I've been shooting video forever. Until recently, I've only used cameras with fixed lenses. While I understand that all of this applies to those cameras as well, when I purchased the Sony FX3, I knew I had to start to truly understand this stuff. This was the only video that made any of this truly make sense to me. Everyone else I watched said the same stuff, but for some reason, it just clicked when you said it. Well done! Liked and subscribed. Al the best to you.
I love how this video was structured, made it easy to follow and take notes (exposure control -> mechanics -> what it's measured in -> different values & their results + when to use) super concise
Very clear, with great visual support of your script. I teach Media and Film. Every year I get some new students in Film who have not studied Media with me (and thus need to quickly learn things like this over the summer) This is now my go-to video to send them to. Excellent job :)
Being a long time very seasoned photographer this video is a good way to put it. Also a good point that whether slow shutter speed is good or bad depends on the effect you WANT, and not only on if or not the subject is moving. It may be kind of a lot to process for any photography newbies. But seems fairly processable for photography newbies.
This video was very well made and you laid it out well. I would have added that it is best to not touch either side of the histogram and maybe elaborate more on being more in the middle as the general guideline as that's what tripped me up when I was a beginner. But you did clarify that it is okay to be at either ends. Thank you for making the video.
Thank you for making this video, I had to watch a different video on the same topic for school and it was 20 min long and super boring with no visuals.... needless to say, I learned twice as fast with watching yours. Thank you again.
Thank you for posting this video, although I believe I just started on the incorrect format. I recently was given a 35mm camera and have no idea how to use it. I'm looking through videos to educate myself on how to use with all those settings without wasting too much film and I stumbled upon your video. It was very easy to follow and to the point. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you for super clear explanation, love it ❤ It's rare for me to subscribing based on first content, but anyway, I meant it as an acknowledgment to you 👍
Howdy and thanks! This is super helpful. Surely the best explanation of the basics I've seen. Now, if only you had a vid about the histogram you referred to.
Thank you this was so nicely explained. I will look for any lesson you have on how you actually coordinate each part of the triangle in a practical situation.
I like this vedio. I am also a beginner. This video was very well made and you laid it out well. I would have added that it is best to not touch either side of the histogram. But You did clarify that it is okay to be at either ends. Thank you for making the video.
Nice and clear. It avoided the confusion I find in many other sources which say that shutter speed and exposure time 'mean the same thing.' While they're obviously related, the relationship is an *inverse* one. If they were 'the same thing,' then increasing one would mean increasing the other, same for decreasing. Whereas the actual relationship is the reverse -- increasing the shutter speed reduces the exposure time, while reducing the shutter speed increases the exposure time. This is just as with anything expressed as a fraction: Provided the upper number stays constant, then increasing the value of the lower number (the divisor) makes the value of the fraction smaller; while reducing the value of the lower number makes the value of the fraction greater.
They actually *are* one and the same. Exposure is the amount of light that reaches your camera's sensor or film; essentially, the general brightness of an image. Shutter speed is the length of time the shutter curtains stay open to allow light through the lens into the camera from the moment the shutter button is pressed (the process generally being how long the camera takes to complete the shot, which is the "exposure time"). That's it. You're complicating things for yourself with all that meandering talk.
@jasonbodden8816 Increasing the speed at which the 'shutter curtains' move back and forth, open and close, would *reduce* the amount of time that they 'stay open.' What complicates things is equating 'speed', which is related to motion (such as moving back and forth, opening and closing) with 'staying open,' i.e., with *not* moving.
@ Again, you’re complicating things for yourself to the point of being wrong. It’s still exposure time - how long the sensor is exposed to light for. Whether it’s faster shutter speeds reducing the time the curtains are open or slower shutter speeds increasing the time they’re open, shutter speed is essentially still exposure time. This is why Shutter Priority is also called Tv (Time value) - because the setting YOU prioritize is the one that controls how long the camera sensor is exposed to light for, also known as shutter speed.
@@jasonbodden8816 'Whether it's faster shutter speeds reducing the time the curtains are open or slower shutter speeds increasing the time they're open....' Yes - the relationship is an inverse one. Thanks.
@ Regardless, shutter speed is still exposure time and that’s been my point this whole time. That’s the last I’ll say on it. Not perpetuating this back and forth with you. You can have the last word if you like, though. Have a good one.
Do you think "FV" on newer Canon cameras is a good shooting mode? I like it because I can still change shutter speed on the fly. I also use a couple of manual focus lenses, so I can focus and shoot. I have a M6 mark II.
I shoot with sony cameras so I've never used this shooting mode before, but I think its a good shooting mode if you are trying to get shots quickly and don't have time to adjust your settings on your own. I also believe if the final product of the FV shooting mode is what you're looking for, then it's a good shooting mode!
Thanks for the video, happy diwali to you as its diwali here in India. Could you make a video on portrait photography and also, how to build a business in portrait photography. Thank you
Thanks for the question! If you can, use a tripod for stability and adjust ISO to 800-1600 and focus to infinity (∞) to capture enough light and clarity. Disable the flash, lower the aperture if possible. Hope this helps!
I’ve just bought my first ever camera, the Canon EOS 1300d. I’m struggling to balance the 3 settings in manual, but it’s still my first week 😅 My main question is- if i’m taking a picture of my dog running on the beach, would I prioritise a fast shutter speed to get him frozen in motion, therefore needing a lower aperture and slightly higher ISO to get light in? Are there standard numbers for each type of picture or is it a case of fiddling around until you find the perfect balance each time? Thank you ❤
Thanks for the question! To freeze motion, having a fast shutter speed would be the way to go! The aperture depends on how much light you need and how much depth you want (or how blurry the background is). Then you would adjust the ISO as needed! There isn’t an exactly a set of numbers that would give you perfect results each time as every situation differs, but as you experiment you will find what works best for you! Good luck, and have fun!
Thanks for the question! Film cameras do not have the ability to adjust the ISO because it is a quality of the film itself, as opposed to digital cameras which have an adjustable sensor. To change it, you would have to switch to a different roll of film.
Question: Pro's and cons of a good camcorder for recording wildlife or hunting videos vs dslr or mirrorless cameras for recording videos. I highly value video quality, but also need zoom capability at least out to 400mm. I also have a high quality spotting scope that I can connect a phone or camera to. Trying to decide which way to go. I also want to be able to capture high quality pictures as well, so I know I will need a dslr style camera at least for photos.
Thanks for the question! The camcorder has asy video controls, and longer recording times, but is somewhat limited in terms of photos, usually have smaller sensors, and have limited lens options. On the other hand a mirror less or dslr camera would be more versatile for photo and video, they have interchangeable lenses, and larger sensors, but there may be a learning curve and the battery life for video may not be ideal depending on what camera you’re using. Considering your needs, a dlsr/mirrorless camera may be the way to go, as they have 400mm zoom capabilities while keeping good image quality. Hope this helps, and happy shooting!
If you want the background blurry you want to focus on the aperture setting, keeping it in the lower range. Also keep in mind how close or far your subject or subjects are from the background! Hope this helps!
Hi thank you for helping us understand exposure, my question is if taking pictures of a person outside in a bright sunny day how would you recommend to set the settings
Thanks for the question! Unfortunately there aren’t any perfect one and done settings for portraits on a bright day, as there are a lot of different factors that come into play. The biggest problem is probably over exposure. I would say start with your aperture and stick with a lower number to separate your subject from the background, and keep the shutter speed high to remove motion blur and reduce any over exposure. Then adjust the iso as necessary. If the shot is still overexposed, consider a variable ND filter, which is like sunglasses for your camera! The most important thing is to practice and have fun with it, to familiarize yourself with these settings and what gives you the desired effect. Happy shooting!
Great question! Unlike exposure, contrast isn’t necessarily determined with the exposure triangle. Exposing your shot properly does help but most of the contrast controls are within the cameras image settings (where these settings are varies between different cameras). The more common way of controlling contrast is within the editing process. Contrast isn’t always easy to adjust in the moment so most of the time it’s easier to achieve the desired look once you’re editing. Thanks for the question!
I have a video up on my channel on photo editing! ua-cam.com/video/wUVbW2wue0o/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared As far as having depth while staying sharp, it sounds like it could be an aperture problem. If the aperture is too low of a number (f/1.4 or f/1.8 for example) the background will definitely be blurry and have depth, but the subject may not be in focus either. Try experimenting with slightly higher aperture numbers to get the whole subject in focus. Do also keep in mind the distance between your subject and its background. If the subject is too close to the background the shot will either be not sharp enough, or will lack depth regardless of the aperture. Hope this helps!
Appreciate your video..thanks fpr taking us back to EXPOSURE basics! SIDE BAR: I'm a Nikon guy...Do you find yourself shooting in MANUAL or another shooting mode? :)
Can you help with settings for shooting paintings? I have the equipment but I don't know what settings I need. (I'm a painter learning to shoot my work)
Thanks for the question! As much as I can’t give you exact settings as every painting and scenario is different, there are definitely guidelines you can follow! For the aperture you want to be sure the whole painting is in focus so stick with a small aperture (high f/ stop number) from f/8-f/16. To minimize grain keep your iso as low as possible. An iso at 100 is preferable. And last, a good standard for the shutter speed is 1/100, especially if you’re using a tripod. I also highly recommend using a shutter button you plug in to your camera to further reduce any shaking. Do keep in mind, the equipment you’re using such as lighting, lenses, and tripods, will affect how you go about optimizing your settings. Be sure you’re painting is properly lit, as poor lighting can make the whole process much more difficult. Two bright studio lights work very well, and many people shoot in direct sunlight. My favorite focal length for paintings is 50mm but 35mm also works! Good luck with your shooting!
@@studiovyv Thank you!! yes I have a tripod, lighting and will be using a timer for no shaking. Thank you for the settings those were holding me up. Sunlight sounds good too. Would I need an overcast or sunny day though? Thanks again.
Determining the perfect shutter speed for film photos depends on factors like lighting, subject movement, and desired creative effects. A general rule is to use a shutter speed that's roughly the reciprocal of your lens focal length (e.g., 1/50s for a 50mm lens). Adjust faster for fast-moving subjects and slower for low light. Experiment to find the balance between motion blur and sharpness that fits your artistic vision!
Thanks for the question! The fujifilm x-s1 is definitely a good camera for beginners as it’s easy to use and has an impressive zoom (which minimizes the need to switch lenses all the time). Do keep in mind the camera you use doesn’t matter so much as long as you’re using it and having fun!
Depends on what you're shooting and the look you're going for - whether you want a dreamy-looking blurry background or one that's more sharply in focus. There's no one best aperture for anything. Too many variables.
how much is in focus lower f stop = larger opening = shallow depth of field = bg blurru lower aperture = portraits f.16 less light= deeper depth of field = land scapes
Say, Viv, why don't you consider Scene Illumination as one of the factors of exposure?? It makes a difference. It is certainly controllable. And in fact it was one of the factors in the ORIGINAL "exposure triangle", before ISO became controllable. Why do we no longer consider it?? Why not the exposure quadrangle? Too complicated?
Scene illumination is definitely a factor that affects exposure, but the reason it isn't included in the exposure triangle is because as much as in certain situations such as a studio, the scene illumination is controllable, in many situations you're dealing with natural light which can't be controlled. Hope this helps :)
ISO has nothing to do with exposure and how much light will exposed to the sensor. ISO is more of an amplifier to lighten or darken the image. With the consequence that the noise in the image will appear more if you amplify your image to much
The ISO isn't just a digital adjustment. Before Digital cameras, you were able to choose different film by ISO sensitivity. So if you were taking photos of fireworks or night shots with no motion blur, high ISO film was perfect. You can even do double exposure tricks with film to and have you standing beside yourself. Fun times😊
We know what the different settings do...that is not in question. As for the exposure triangle where was the formulae for using it ?? I's not just you who fails but almost everyone on UA-cam. The triangle surely is supposed to help you . Say you start off with your ISO at 200 and your aperture at F3.5 then the triangle is supposed to let you know what shutter speed to use is it not ?
Thanks for the comment! The triangle isn’t necessarily supposed to be a formula to find the perfect exposure. It’s more of a name to describe the three main settings to control the exposure. There’s not really a formula to determine the shutter speed for you example because it depends on the situation and the effect you’re after. Knowing the ideal shutter speed for a specific situation takes practice and patience. Hope this helps!
Exposure triangle for dummies … you explained it so dumbed down and easily for those who are not well versed in it

That’s cool , but how do you control the shutter speed and the ISO , just trying to fully understand
Is there a tutorial on how edit photos on things like lightroom? Also how I'm struggling with depth and still being sharp..if you know what I mean
I have a video up on my channel on photo editing! ua-cam.com/video/wUVbW2wue0o/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
As far as having depth while staying sharp, it sounds like it could be an aperture problem.

How do you determine the perfect shutter speed when taking film photos
Determining the perfect shutter speed for film photos depends on factors like lighting, subject movement, and desired creative effects. A general rule is to use a shutter speed that's roughly the reciprocal of your lens focal length (e.g., 1/50s for a 50mm lens). Adjust faster for fast-moving subjects and slower for low light. Experiment to find the balance between motion blur and sharpness that fits your artistic vision!

Say, Viv, why don't you consider Scene Illumination as one of the factors of exposure?? It makes a difference. It is certainly controllable. And in fact it was one of the factors in the ORIGINAL "exposure triangle", before ISO became controllable. Why do we no longer consider it?? Why not the exposure quadrangle? Too complicated?
Scene illumination is definitely a factor that affects exposure, but the reason it isn't included in the exposure triangle is because as much as in certain situations such as a studio, the scene illumination is controllable, in many situations you're dealing with natural light which can't be controlled. Hope this helps :)
Thanks this was nice...
Glad you liked it!

So pretty :,)
What is your definition of ISO
i was thinking about this since 5 minutes hahahaha
ISO has nothing to do with exposure and how much light will exposed to the sensor. ISO is more of an amplifier to lighten or darken the image. With the consequence that the noise in the image will appear more if you amplify your image to much
The ISO isn't just a digital adjustment. Before Digital cameras, you were able to choose different film by ISO sensitivity. So if you were taking photos of fireworks or night shots with no motion blur, high ISO film was perfect. You can even do double exposure tricks with film to and have you standing beside yourself. Fun times😊
why is the editing so choppy? and something seems off about the presenter
HI
are those your arms or is someone crouched behind you?
Lol, they are my arms! I do see how the height of the table does make it look like they aren’t though 😂
Photography question:
Why you so dam cute?

We know what the different settings do...that is not in question. As for the exposure triangle where was the formulae for using it ?? I's not just you who fails but almost everyone on UA-cam. The triangle surely is supposed to help you . Say you start off with your ISO at 200 and your aperture at F3.5 then the triangle is supposed to let you know what shutter speed to use is it not ?
Thanks for the comment! The triangle isn’t necessarily supposed to be a formula to find the perfect exposure. It’s more of a name to describe the three main settings to control the exposure. There’s not really a formula to determine the shutter speed for you example because it depends on the situation and the effect you’re after. Knowing the ideal shutter speed for a specific situation takes practice and patience. Hope this helps!
she cute
