. Again, many thanks!
Thank you so much for this! I am a complete beginner and this video is exactly what I need. This must have taken so much work to put together so I want you to know you are appreciated!!
By far the best tutorial I've found for someone completely new to dslr and the nikon d3500. I just got my first dslr for fathers day this vid was the best help I could find so thank you for sharing it. I look forward to your others.
Michael, I am soooooo glad that I found this video to help me figure out what I'm doing with the D3500 which I just bought today. Your work on this is so very much appreciated. Many thanks!!
Thank you very much Michael... I realize this video has been out for a few years now but we're super grateful for having stumbled onto it. Our son is taking a photography course in his second semester of grade 12 and we purchased him this exact camera. Super impressed with this tutorial!!! This will without question give him some great essential fundamentals to help him succeed... Very much looking forward to any other tutorials you've shared.
I have been shooting with a D3400 for 18 months and this tutorial is very useful for an improver and I have only reached 41:10. Very good on white balance and for an understanding of colour temperature. It's not too technical but Michael does know you need to understand the theory to get good pictures.
Excellent camera! My wife and I just bought the D3500 as a "kit" and it came with the 18-55mm lens and 70-300mm zoom lens, and even a 64GB memory card!
Fantastic guide and extra detail I really appreciated! Thanks so much for this depth of info -- it literally applies to almost all Nikon DSLRs generically, with the primary exception being that different series of cameras have buttons in different locations (left vs. right, etc.), though they basically function the same. I used the info I learned here to master my D60, then bought a D3400 and now feel comfortable and competent using Aperture and Manual modes, thanks to your very detailed explanations of how to use and adjust the functions in each mode. This was the absolute best video I've found on mastering the basics of controlling your camera! Awesome job Michael.
This was amazing! Thank you so much. I got a D3500 as I want to get into cameras and had read some but this tied everything together way more than I could have hoped!
amazing video my d3500 came today and iv watched this video step by step to set my camera up and im new to this honestly amazing step by step thank you x
Wow, what a teacher, what a "review"! Seriously you should write the user manuals for Nikon. The one that comes with this camera is more a flyer. Your video is awesome. I understood how to use this camera I just bought. Thanks a lot!
Finally, a common-sense-feet-on-the-ground motivated tutorial for a trully entry level camera. With all the Gear Aquisition Syndrome infecting everyone, we have come to believe that 2000+ USD body only cameras are ment for every beginner and simple enthusiast out there and 1500+ are a friggin bargain! Relax people, take photos and WHEN you start exhausting the capabilities of a machine, THEN go for something higher spec...
It's overwhelming for a beginner like me. So many lens's and filters and accessories. Stuff I will likely never use. I opted for the D3500 AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Kit. I don't even know what all of that means either. LOL
What a great video. I got this camera for Christmas but due to lockdowns and me shielding due to being high risk, I’ve only been messing about with it in the house or garden. This video helped me so much in learning what it can actually do and I’m looking forward to getting it outside properly. Up to now, I’ve only really used a phone for taking pictures. Thanks again
This really helps a lot! I just bought d3500 planning to start in photography and make it a business but only understand a little bit from watching other videos.but this video is superb amazing.i really love the way how you explain every details!a great help for a beginner like me..❤😍please make more videos! Thankyou Godbless
I have to thank you for giving me that AHA moment. I had a Nikon d35mm in my early 20's and was a pretty decent photographer. Now in my late 50's, I am learning digital photography with a Nikon d3500. I have watched other videos regarding this camera, but your explanation helped me cross over and understand better.
WOW! Congratulations, Mike, you explain everything so well! And is something is unclear, one just pauses and goes back! Just bought the camera, now I know how to use it and can practice effectively! THANKS!
Hi there, it is a clear and straightforward approach. I appreciate your willingness of sharing knowledge with all of us 😀. Now I'm ready to get out the best of this camera thanks to you.
I was thinking of getting this camera, and this really helped! This answered any questions that I could think of. At first glance, the deep menu was kind of intimidating for me, as I'm an amateur, but it really makes a lot of sense now
Dede if you're serious ...pick another camera. This one has a couple glaring weaknesses. Try doing remote astrophotography and you hit a brick wall. If you're not taking long exposures of the night sky its a great little camera and the video it does is good. I bought one for astrophotography tho. Oops.
Wow. Thank you. I sat through your tutorial two hours straight. Great content in detail and concise presentation. I also appreciated your final suggestions on lenses. I was thinking about purchasing 35mm DX lens for my new D3500. Now, I am leaning toward 50mm FX lens for indoor portrait photography and for future upgrade to FX camera consideration. Thank you.
Thank you soo much for doing this. I just bought the D3500 n almost returned it because I thought it was too complicated to use until I watched your video in fact I was trying to download it to my phone therefore I really appreciate again you doing this your video really helped me a lot and I will be watching it several times Sincerely~ Stephanie
I just bought this camera, thanks allot for the video.. It really helped me and my pictures are (from my point of view) pretty decent already.. Even though i'm new to photography.
thank you very much your tutorial is very enlightening! I picked this camera up today and this actually helped me very much, super simple to undersand and in depth. Thank you :)
Thank you, Michael. Will be starting a digital photography course for Summer session at college and needed to know how to set up and use my new Nikon D3500 so that I'll be ready to process RAW pictures for use in my animation backgrounds. Really enjoyed this video and will watch it over and over throughout this summer, until I'm familiar with the camera, set up, directing good shots and playing around with the different types of lighting, angles and at least, general composition. Too bad I came a couple years too late to get in on the Sony giveaway, but that's only worth $2k and the knowledge imparted is actually priceless, so it's still a huge win! ☺☺
My partner just surprised me with this beaut and I could not be more thrilled!!!! Except I was once I came across your video on how to utilize it 😉 thank you!!🍍
Thank you very much, Michael, for sharing your knowledge. I will say, you are my photographic guru. Clear English and well explained! Thanks again, Cheers!
Last SLR was Canon A-1. (In-between digitals were point & shoot and Androids.) This is my first DSLR! Excellent tutorial for translating SLR to digital. Was always a shutter-priority type of person but am open to exploring aperture priority. Don't want to start shooting until I know how to control camera. This is very helpful info Adequate details but not dumbed down. Thanks!
40:09 start here [he will go over everything he just said in better detail and gloss over minor stuff but you can still watch it from the start again but this time stamp is a good starting point for the video] No offense but you was jumping all over the place and I was confused. But as soon as you appeared in front of the camera and showing how things are hands on... i understood it better. At 1 33 00 I understood how I wanted my photos to appear in low light [since I like doing urban night photography]. Still not done with the video. But thank you for the time and effort you put into the video. Thank you
Man, you save my life with this video. There isn't something like this in spanish, but you speak so clear that i can understand all. Excelente work, i send you a virtual hug from Argentina! Sorry my english.

Do you recommend using aperture priority until I get more comfortable using the camera?
Thanks Michael for the wonderful course.
Loads of very helpful information to be able to USE the camera!
Thank you so much for this tutorial Michael now I can set up the menu the way you described.
Thanks for this!!! I'm only half way thru the video, but I can't wait until all this is second nature!

My partner just surprised me with this beaut and I could not be more thrilled!!!! Except I was once I came across your video on how to utilize it 😉 thank you!!🍍
Let's see. Read the 350 page manual, or hey, there's this really fantastic video. The manual can wait. Great video. Thank you.
Awesome job, mate! Thank you so much for your help! Merry Christmas and God bless!
Amazing tutorial ! Easy step by step. Top notch!
Thank you very much, Michael, for sharing your knowledge. I will say, you are my photographic guru. Clear English and well explained! Thanks again, Cheers!
Excellent tutorial for the beginners.
Last SLR was Canon A-1. (In-between digitals were point & shoot and Androids.)
This is my first DSLR!
Excellent tutorial for translating SLR to digital.
Was always a shutter-priority type of person but am open to exploring aperture priority.
Don't want to start shooting until I know how to control camera. This is very helpful info
Adequate details but not dumbed down. Thanks!
Thankyou for your presentation sir..🙏❤️ Love from India ♥️✨
40:09 start here [he will go over everything he just said in better detail and gloss over minor stuff but you can still watch it from the start again but this time stamp is a good starting point for the video]
No offense but you was jumping all over the place and I was confused. But as soon as you appeared in front of the camera and showing how things are hands on... i understood it better. At 1 33 00 I understood how I wanted my photos to appear in low light [since I like doing urban night photography]. Still not done with the video. But thank you for the time and effort you put into the video. Thank you
this was awesome. thank you for taking the time to do it
Thank you so much! I've been fighting with my camera to change the iso and other things. omg! my camera makes sense now!!!
So glad to hear it
