Excellent excellent excellent.very nice how you did not rush through it like so many people feel like they have to talk so fast. You got it my friend. Keith Kuhn PS do you have any thoughts on the Sony XN5U video camera ? Thanks
I’ve been a photographer for over 50 years. I’ve had aperture and shutter priority cameras. I’ve used Kodachrome and Fujichrome as well as other type of print film. I say this to let you know I’ve had some experience. Now my comments. This was easily the best video I’ve seen about shooting in manual mode. Or any mode really. Well done you hit all the “side effects” clearly and efficiently.
David Miller I totally agree. I just bought my first DSLR so naturally I’m scouring RU-vid for short-to the point videos. This was by far the best. Now I’m excited to shoot in manually with no experience whatsoever. Thank you.
@@HyunRalphJeong Fantastic Video mate. No job now, thanks to China. I'm thinking of getting into photography as a hobby. Not too much on my wallet, was wondering if it is good to get a Nikon D90 (body only) used with shutter count under 15k and a 35mm 1.8G prime lens to kick start. TIA
This is probably the clearest and easiest explanation i've ever seen on how to shoot pictures in manual mode working with lens aperture, shutter speed and iso. It can take long time to get a sense of how those three things together affect the final picture, but you have managed to set everything quite straight in just ten minutes . Well done!
As a newbie photographer, I've watched several dozen videos explaining these things and had already gotten a good general grasp of the concepts, but I have to say yours is absolutely THE BEST. The way you explained it, the way you demonstrated it, and the graphic you used on the left were all brilliant. This proves why not everyone who masters something is good at teaching it - you definitely have the gift not only for photography but for teaching. Thanks so much! I'm gonna take a print screen of your graphic and print it and keep it with me as a great reminder tool.
Agree. Definitely the best one. Direct to the point. Finally got the big picture after years of confusion lol. You should consider to open school of photography
Another tip: If you're a beginner and don't want to do full manual all the time (as it can take multiple adjustments and trial and error to get just one good picture) use the shutter, aperture priority modes. Almost all DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have them and it can be a very effective way to get very creative shots. You adjust the aperture/shutter speed, and the camera auto adjusts the rest. Very useful in a pinch.
To be honest, I understood these facts prior to watching, but this was so brilliantly explained I now feel like I could teach a class of 3 year Olds on it lol. Well done sir!
I agree, amazing video. I'm a beginner photographer, just bought a Canon T7 and before this video I had no clue what the aperature or shutter speed was, and I just thought ISO was brightness. This really cleared it up for me
Unbelievable! I have been making pictures since I was 14. When I finally got a grip on it and how to use the settings the camera broke. Years later I went to school and I relearned everything 'the right way' I could just never get a clear explenation and kept mixing things up. I lost my interest for many years again but never the love. When I went to study again we had photography, and at that point I hated to listen to explenations and my camera had a lot of limitations. So because I got frustrated with digital I went back to film and loved every second of it. But because of my memory problems after a while I forget why I do settings and then forget how to balance them out. So every now and then I go online and look for clear explanations as refreshers but they only seem to make me more confused. And now I found this, I watched it and everything fell right back in to place. No more frustration ever, because I can always watch your video again, thank you so much 💕 no more feeling stupid, hell yeah
@At the veterans I was thinking exactly the same, there is zero reason for anyone giving this a down vote unless they didn't understand it but I don't know how he could have made it more straightforward.
I’m a complete beginner, haven’t even received my camera in the mail yet, and this video made sooo much sense to me! Really clear explanation, the diagram and side by sides helped immensely. Thank you!!
I'm new to photography and this is by far the most helpful video I've seen yet. Others spend most of the clip explaining just aperture setting, or just shutter speed with only a cursory explanation about how one affects the other. The manner in which these settings are blended together and how they impact the others is great. Thanks!
I agree Herbee. Most that I have seen is just filled with a lot of chatter and little to no demonstrations. I loved the side screen showing the settings and how they were adjusted to get the right affect.
I agree with you. This video is amazing for people who struggle with the comprehension. I have an issue understanding some things and I've been doing photography for years and I need a diagram to help me remember things and the simple stupid of this video Is so so helpful.
You are incredibly calm and highly focused. The way you explain things is very articulate. It reminds me of the time back in school when I used to tutor my classmates. What motivates me is that the class always fills up with students. Almost all of them show up early in the morning before the regular class begins whenever I schedule a tutoring session. I must say, you are a born lecturer. I started my journey in photography during the 9th grade, which was 15 years ago. I used to earn some money by taking pictures, mainly of students at the time. I wasn't driven by photography knowledge but by my skills in manipulating a simple camera. Since then, I've been capturing family moments and even photos of my kids. Just a day ago, I invested in a high-end camera, and now I'm eager to learn all the necessary photography skills. In this quest, I found RU-vid to be a valuable resource, and I stumbled upon your videos. Well done, Hyun! You truly deserve all the likes, shares, and comments for the sake of RU-vid's algorithm.
November Muñoz Your children will remember what you said about them one day in the future. (No good saying I was only joking ) They never forget believe me 🤣
I am still shopping for my first camera for hobby use. After watching your video, I already feel ready to start playing with manual modes. You did such a great job at explaining the functions and uses of each of the 3 main camera settings. You used real terms, but you broke them down into concepts that us total amateurs can understand. Thank you for posting this!! (I know it's 4 years old, but its new to me)
I am a novice photographer and have looked at many videos and read some books. Your explanation about how to shoot in manual is one of the best I have seen. So clear with your examples. You are definitely a gifted teacher as well as professional.
Absolute best explanation of Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO I've heard and I've been through a bunch. When you tell the pros and cons of each setting, it separates the 3-ways of doing light and shows that each setting, indeed, is it's own thing. Thanks!
I would really like to thank you very much for your clear and concise explanation of how these 3 components all work together - I've never seen anything presented in such an easy-to-understand format, so I'm now feeling more confident in tackling those so I can truly get out of the auto-mode - once again, really appreciate your presentation.
I've been composing photos for over 50 years - and while there's nothing new here for me, I enjoy watching and listening to folks explain all this. I have to say - you are one of the best I've ever seen. Well done.
I too am a new beginner to photography. I just want to say how I greatly appreciate how you explained the functions of the camera so simple. I could listen to you all day. The manual to my camera is so boring compared to you. You are truly gifted, thanks for sharing your stupendous talents with everyone.
I'm returning to digital photography after over a decade of just using my smartphone. Learning the basic relationship between f stop, shutter speed and ISO with such good examples has really helped. I especially appreciate the reference of what full auto would do. Thank you.
I’ve looked at different “get out of Auto” videos and this has been the best. You didn’t just talk but you had the animated visuals and the camera with the dials that made it physically visual rather than attempting to imagine how to do it.
I've been watching content like this for several years and I still haven't been able to work this out, but now that I've seen this video - it's suddenly crystal clear. Thank-you so much for this video!
This video is a 10/10 for learning. I just got an Olympus EP3 and I’m very new. It seems to me the goal is to keep ISO as low as possible while maintaining the amount of light you want in the picture while balancing how you want the blur. Basically I try to set ISO under 600 if possible and the mess with aperture and shutter speed in any way possible while not losing the feel of what I’m trying to capture.
Im a newbie too and I guess the hack is to first decide what shutter speed you want (which means, you gotta choose between whether you wanna capture a particular moment, where the shutter speed needs to be high, or whether you want to capture an extended time photo). Once that's set, you select the aperture depending on the object in your focus... And finally you select the ISO such that the photo has the minimum acceptable amount of brightness (or till the bar is 0.0)
I am beyond grateful for this video! I tried looking up charts and read fb photography groups and never understood the meaning and importance of these three words and why it was better to “manually” do it! Thank you a million for this!!!!!! This gave me a little more confidence!
I've been shooting since the early 60's and that is the best short explanation of the three variables of photography I've heard. Well done! In the day, we had to change film to change the ISO!
I have been an amateur photographer for quite a few years, read many books, and this is the very best explanation I have ever seen and the reasons behind why Using Manual on your camera is best. In a word , Brilliant.
I've watched dozens of videos explaining exposure, but none have been this effective at explaining what each setting means, what each settings does, and how all the settings work together to affect exposure. I feel like because you didn't just explain, but showed the effects in real time with examples, it will finally stick with me. So well done, thank you!
Your explanation is absolutely the best!! Thank you so much! It can be so overwhelming with 40min videos but you condensed everything without lacking information
I’ve been wanting to start photography so I’ve been looking up tons of videos on beginning tips. This absolutely was the best video I’ve come across explaining manual by far! Thank you so much for going in such great detail.
Wow. I'm absolutely astounded. I've been looking at videos and reading countless resources on this and for some reason it just wasn't clicking UNTIL I found this video. I want to thank you for a simple yet concise explanation an all three factors. I had such a hard time understanding ISO, aperture, shutter speed and how they all interacted with each other. I'm certain I'll have a much more pleasant time taking pictures now that I know exactly what each mode is for. Thank you again, this was absolutely brilliant.
Wow! Sorry I am so late to the party with this video. But I hope you will still see my huge thanks and accept my praise and admiration for this video. As a novice photographer, I have watched endless videos on the 'holy trinity of ISO/shutter speed/aperture, and come away afterwards still puzzled. Anything I did pick up I quickly lost as it wasn't really explaining why and how these three things work in conjunction. If I could give you a gold medal, there would be one in the mail right now! Thank you. Thank you so much! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It takes someone with thorough knowledge of photography and clear understanding of how people see, hear with simultaneous retention in order to be concise. Masterful job sir and great examples of different photographic settings at the end.
New photographer here shooting on a Nikon D7500. Been watching tons of videos to understand the big 3 of photography and I can't tell you how helpful your comparative shots are at the end of the video! Thank you thank you!
Thanks for one of the clearest, if not the clearest, explanations of the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and iso that I’ve seen. I finally understand how with my camera on manual these 3 functions can be used to produce the desired results. Now I can practice and keep practicing in earnest without feeling so frustrated. Your clarity in explaining this, as well as the simplicity with which you do that, is much appreciated.
Basically you go at 5 min mark, all the way to the end and you learn all you need to take pictures. Never heard a better explanation about settings than this. Hat off Sir, well done. And this is coming from someone that has been using manual since when cameras used film, and everything was mechanical.
Just got a Canon M50 3 days ago and THIS VIDEO IS A LIFESAVER. Thank you very much SIR for sharing your knowledge and experience with the masses. You saved the day and the field.... lol
Just want to say thank you for this video it has been a big help for my wife and I trying to learn her new camera and within a few minutes after watching it we already made huge leaps and bounds of how much better our pictures our now. And the way you explained this in such an easy way for us simple minded folks to understand was great.
I'm super happy that I stumbled across this video! This was INCREDIBLY helpful! I'm just getting into photography, wanted to learn how to do things manually and you explained things PERFECTLY.
This is soooo useful!! You explain everything in such simple terms that we don't need to wing it anymore. Hahaha We're saving this video for future reference!
I first became interested in photography more than 40 years ago. Everything I know is self-taught. This video shows that the basics are still the same and that if you can master them you can take really impressive shots as a beginner. I've recently purchased a nifty-fifty as I've started dabbling in photography again for fun. You explain the basics much better than any instruction manual I've come across and everything came back to me in a......flash.....? Excellent video. Thank you
This is one of the best to the point explanations for a new user. You answered every question a friend asked me last night! He should be able to become a much better photographer after watching your video! You are a TRUE TEACHER of the art! Thank you!
This is an incredibly well made video, walking through the process, step by step, showing how each thing effects the shot. It makes so much more sense now! I've been fiddling around trying to learn but you have explained this perfectly.
This was so useful, I loved that you used the camera as an example to show us what you were doing. Along with the tips and details on the left. Best beginner Photography tutorial on RU-vid to date!
I’m a newbie and did my first night shoot last night only to discover I had no idea how to control all three aspects at one time. This video was excellent in helping me to understand. Well done and thank you!
I've just adopted you as my favorite teacher. You're the first one to paint a clear picture for me explaining what the settings do, how they do it, and the relationship between settings. Other people confuse the hell out of me.
Great video. Excellent presentation. I have taught as well and I can say, "Information is not education." Hyun not only informs he educates. Great job Hyun. Loved it.
Dude!! You. Are. The. MAN! I just bought my first camera, and have been extremely overwhelmed on all of the settings. I have watched hours of RU-vid videos before I came across yours. This is by far the best explanation/tutorial I have found.
First video I've watched of yours and this is the best *TUTORIAL* on learning camera settings. I have subbed and am looking forward to your easy striaght forward teaching. Instant sub. Looking forward to upping my car photography with these tips. I searched for years on how to and this is the best!
Omg!!! Thank you so much for this video. I’ve watched so many videos and was still so confused until I watch your video. Watched it once, love it. Watched it again and took notes. You broke it down and made it so easy to understand. I loved how you had the simulation on the left side, so easy to follow along and clearly understand. You are the G.O.A.T!!!!! 🙏🏽👏🏼🙌🏽
Thank you! I’ve read and watched a lot of materials on Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO but it’s only watching this video that I understood the connection between the three. I’ll be shooting better from now on!
I was always afraid to shoot in manual mode, picking to always shoot in aperture or shutter priority. But thanks to your clear, concise, and informative video, I now shoot exclusively in manual mode. Thank you Hyun so much! 🙏
Best video on explaining the shooting modes and side effects! Clear, simple and fast! Well done pal! Now I'm again getting back some vibes to return to full manual mode, as I started this way when I first picked up a DSLR (started with a Nikon D80). In my case, I always try to maintain ISO below 600.
I'm no expert (I use manual photography for my dental practice) but if RU-vid could go ahead and just delete any other manual photography tutorial video would do us all a favor, because this one simply covers it and in the best way possible there's literally no need for any other.
This is the best explanation I have had of manual settings and I took multiple photo classes in high school and in college! I don't know why everyone else has explained it in such confusing ways! Thank you! Loved the side-by-side examples.
This is the first video where it really broke it down and now I understand. I didn’t understand what I was looking at when it came to adjusting the aperture and now I finally do from this video.
I recently was given a Canon EOS-60D by my brother with no manual. It's been a bit of a struggle trying to figure everything out but this video opened a new avenue for me in my mind. I don't need to be familiar with the camera if I just know how to take good photos. I've just figured out how to change all these settings in manual mode and it kinda feels like all I need to know. Thanks a ton for this
I'm taking a college beginner photography class, and this video cleared up so much of my confusion! Thanks a million! I now have a page of notes that I took as I watched your video, and I will refer to those when I am doing photoshoots. Thank you!!!!
Very detailed and useful guide for shooting manually! Really like how you’ve added lots of different styles of videos on your channel as of late. Also cool to see the other side of your studio haha
This is perhaps THE best photography aids I ever saw. I have been shooting with a Leica rangefinder since I was 12 years old. So 60 years. Now I have a Leica M8 which is of course VERY manual. Am breaking the lazy habit of using my iPhone camera. Your video is super helpful!
