Omg now I'm confused.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

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?

[Lilkiwiguy87]

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).

[Spikes10546]

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

[Lilkiwiguy87]

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.

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

Thanks

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.

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.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

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)
