I've tried learning manual settings several times over the years and none of the tutorials have ever stuck with me. Your video and explanations are the most helpful I've ever found!
Most comments here are 6 years old. But in 2023 your video is still blessing people with knowledge of this wonderful art called, "Photography." God bless you!!!
You are just awesome Teacher! I just started learning photography and the time when I was just getting overwhelmed with the settings and the science of photography, you saved and piqued my interest. Thanks alot!
I am a bit dense when it comes to comprehension of a subject. I am older and lean towards the more artistic side of things. Normally I can figure things out through a more hands on approach. Not so when it comes to understanding the code of photography. This is a great tutorial for any student of photography. I am getting it!
Thank you very much for this video, I am getting ready to acquire my first DSLR (7100 or 7200 haven't 100% decided if the price difference justifies the 7200 for me yet considering the 7200 isn't leaps and bounds beyond the 7100 and i'm not shooting action "often"). This video has helped me understand quite a bit and I am looking forward to putting it into practice! Thank you!
actually ISO has nothing to do with light sensitivity on a digital camera, it is applied gain that is added after the photo has been taken via the processor
Thanks so much for your knowledge and good explanation! Which camera do you use to make this kind of videos? d7200 has a bad macro focus Thanks! Jonathan from Argentina!
I agree and also use a mirrorless camera as it gives me instant visual feedback of the exposure, rather than have to look at the back of the camera after taking the picture to confirm that the exposure was OK. That said, many people seem to prefer using an optical finder, like on the Nikon, especially for fast-moving action. But think about how much more difficult it was using film, where it was only after processing that you were able to see if the picture was properly exposed. Yet MANY great pictures were taken this way. I think that this is a great tutorial series for learning the basics.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. It's true the camera can go up to 25,600 and even higher, but I was pointing out the usable range for decent image quality. I think above 6400 image quality on the D7200 begins to suffer.
If the only way to get a shot is to use those extreme ISO settings, then you would. If aliens landed or something else really remarkable was going on. The image quality would be poor, but better a poor quality photo than nothing at all. But for most of what we do, you want decent quality and need to work within the limits of your camera. The D7200 is a great camera, but you can go spend twice or three times as much on a D850 or D5 and shoot at much higher ISO's if that's the kind of work you're doing and you need that.
@@joebro937 he said native because even if your camera can go to an very height ISO you are not supposed to use that height ISO unless you are in an extreme case ... And Native varieties between camera's even if they have same sensor the Processor might be better (like D7100 vs D7200) so you can get more usable ISO out of the same sensor ... Also photography moved to so much better sensors I am wandering why they did not give us better lower ISO to get even sharper images ... Anyway avoid using height ISO as much as you can to get the most quality out of your images. The more light you have the lower ISO you can use that is why one of the most important rule for a good photography is lighting.
