I love your guides, they have helped me improve my photography and use of my Canon 450D. I've just bought the G12 as a lighter weight camera to travel with, will you be doing any guides for this camera? Thank you for sharing all your expertise. Best wishes, Wendy

@mosaicwendy Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback. I do plan on making the video set for the Canon G12, but that will be for my new site, which is in development.

@lbguides Good luck with the new site, will you be posting a link or something I can find you on?

Many thanks

Wendy

@mosaicwendy absolutely. As soon as it's up, I'll link to it on my channel:)

My shutter speed in prgram mode never increases more than 1/60. This can only be achieved with large ISO like 800 and keeping the flash on. If I disable flash, the shutter speed is decreased to 0.5" or more. If I increase the ISO to lower value such us 80 or 200, the shutter speed decreases like 1" or more which is completely opposite to what your video describes. In your video it says if I decreases the ISO it will increase my shutter speed which is very opposite in my case. Please help

@kurakanier Hi. The difference between my case and yours is that in mine there is a lot more light. You're in a very low light situation and therefore the shutter speed is at 0.5" and 1". By using the flash, either with the flash set to auto or forced on, the shutter speed will default to 1/60 because the camera assumes the flash will provide all the necessary light. To increase the speed of the shutter, you should increase the sensitivity of the ISO. I hope that helps.

Your explanations are very clear and concise. The rate you give them is perfect. Your canon g10 videos have been a great help for me. Now I am able to finally understand digital cameras and especially my g10 much better, so I can get past the auto settings and on to more creative shots. Thanks so much for your patient and careful work. Well done!
