I'm a beginner in photography and I've been watching A LOT of tutorials on youtube. This might just be the single most well-made out of all of them. I'm genuinely amazed by how much useful information was condensed into this video in a concise and comprehensible manner. Great job!
I literally feel the exact same way. I can't agree more. I grabbed a camera, grabbed a lens, took a few shots and wondered why they were all dark, grainy, and not crisp. This video answered like all of those questions lol.
I took photos for my friend at her reception and ended up with such grainy photos I wanted to cry!! Thank you for posting this! Sooo helpful! Understanding the relationship between shutter speed and ISO is such a game changer! Love your simple/straightforward explanation!
If you've set the correct aperture and shutter speed for the effect you want, having your ISO too low will result in an underexposed shot. You will get more noise trying to fix the underexposure in post, than you would have, if you'd used the correct ISO, even if it's "high". If you have to use ISO 12,000 to get the exposure right, use ISO 12,000. It is almost ALWAYS better to get the exposure right, in the camera, than to try to fix it, in post.
I know your comment is 3 years old, but I have to say, I am learning photography right now and reading this helped me get my head out of the sand. I did a photoshoot with my sister at her college graduation, and my pictures were so grainy. I was so mad at myself I wanted to scream for days. Knowing I am not the only one who suffered through this helps a lot to keep me going.
Jason Vong explains things in such a simple way! I've watched TONS of other pro TH-cam channels on photography from other Pros yet Jason tells things that even an amateur like myself, who barely understands things like F-stops, can follow what Jason is saying. Thanks, dude for being generous with your time to make these helpful tutorials and yes I am now a subscriber!
Although i already understand the basics of ISO/aperture/shutter speed, i found this video a helpful refresher particularly the explanation about why sometimes at low apertures the shot can end up out of focus. Cheers Jason!
I just consumed your street photography video (hour and something long) and now this back to back and I feel like I've been watching for only like 10 min... your content is so good, informative. I am still learning without my camera (hoping to get my Sony a7IV soon) and I cant believe this type of material is free. Thanks man, people like me appreciate this so very much. Greetins from Costa Rica !
Jason I'm new to photography, this is the best video I've watched explaining these concepts.(I watched A LOT) Thank you for the effort and quality videos
Wow! the way you explain things clearly and with simple words and even adding illustrations is so helpful! been watching many videos and got lost with all these magical terms. Finally someone who gets us beginners who have no notions to find a good starting point! Thank you Jason!
You explained this in a way where I can finally 'click' with why ISO and shutter speed can go hand in hand with color/brightness. THANKS !!! I'm sloooooooowly getting all these little thing to make sense.
Hey man, don't cry....I care about your content, you are one of the youtuber that I learn to use my A6500! And now, I learn every day a little bit more on my A7SIII !!!!! Great upgrade for low light picture!!!! Thanks Jason!
holy God, Holy God!! This man doesn't even know what he's done for me. This is so easy to understand, over 2 years and I couldn't get dof, shu8tter speed or appr correctly. This does it!! Thanks man.
Awesome video I knew pretty much everything he said he explained/demostrasted better than most videos I've ever seen. Very refreshing I wish I saw this one when I first started
My boy…. Yes I feel like you’re my boy now since I’ve spent hours watching you the last couple of days. THANK YOU!! I really love and appreciate your content ❤️
This is the best video i have every seen on explaining the settings. thank you for your expertise. as a armature, i am wanting to get more into my new camera and your videos help
Great video as you identified some issues not often discussed. The one thing you didn’t mention with depth of field was that distance matters, though your example with the Mario carts actually illustrated it. Because you were really close it took a really narrow aperture to bring everything into focus, which actually is desirable with certain types of photography. That tripped me up, especially when I upgraded to a full frame camera.
This the first video that, 'literally' showed what the depth of field means. Hats off to such a brilliant video and the scholarly explanation. Subscribed!
As a visual learner, this video was godsent. The depth of field explanation using the lines on the tablet matched what I had imagined in my head when listening to other explanations but you now just confirmed it in a way that I was not expecting a TH-camr to do. Thank you!
I'm definitely learning something new, I never realized that the shutter speed is one of the main reasons I get really blurry looking photos. Thank you for teaching us.
Jason, I have been studying photography since 2016 and I still come back to this rule and lesson for my baseline setup when I'm dialing in my camera and either swapping in a new lens or working in new environments.
I am learning photography.Even though I don't have a camera, I enjoy watching your videos. You teach me clearly. I am eager to buy a camera and learn more. Thank you soo much
Oh Man... One of the easiest explanation to understand I have seen around... Aperture concept was on to the point and clear.... I am still on Aperture Prio mode till now. Now I can switch to Manual mode with more confidence..Thanks @Jason Vong.
Hi Jason... I'm a noob photographer and your videos are the most awesome vids I've seen breaking down everything technical thing to something I can really understand ... Thanks again...
Such precise, simple, easy-to-understand explanation. And the simple clarification on using manual mode at the end there, makes you, sir, a GOOD content creator. Much love from Malaysia
Straight and to the point. That's why you're the best. Other photo TH-camrs talk for so long about their own personal lives. Thanks for letting us know the facts.
@@JasonVong You should also include explanation of when the subject is further away from the camera, then DoF gets larger, so i.e. shooting at f1.4 will have different DoF depending on how far the subject is from the camera. I assume you know that, right...?
I am so damn glad I found your channel. You explained clearly what others haven't. I'm annoyed at TH-cam because I have looked up a lot of photo videos before, and I'm just now finding your channel, but better late than never, I guess.
i like how you explain it sir, im newbie in photography and i still using auto mode hehe, i keep searching for this kind of video tutorial for me to learn in manual mode. thanks ser
Thank you for this video! Going through a photography college course, our professor gave us the run down on all the important things so that we could manual all our settings. However, she forgot to mention the difference between shutter speed minimums of focal lengths being DIFFERENT between full and crop censor cameras. As well, your explanation of DOF for aperture really helped me understand photographing moving subjects during my street photography.
Thank you Jason. The blogs are rife with hostile photographers who belittle ppl with snark and sarcasm. I don’t peruse them anymore. Mastering photography comes down to practice with your camera. What’s cool is not having to deal with film. We can see our mistakes rather quickly on the back screen or a transfer of pics to an iPad. I’d like to see a video discussing the many menus on my new A7III. Yep it’s pretty daunting going back and forth for a given shot. But it’s worth it. 👍
You thought me something new. I did a portrait photo shoot recently. I was using f1.7. And using face tracking AF. The nose was often in focus and eyes slightly off. Next time I’ll choose the tiny box pinpoint AF to get right at the eyes. Also, a video idea for you. Show how different focal length lenses will show background closer or farther. (I’m not talking about depth of field focus). I’m talking about how if you shoot a portrait in 35mm the background will seem very far away and small. If you switch to 100mm the background is compressed and closer / larger in the background. I only understood this recently after years of shooting photos, so I know many beginner photographers don’t know this. I believe it is called Lens Compression. Cheers!
I looked at various videos before i got to this one. you were the best in explaining the camera functions. Hooray. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Awesome refresher.
Thank you for taking time making this great video. I'm a victim of the miss focus and now I understand it more. Loved the Depth of Field explanation. Wrote down all your steps and will keep it in my phone's notes.
04:35 is gold! Much appreciated. Thanks for explaining and especially showing (moving the camera back and forth) it to me as I was 5 years old 😄 I mainly do car photography and sometimes I have a detail (a badge for example) in focus, but the grill is partially blurry.
I have watched your videos about 8 times as more I watched the more I learn I’m new to photography just got my Sony 6000 well I bought it last year but I haven’t got time to play around now I been getting much better thanks to you manual is a lot easier to me like I said it thanks to you god bless you brother
I've always search in Jason's YT channel before i search anywhere else to learn things about photography. Specially if it involves sony camera. Thanks Jason.

Same here 😭 it was my first debut photoshoot .. i messed up 😭 but thanks to this vid ...i finally understand how to easily get sharp shots ..
If you've set the correct aperture and shutter speed for the effect you want, having your ISO too low will result in an underexposed shot. You will get more noise trying to fix the underexposure in post, than you would have, if you'd used the correct ISO, even if it's "high".

One of the best, concise videos on this topic. So many other videos and creators don’t get to the point or cover the content properly
Jason I'm new to photography, this is the best video I've watched explaining these concepts.(I watched A LOT)
Thank you for the effort and quality videos
Been trying to learn these concepts for over a decade on TH-cam. I am not a photographer, and this is the absolute best explanation ever!
Happy to hear that, Lauren! Good luck!!

Jason, I have been studying photography since 2016 and I still come back to this rule and lesson for my baseline setup when I'm dialing in my camera and either swapping in a new lens or working in new environments.
I check my histogram quite often while shooting. It helps ensure me I have proper exposure. Ty for your video!
Amazing information. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Hi Jason... I'm a noob photographer and your videos are the most awesome vids I've seen breaking down everything technical thing to something I can really understand ... Thanks again...
Your explanation of depth of field is spot on and a clear layman term so anyone can understand easily

Handsdown the best explanation ever. Thank you sooo much.
Amazing. Easy to understand. Brilliant teaching skills. Thank you
Newbie here and this is the best video so far explaining the basics! Thankss!!!
Going on a date Saturday, definitely using everything I learned as we hit the town
Jason Vong. I knew there was a reason why I subscribed to you. Your explanation of shallow depth of field, was awesome. Keep it up Bro.
Straight and to the point. That's why you're the best. Other photo TH-camrs talk for so long about their own personal lives. Thanks for letting us know the facts.
The way you explained depth of field really clicked. That's perfect. Thanks!
took me years for it to click! glad it helped!
@@JasonVong You should also include explanation of when the subject is further away from the camera, then DoF gets larger, so i.e. shooting at f1.4 will have different DoF depending on how far the subject is from the camera. I assume you know that, right...?
No. It is still not clear, sorry
@@JasonVong Nice one
Hii
Such a great video, it was really helpful to me and starting my photography journey. Thank you so much.

This video helps to understand the depth of field 😊 thank you.
Watched this video about a year ago and I love being able to watch this again as a refresher. Great content as always, keep it up!
Finally understand why its called shallow depth of field. Your explanation finally made me understand!
what a nice video.. I got a new sony a6400 and i watched all ur videos. i learned so many things. thank u very much.
This is such a great video. I'm not a noob, but I'm helping some new photographers and definitely sharing it with them. Thank you!

Great explanation to help understand aperture!!
Great video. It makes it easy to understand
Great explanations for beginners! Thanks Jason!
Thank you for correcting me! I've been scratching my head for a while not realising it was the focus mode I was using. Saved me!
Love the way you explained The depth of field , your a great teacher , Thank You
I’d totally join your photography class if you had one! Your explanation with actual live examples are so helpful.
You've made this so easy to understand! Time to get into full manual mode and give this a try! Thanks
This is by far the best and easiest to understand video tutorial! Thank you!
