The simplest way to explain this is as follows: If you want to control motion blur you would set your shutter speed first, then adjust your aperture accordingly to control exposure. If you are looking to control depth of field you would set your aperture first then adjust your shutter speed. ISO is something you don't usually need to worry about unless you are pushing the camera outside of the limits of ISO 100. I leave mine on ISO 100 almost all the time and only increase it if I have no choice. The reality is most of the time you do not need to shoot in manual mode. You can shoot in aperture priority mode when you are looking to control depth of field and shoot in shutter priority mode when you are looking to control motion blur. Using these "semi auto" modes means you really only have to worry about one setting depending on what you are trying to achieve. I usually only drop into full manual mode if I am trying to do long exposure photography using ND filters or something else more advanced.
Great video! I like the tip that if you want to take a picture of a cat or dog to get down on the floor or ground on their level for a much better perspective.
New-ish to photography here.. I watched this video when I FIRST started learning about cameras and I still use these tips in EVERY shoot that I take. Tbh, I did't even remember that I learned most everything that i know about the technical aspects of photography from Shelby Church until a year later (now)
This video helped me so much! I studied photography for a-Level and will be studying photography at university next month but I’ve never actually learned any of this because my teacher was so bad. I can finally get more comfortable with taking the best photos I can. Thanks Shelby 😊❤️
I just watched a few videos of yours and you are such a great TH-camr giving proper information and in a great way! So thank you and I feel like I learned a lot with this one
I enjoyed watching these type of videos because you learn photography tips every day. I use to think why my photos don't look that good versus other people when we have the same camera model, that's when I knew that there are different settings on your camera and sometimes different lens gives you the perfect low f stop and higher iso. ❤
I started shooting professionally in 1974. Usually manual. On digital I shoot "almost manual". 1. I lock in the ISO to 100 or 200. 2. Shoot at the maximum aperture (1.2 - or 1.8 etc.) 3. Set the camera on Aperture Priority so that the exposure is adjusted by the shutter speed. 4. Leave the EV setting set to always be minus 1/3 stop (like shooting slide film) Full manual is great when there is no pressure, but at a wedding or one time event you will make mistakes when you are distracted during a high pressure shoot that can't be repeated so full manual is problematic. This gives shallow depth of field, good skin tones, and an image that will be good on every frame. If you get distracted on full manual you will wind up with frames over or under exposed and there is little to do to fix that. At weddings you will shoot several frames per minute non-stop for 2 to 4 hours. The really important thing is you can't re-shoot. Also shoot at the highest resolution (duh) and in the fine mode.
I'm a beginner at photography but have always had a love and "awe" for it. Right now I have a Canon EOS Rebel t6 and have been shooting in auto for some time but I want to switch to manual so I can be more creative. I've followed the steps on this video but my photos are coming out pitch black. If I want to shoot a portrait of someone on the beach during the day (lots of light) what are the best manual settings??
I love photography but still slowly learning, so this was sooo helpful! You explained everything so well and it got me more excited to use my camera :)
I just now found this video in my subscription box. TH-cam really has made it impossible to see videos unless you press the bell icon. So that‘s what I‘ve done! Your videos are really helpful! :)
Thanks for doing this video. It was done in a way that caused me to think of various situations where I would want to change these settings. Just got the Panasonic G85 and was completely lost. All I ever used before was an old Canon PowerShot ELPH 110HS in autofocus. Lol
This video literally helped me so much more to learn about photography! In your opinion: is buying the canon 80D 18-135mm a good camera for beginners? 💕
what DLSR camera would you recommend to someone who's new/a beginner to photography? Id really appreciate your advice! please make more videos like these, so helpful!
Miranda R (i know i’m not shelby but) I started on a Canon EOS Rebel t6 which was great to learn on. it’s a nice size and has everything you need to learn to start as a beginner.
Thank you for posting this video I found it really helpful!! If possible I would love to see a video where you show us how you use manual when photographing different things such as people, moving objects, and landscapes. I know you mentioned it in this video but sometimes I get confused when I go to use it in a real life setting. Thanks :)
I'm so glad you made this video! I've always tried to understand these settings but i could never find a video that explained it as good as you did. I've been shooting in auto for 3 years already and i can't wait to try these tips! Love you!
What camera would you recommend upgrading to i have a canon reble t6 now and have been doing photography for the past year and im looking to upgrade what would you recommend?
Cassandra Mostad it’s more about the glass in front of the sensor. Get some higher end lens if you don’t already. If you already do look at the t7i or the eos 77d or 80d
Native ISO is your base ISO. So the lowest ISO your camera can go. For yours it would be ISO 100. ISO 200, 400, 800, are full stops. ISO 200 will give you double the light than ISO 100. ISO 400 will give you double the light that ISO 200 will, and so on. It's also the thing you'd want to set first.
For a first “cheap” nice camera for photos & video, research the Canon SL2. Small DSLR for portability, updated system, & still uses the same sensor has a lot of higher up cameras.
I would recommend Sony mirrorless cameras like the A6000, A6300 or A6500. I have the A6000 and have had it for about 3 years. It is my go to camera now and that is despite having a Canon 70D in the house which is a much more expensive camera.

This is awesome Shelby! I love how your content has been camera-focused lately. I feel like your passion has been so cool to see :)

This was just what I needed! I have just bought a new camera x
this video is freaking amazingly helpful!!! thank you so much Shelby
I live for this! Thanks Shelby 💕 ILYSSSSSM 💟 💟💟
Just got a camera. This helps a lot. Thanks 📷
What camera do you recommend for beginners? (just for taking photos)
Your phone. It takes pretty good images for everyday pictures. If you want to most control then a low end DSLR or mirrorless camera.
I recommend Canon EOS 2000D for begginers because it has a decent resolution 6000x4000 and it's pretty cheap
What are good cameras for beginners? I've been looking for a while. Maybe under 270 dollars?
Thanks so much for the video Shelby! Really helps me out when I’m learning how to use my Nikon DSLR :)
what DLSR camera would you recommend to someone who's new/a beginner to photography? Id really appreciate your advice! please make more videos like these, so helpful!

How did you get into photography??
did you use the 80D or 5D to record this video? sorry if you mentioned it in this video, i must've missed it if so.. thanks!
Love this video!
OMG THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANKYOUUUUU
How do you shoot pictures at night and make sure that there is enough light without the flash shadows?
I'll be doing a night photography video soon!
Michelle Anastacio having an external flash and a defuser really helps with things like that!
Hi Shelby, what camera do you use?
Thank you this was really helpful!!
Is an Nikon D3400 a good beginner photography camera? 💗 love ur videos xx
Deanne's Lifestyle yes it is! I learned on a 3200/3400! Very beginner friendly and very straightforward!
I have the D3200 and it was so easy to use :)
I inherited a nikon d7000, it's good so far.
Yarii Iglecias are the pictures looking good?
What are good beginner cameras?
Canon 80D
For a first “cheap” nice camera for photos & video, research the Canon SL2. Small DSLR for portability, updated system, & still uses the same sensor has a lot of higher up cameras.
Melissar2913 my first camera was a nikon d3400 and i thought it was pretty good for beginning
i just bought nikon d5600 and it’s pretty good
