The lessons that are provided in this video is standard with SLR cameras (not digital point & shoots). If you're still confused then we're sorry, we can't help. Take proper photography courses to learn more about the basics.
@Lilkiwiguy87 I get the ISO, shutter speed etc, but the EV bit just completely lost me. I was thinking of getting a bridge camera, would I still be able to use it well if I don't understand EV?
Ah, this video might help: youtube.com/watch?v=cNJTR-Dj_cA
Most point & shoots don't have EV Compensation but some do. You don't have to worry about EV Compensation if you plan to use manual exposure (setting shutter speed, aperture, and ISO manually).
Yes, that is correct, EV saves you time when working in automatic modes (A-S-P only). In S mode, EV affects the aperture and ISO. In A mode, EV affects the shutter speed and ISO. in P mode, EV affects aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
However, in M mode, you will have to adjust the camera's exposure settings manually after dialing in the EV Compensation.

so as i understand EV comp is totaly useless, because, as you told, to + a stop shutter, we up by +1 EV, in other words we can simply change the shutter speed... is it so lame, or im not getting the point of this... Ev comp is basicly uneeded, like you cant shoot HDR without EV comp? just shoot via only changing the shutter speed.
You do sound lost, please take a look at our EV Compensation video on this channel by search. That video will explain more into depth about what EV Compensation have to offer and what it is really meant for.
This vid is great, so far i know how to use "A" and "S" controls and a little of "M," but one thing that I'm having a lot of trouble with is ISO. I don't get it even though I've watched this video countless of times I'm still not getting it.
Is ISO a thing that has to be set for great quality or can you just leave it as is?
EV is the most confusing. I know its very useful in mode P/A/S. cuz I can set what i don't want to change and let EV to drop the stops. But what happen if i m using M. Does it not going to help me out if I m on M? or how does it work
EV Compensation doesn't work automatically in Manual Mode unlike other exposure modes, which requires you to make the change to the meter manually by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed (and ISO sensitivity if preferred).
Let me put it this way, EV on P / S / A modes are like driving automatic transmission car. EV on M mode are like driving fully manual transmission car.
Yeah?
We have a detailed video on EV Compensation coming up someday.
Adjusting the EV Compensation on the camera does not affect the flash to change the EV Comp., you are required to adjust the EV Comp. on the flash separately and manually.
Plain, simple, clear, and skillfully presented. You are an excellent teacher! Thanks for the advice. One single video explains more than several books. Thank you!
Yes, using positive EV compensation numbers (for example, +1.3EV) will allow you to use slower shutter speed, depending on what EV stop you set on your camera EXCEPT it will result in brighter exposure. If you wish to use slower shutter speed, you would have to decrease the aperture for same amount of stops.
For example, 1/60s at F/4, you want two stops down, it becomes 1/30s... 1/15s at F/5.6... F/8. 1/30s at F/8 delivers same exposure. It is called Exposure Balancing.
Omg now I'm confused.

I agree with many others, a well presented, comprehensive and insightful tutorial. Really helps me a lot
Thanks

For EV, basically the EV option allows for a more convenient way to increase/decrease light, without hassling with the ISO/Aperture/Shutter Speed?
Or do we still have to pay attention to those fixtures (more specifically for M-mode)?
*Side note I have a D5000

LastAnthony 2 years ago
The ISO / ASA do not have anything to do with the quality, it is simply light sensitivity.
The higher number you use equals to faster shutter speeds / lower apertures / more grain.
The lower number you use equals to slower shutter speeds / higher apertures / less grain.
I suggest you practice it on your camera by changing the ISO in M mode WITHOUT changing the exposure - see how the meter reads differently.
But watch out for grain at very high ISO sensitivities (6400, 12,800, or 25,600)

great vid...is it possible to use EV comp to shoot slower shutter speeds?
does EV comp physiclly speed up/ slow down the shutter or are the changes proccessed some other way using the cameras "brain"

I am in middle of learning and no quite understand the what "stop" mean. It is have any relation with Lens VR "stop"?
fookfah 3 years ago
Yes, VR offers slightly more stops and let's see here. A stop represents one full change in the aperture, for example...
F/2.8 > F/4 > F/5.6 > F/8 > F/11 > F/16 > F/22 > F/32
If you want 1/2 stop in the aperture change, for example, F/2.8 > F/3.2-3.5 (depending on lens) just before F/4.
Cool, huh?

Flourescente is warmen than incandescent? its thats correct?
andreyfuentes 3 years ago
In the real science of color temperatures, yes that is correct.
But, for DSLR's, it is the opposite.
