Learn the basics of photography in 10 minutes! Obviously, there’s much more to photography, but if you can grasp ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, you can take incredible images and be able to troubleshoot when you’re not getting incredible images.

Screen shot the chart and keep it with you next time you’re out shooting!

Would you just set your ISO on auto? So much choice or the camera is going to Automatically do it for . Very good and educational video . I happy I learned film photography first . Thanks

With shutter speed why don’t you just keep it at max shutter speed? Instead of changing it while taking a moving portrait or does the speed matter?

Iso… Iso… Iceoh… Iceoh… Ice-oh… I have never heard anyone say that before. I wanted to slam my head on my lens. Thank you YouTube suggestions autoplay for pissing me off today.

A lot of cameras have a light meter that lets you know how much light you have, letting you change the settings without having to check a picture multiple times. You typically want the light meter in the center, but may want it to one side or the other in certain scenarios (such as astrophotography or a picture with snow), or to change the mood.

Doesn't ISO stand for the International Organization for Standardization? Which means it is an acronym?

But like what to do if the aperture affects the brightness as well. Or that problem comes depending on which mode your in?

AMAZING Video!! To the point and very easy to follow. Well done!

I am a London based pro photographer with over 10 years of commercial experience (and a Master's Degree in Mass Communications with Photography). What you have explained here are the simple basics of how the camera works. Very easy to understand and very clear. Well done!! (Obviously 'Liked' and 'Subscribed'!)
