Nice information. Thank you for it. Kindly advise: Should I go for 0.43x AF Wide angle lens and 2.2 x AF Telephoto on my Canon 200D/SL2. What would be their impact on photography?
Wow im impressed, this is by far the best video. Thanks for your effort, I've finally managed to find all the functions on my cam. Ready to explore. Big thanks again
I feel so validated! Thank you for your video. I was soooo frustrated with SnapBridge that I was pulling my hair out. I’m going to get the SD to lightening reader as you suggest. I have a Nikon D3500.
Hello Paul.. I do regularly watch your videos and have subscribed also. Just need to know one thing. Does crop factor of 1.6 in canon applies to aperture also ? For example does f2.8 full frame lens becomes f4.5 in crop sensor camera body or it remains the same in Aps-c also ?

With lenses like the 70-200mm f2.8. The aperture can be set to whatever you wish and adjusting the zoom will not have any affect on the aperture. This feature is called constant aperture. Hope that helps.
@@photogenius thank you. I knew that part, but mechanically I wondered if by your math the aperture got wider as you zoom. I took a flash light to my 24-105 and yes as I zoomed to 105 the aperture got wider and my calibrated eye, says your math is correct on both ends of the zoom!!
As a very newbie to digital photography, and being autistic, I have found this series of clips to be valuable. They explain things in a very simplistic fashion and support it with demonstrations so that the visual learners amongst us can follow along. Thank you.
Nice video, thank you! However, I would really love it if reviewers would use lenses that the average person actually owns. For instance: an older EF 100-400II, or some budget friendly RF glass like the RF 800. These very expensive RF prime lenses paint an unrealistic picture, which could ultimately disappoint people.
Check the filter thread size of your lens. This is typically written on the front of the lens around the glass. Tip : If you have more than one lens with different filter sizes, buy a filter to fit the larger lens as you can use adaptors to downsize.
Thank-you so much, Paul! I truly appreciate this video. Felt a little embarassed to need to know this, but it had been awhile. Your instruction helped secure my brand new Canon EOS R6 Mark II! All My Best!!!
Thanks so much Sir you just came to my rescue. I have been taking photos which were usually " Out of Focus", now I have learnt from you... Be blessed ❤
Thanks for an interesting video Paul! Not too surprising. On number of photos taken for one 'good' one: That is quite high for me as I purposely play around with different settings within M, varying shutter, some aperture, and even the exposure compensation (I do generally stay on auto ISO except for night shooting). And 'good' varies as I sometimes get the image I had in my mind, but sometimes get a different one I like better. And though she doesn't know it I even moved my wife to M! My second body (having gotten a Z6iii the day they were released here in the use) is a D7500 with a NIkkor DX 18-300 (WONDERFUL lens - I think better than the 24-200 I added to the Z6iii). I leave VR on, set the shutter to 1/500, aperture to F8, spot focus and auto-ISO... her keeper rate is very high with those general settings for outdoor. Thanks again - always enjoy just listening too you! Best!! Steve
EXCELLENT! 5 tips: 1) Capture the "catch light" in the bird's eyes. 2) Position photographer at bird's eye level. 3) Use a pop-up blind and patience. Ideally bird is close and background clutter is far away for boca background. 4) Birds typically take off and land into the wind, so ideally wind at photographer's back. 5) For water birds, place camera at water level on the ground and use the flip screen. With bright light, a great "budget lens" is the Canon RF 800mm F/11.
