@@giladpeles9597 I am happy with it. I’m not a pro photographer, but I think it will be good enough for someone at a higher skill level than me. You might want a mirrorless though if you are an advanced camera user.

@@Schooloftheages thx. Mirrorless is much more expensive... And i already have a crop lenses so i need a crop camera

I wish I had time for a blog XD But if you have any questions, please let me know!

I will be sure to add those to my list! Thank you for watching!

Are there specific photo examples you would like to see? Thank you for watching!

Its a great habit to have as long as you triple check your photos are backed up! :)

So I’m Manual mode, because you have all the control over every aspect of exposure (ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture), in order to get a lower or higher exposure you need to change one of these options. In P, S, and A mode, there is always a variable that the camera is assisting with so you can tell it if you need it a bit brighter or darker. That is an excellent question! Let me know if you have any others!

I am so so happy my videos can be of some help! I teach this kind of stuff at a camera store I work at, and my students wanted a reference to go to other than the manual, so I started this channel and I am happy to help even more people understand the world of photography, because it can be a very overwhelming place to be in! My intro song on my videos (which I absolutely LOVE) is called Fly Away by TheFatRat. This is the link, its free to use and download. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cMg8KaMdDYo.html When it comes to your exposure triangle (ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture), they do all work together, but that doesn't mean you yourself set all of them. That would basically be working in full Manual mode which I don't recommend people use as a primary mode. Consider your goal. If the bass boat is moving rather quickly down the river, you want to set your ISO to Auto, and put your dial mode to S for Shutter Speed to freeze the motion of the boat. If you take the boat out of the equation and your just shooting the landscape, A or Aperture mode is what you want to be in. Or P mode (Program) if you are just getting into learning the ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture. Check out my Program Mode Video, Shutter Speed Mode Video and Aperture Mode Video in my Camera Basics Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PL0jHU7tULNujpSsJ6n5hrddSUWVRvKy_p I have been trying to include lens comparisons and reviews in my current videos, but as there are hundreds of options of lenses, its hard to review every single one. I think I will eventually get there, for sure, like doing what lenses are best for what circumstance, but it will be a few months before I can start on those. The kit lenses that come with Nikon and Canon are meant to get you started and unfortunately are not the best quality. When people come in to talk to me about this issue, I recommend the same lens every time and haven't had a single unhappy customer with it: the Tamron 18-400mm Its an all in one lens so you don't have to carry two, it has top notch stabilization, has a macro ability, and Tamron covers any factory issues or maintenance for 6 years! Definitely check out the link: mikescamera.com/shop/tamron-18-400mm-f3-5-6-3-di-ii-vc-hld-model-b028-nikon/de10b550-38bf-0135-0992-00163e9110c0?variation=1536710 I currently edit with Adobe Lightroom CC, I find it easy to use. However, if you don't shoot in RAW, or your not shooting professionally (yet), Adobe Photoshop Elements is EXTREMELY easy to use and it is a one time payment. I used that program for a few years before I moved to Lightroom. Please feel free to "bombard" me with more questions anytime :) As long as someone is learning something from my videos, I am going to keep making them! Feel free to share!

I know one of these. Beside auto there is another mode with a flash symbol and slash through it. This is auto with no flash.

Great questions! The P mode is Program Auto. It is your first step off the auto mode where you can choose shutter speed or aperture, focusing modes and areas, ISO and more, while the camera limits those options to still assist in getting you a properly exposed photograph. The M mode is full Manual. The camera will not assist you in any way, it will only do what you set each setting to individually. Liba is correct, if you want full auto mode but want the flash to stop popping up, there is a symbol on the mode dial of a flash symbol with the no symbol through it. In order to switch from auto focus to manual focus (If the switch is not on the lens), you will have to use your menu or quick menu. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Great question! So with most cameras, once the HDMI cable is plugged in, it takes away the use of the current monitor. This would be the case with this model.

This is a normal occurrence, as it is still using the mirror and shutter when taking the photo. This camera wasn't designed to use live view as a primary way to take photos, only when you are in a pinch. Mirrorless cameras have made it much easier and faster to shoot in a live view setting where what you see is what you get as well.

That actually is the number of photos you have left! Over 1,700 photos in your current settings!

@@Shutterbug101 Haha! That makes sense now. Thanks. :)

This will depend on the lens if it has a VR option. The D5600 does not have VR in the body itself.

I plan on doing a video going specially over the pre programmed modes and effects in a separate video so keep an eye out! As for the one color mode, you can select it in the effects mode and select your color by framing it in the box and setting it with the ok button.

Thank you I will give it a go. Its all very new (and complicated) at the moment so simplicity is the key. Enjoying it very much.

If you don’t want to personally control the settings yet, I would set it to P for Program and let the camera assist you without the flash. This way, you can change certain settings as you learn more about it while you use it.

How is the camera? Do you recommend me to buy it? upgrade from d3300

I will be making a video on how to do this soon, but here is a step by step walk through for you: Set mode dial to effects>activate live mode with the LV lever>use the dial to pick selective color effect>hit the middle confirmation button in the middle of your directional pad to pick up to 3 colors to show while the rest are in black in white>to set a color, put the middle square over the color you want to save and hit up on the directional pad and the middle button when your set!

Great question! In order to get the other auto focus area modes, you will have to set the autofocus mode to AF-A or AF-C. This will allow you access to those options!

If you want something wider than the kit lens, I would recommend the Tamron 10-24mm! Great lens and is as wide as you can get!

That all depends on the preference of comfort and what features will compliment your kind of photography! All are fantastic, but I will say the M50 being a mirrorless camera will be better if you are a more visual learner. If you are a numbers person who can easily do mathematics in your head you may find that the D5600 or SL3 will compliment you better!

@@Shutterbug101 ok Thank you, how about the m50 kit lens 15 45mm is it good?

It is a nice starter lens that gives you a nice wide to mid range reach.

Double check the switches on your camera, your VR switch and focus mode switch may be effecting those settings.

@@Shutterbug101 I checked all the switches on the camera and it appears that those options are just not loaded within this camera. Could it be that there are two versions of the D5600 ?

Did you check the switches on the lens?

@@Shutterbug101 yes I did & nothing changes the menu within the camera.

You should still have access to those settings, but it may be due to that specific lens taking those features away. Next time your at a camera store, try another lens and see if it gives you those option.

Is your focus area set to wide?

@@Shutterbug101 Its set to single focus.

So there is where the camera is focusing and how the camera is focusing. The single focus is how the camera is focusing, on a single still subject. You need to find what setting the focus area is on. It’s accessible through your informational menu

Correct, the only difference between the D5600 and D5300 is that the 56 has touch screen and has an extended battery life, due to some changes with the power management. I would love to answer any questions you or your students have! And the manual modes are for anyone, even hobbyists, who wish to take more control over their photos and videos. This was just a walkthrough of what the camera has physically and what it’s features are. To use these features, I recommend looking at my camera basics playlist where it breaks the manual modes, focusing modes and metering modes down. Or looking up a photography/video basics class/video. If there were key points I missed please let me know so I can address them in future videos.
