Basic Shooting Modes | Canon 40D 40 D | Digital Photography

[missmeliss1124]

I have a Canon 40d and it has been a pain not because it is a bad camera but because I didn't take the time out to learn enough about it before I started. Thanks for the lesson :-) I'm going to look into your dvd course!

Dummy Mode lol



[koray1921]

i cant focus images at close or far subjects in a photo, i can only focus at all photo. what should i do?

[alohababae2]

Can you do tutorial on Nikon dslr? I'm new to dslr. thanks

[ezycreazy]

iam upgrade from Nikon D80 to Canon 40D today.. and i dont know nothing at all... all the setting looks complicated...

[raulagentraul]

if you are a beginner the best way for you to learn how a dslr works is to make dunno/// ~1000 shots combining all the settings :) that`s how i leand, you dont need to read 400 pages to tell you how to put your camera on full manual or Aperture mode or change iso or whaterver ... good luck :)

[i0wa88]

As for me it's much better to have 5 custom preset functions than all of these "dummy modes". But they are really nice solutions for beginners.

[47Thieves]

Might be a silly question, but are all the photos on this video taken with the 40D? thanks.

[lillen300]

hehe dummy mode :)

Hey Micheal. Thank you for your videos. I need some help on my first dslr. I live in Ireland and cannon dslr's are very expensive here. Between the 450d and 40d what would be best  for a beginner? Have done some research on both and the 40d is what i am leaning toward, but is it too much to begin with?

[McKIllaG5]

The 450D is a great camera for a beginner. The larger the numbers on the camera the more beginner it is. 1000D is really basic, 450D is getting more intermediate, 40D is pretty much advanced, and then the Mark 1Ds is about as advanced as you could ever go right now. I bought the 450D a few days ago and I love it. I already knew a pretty good deal about photography but this was my first DSLR, I used to use a Sony point and shoot that had fully customizable settings.

[040506keri]

Cheers my friend. I bought the 40D with the 17-85mm lens kit and over just a few weeks with some reading and video tutorial help i have started shooting some great shots. I subscribed to a great mag called PhotoPlus which is for users of Canon Dslr's only. It's great help. Check it out. Order from England

[McKIllaG5]

Not sure if I can order it because I live in America. If I had more money to spend on a Camera I probably would have bought a 40D or a 50D. I spent a total of 970 USD on the 450D which came with an 18-55mm lens and a 55-250mm lens both with Image Stabilization and an extra battery. I think it was a pretty good deal.

[sgtpeppper]

1000d is crap

[FixedHDD]

Nope actually not.

The 1000D has the same image sensor and chip in it.

The 50D is crap. 16M pixels on a cropcamera creates so much noise at higher ISO. The lenses have to be very good otherwise you'll get screwed up pictures

[Plutoniummatt]

Hasselblad make more advanced cameras :P

[zxbcx]

there is a 7d now, look on the canon website.

[McKIllaG5]

Yeah I saw that. It looks sweet.

[jstalmaster]

Thanks man! Always wondered about those icons!

[mnelanka]

Very Nice Video. Helpful. Thanks man.

[tasulinha2]

i need same of your DVDs, i have canon 20D.

[lilaclady1210]

these videos have been very helpful, I just cant get a handling on the f-stops and apertures, but hopefully with watching and re-watching the videos I will get there

[MichaelTheMentor]

Red eye is caused by a reflection of your light off the inside of the eye. Try aiming your flash at the ceiling if shooting indoors or otherwise using a diffuser, like a Gary Fong Light Sphere, which will soften the light. Best wishes!

[marcdecious]

Hi Michael, I just got the light sphere but didn't notice much differnce than using one of those cap diffusers.. and for $40 i'm not sure if i'm using it correctly. I'm using the SB600 with a D40. Any comments?

[MaineGenealogy]

Would you happen to know why I would get red eye when I am using my 40D with an L bracket and a 580 EX2 flash unit? I have red eye reduction on, but for some reason it is still happening despite the fact that I have the flash mounted on a bracket above the camera. I have tried several lenses, but can't get a handle on it.  It happens with BOTH of my 40s and Canon doesn't seem to have a clue. Can you offer any suggestions?
