Just finding this video, and described perfectly simple to fix an issue. Problem solved! More videos should be like this.
2 minutes in and I found a solution to my camera. It was off for a while and I couldn't find anywhere to fix it! I'm so happy :D
Glad to help!
THANK YOU! EASY to understand, EASY to follow. I have had the D3300 for a year and really need more understanding, especially with flash photography. Lighting seems to be an issue, indoors, with aux flash, aimed at ceiling, still has too much light. Using camera flash, can have same effect. This is where I have most of the issues which prevent clear and memorable photos. You might even have such a video. I will subscribe and follow and look for appropriate videos you have created. Thanks again!! Appreciated.
Godlike! Thanks. This is the easy video I needed to fix my camera!
Glad it helped!
This video was extremely helpful, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you ! Great presentation, quick, precise. I am now going out to take fall landscape pics.
Enjoy!
Great help! Been years and you taught me alot in mins
Glad to help
Thank you for this tutorial! I thought I knew my camera until I saw this! I've been trying to learn how to calibrate both lenses that came with it because my teen used it at school and now both lenses go out of focus after 5 min of shooting without fail. ugh! You have a new subscriber on here and follower on IG too! You do such amazing photography on your IG!
Courtney Cates glad to help and thanks for following along Courtney! And glad you like my photos 😊
Thank you so much for the video! You've saved me.
Mohammed glad to help!
Thank you so much! I had no idea there was a way for me to see better through the viewfinder. I don't know how I missed it. 😄
Same. But learned that on Jared Polin's video. It was really so helpful!
I have a Nikon D3300 that i use to shoot videos, love your content man!
Appreciate it!
This Is The Best Basics Ever. Quality Content ehh..
Much appreciated!
If you can't move the focus points in view finder mode, change your AF-area mode to single-point AF 😊
Thank you!
Thanks for putting this together, Ben. It's helpful. So I thought the box in the live view was for exposure metering. Does it do that as well as set the area for focus? Also, when focusing in the viewfinder - moving that red dot means you are using single-point AF. Am I thinking correctly here?
Thank you so much for the video. I found solution for my issue. I am happy 😀
Glad it helped
Great video Ben! I'm still using that camera exactly with the 18-55mm lens!
Thanks man! Its a heck of a set up for the price. Been loving your vlogs/build by the way...keep it up!
thanks!!! it helped .
Great video!
Thanks!
Very informative for beginners, ty.
Very welcome!
OMG thank you very much, first time my camera stopped focusing I took it back to the shop he pressed a bug and it was sorted, then it happened again....well I can’t keep going back to pc world now can I!? Thank you so very much, I can now sort it myself ✌🏾 + 💜
great vid,i use now also the d3300 with the 18-55mm lens but it doesnt have AF but it works well. love the info now i can start taking better pictures

Awesome I learned to new things about my camera one I had no idea that you can calibrate it to your eyes which is awesome because I do wear glasses and have terrible eyesight LOL and two it is great to know about the live view mode I Haven’t played around with that yet only view finder
Glad you can see clearly now! :)

Andile Simelane glad it helped.

You bet!
I juts bought my D3300 a couple of weeks ago and i love it but when i look through the viewfinder and its focussed I won’t hear the beep ( i have tried moving backwards or closer to the subject) but when i switch it to live view i can hear the beep. I have looked up so many videos and i just cant find an answer on how i get the beep to sound when im looking through the view finder. When i just bought it the beeb would sound but now it just doesn’t anymore. Hope you can help me!!
Thank you for this. I just switched over from using Canon and I was getting really blurry images. I watched tutorials before but there was way too much info in between just spitting it out.
Glad this helped!
Hello. I just bought a (used) Canon D3300 and I cannot find one specific setting. I would like to have the light meter on my display on live view mode, but I don't know what settings to change in order to have that. Any help would be appreciated :)
Hi. Just bought D3300. It came with 2 lenses. One Nikon 18.55 and a Sigma 15.. 200. When I zoom out, how do I focus with the lense.? If you know what I mean. I still have my Sony cybershot with fixed lense. Had some great shots ,bu jtthought hw1
Is it possible to shoot time-lapse video in Nikon D3300, if yes then please provide information please 🙏
My 3300’s attachment lens won’t move. I used to be able to adjust it easily. I think it used to be set on 55 now it’s stuck somewhere around 34-24? Can you help? And what should I mostly have my camera dial set to for regular everyday classroom photos?
Hi Bro. I'm using Nikon D3300. In AF mode. And whenever I press the button to take pic unable unless I press and turn slightly the sharpness ring at the lense
If I don't hear the auto focus or green box and the lens is on A, I'm I still doing something wrong or is it malfunctioning?
So helpful! I probably messed up all my settings real bad. I’ve had my camera for a few years and when I take the picture there’s two snaps. One quick and then there’s a slow pause and then it snaps again for the final picture. Not sure how I did that but I’d love to make it go away ...
Larson Family what mode are you using? If the shutter speed is long that can happen. Are you in manual?
Ben Maund I am using manual mode and I tried a bunch of different shutter speeds I’m not sure what I did but it’s quick now. I want to get the Nikon 50mm AF-S 1.8 for indoor portraits of my daughter so I’m trying to figure this out haha
Larson Family set your camera to aperture priority mode. It’s the A on the mode dial (move it from M to A). Then, set your aperture to the smallest number possible (it will be somewhere close to f2.8). Here’s how to change the aperture (m.th-cam.com/video/7HRgLfAvR34/w-d-xo.html). After that, focus as described in this video and you should be all set.

Why when i zoom in my photos seem blurry i use to zoom in no problems for further subject's
May i ask how would you know if the lens has a defect..it has no manual switch to turn on af or mf..
Back Button Focus and I never looked back!
What is back button focus and how do you set it up on this camera
❤
I haven't changed my lens and I still have the 18-55mm but it doesn't have the auto or manual focus switch on my lens?
Do you have the "kit lens?" You may have manual focus, only.
Can you help me on figuring out the correct settings for a landscape picture
Alicia Pacheco there’s a lot of different ways to shoot landscape...if you’re just starting out, I’d start with an fstop around f16, an ISO under 400, and set your shutter speed to expose properly. Focus on the lower 1/3rd. Tripods can also be handy depending on your shutter speed. Some more advanced techniques include HRD, focus stacking, and using graduated ND filters. There’s plenty of TH-cam videos on each of those. Hope this helps! -Ben
👍
i bought my camera and just using the 18-55 mm objective it came with and i do not have the switch on the objective itself,.why? does it depends on when i boughht it, or does it matter at all?
Not sure what you're asking buddy.
Any advice on settings for sports photos with this camera ?
Fast shutter speed!
Do I have to purchase another different lens for that auto focus button there's no auto focus button on my Nikon d330 please help thank you
The Great Mumbai Foodie what lens do you have? Some lenses do not have auto focus.
@@benmaundvisuals I have the same problem. With a Nikon len DX AF-P NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 G, without Auto Focus. What can i do in video? Thank you Ben :)
Can anyone help me out viewfinder is greyed out how can i fix it
Sorry if a stupid question…did you say that is the 18 55? What is added to the lens, or what lens is it? Mine is the DX 18 to 55 and does not look like this at all
I have the 3300 and the lens that came with it
Cheers
Great video
This is the 18-55 kit lens.
How do I get the icons back that were on the top of the viewfinder ? Something changed in my settings and now they aren't there.
hmmm not sure. Did you find the solution?
Hi. Just bought D3300. It came with 2 lenses. One Nikon 18.55 and a Sigma 15.. 200. When I zoom out, how do I focus with the lense.? If you know what I mean. I still have my Sony cybershot with fixed lense. Had some great shots ,but I thought I would try separate lense lynn
Not sure I understand.
Hi ben , can you please suggest a prime lens for nikkon d3300
I do not have any primes so I can't recommend. I would say it depends on the type on photography though. 50mm and 35mm are pretty versatile.
What you recommend to use Live view or Eye view ?
Enachi it really depends on what I’m shooting. I prefer using the eye view and auto focus!
When captured on manual..everything goes blank and the camera doesn't respond😒...until it's restarted again
Nice video thank you, you can say me, what lens are good and cheap for Macrophotography (insects), or birds photography ?
Not sure on the macro but I had a 70-300 for awhile and loved it for birds!
This is a great camera but i want my focus to be faster but the camera is great in low light so that's a plus
It's a great entry level camera! Love it.
Saya ingin sekali punya kamera seperti ini....
Cheers mate
Where’s the video of the same camera adjusting the settings?

Hi. I have a problem with my camera's AF-S and AF-F. When I set it into Live View, the shutter won't release. However, when I switch it to MF, the camera works. May I ask what seems to be the problem with the auto-focus in this case? Any action you may suggest will be much appreciated. This is the first time I encountered this problem. P.S. My cam is Nikon D3300. Thanks & GOD bless!
Daisyree Lorraine Jamito How close are you to what you’re trying to focus on? Sometimes it won’t grab focus in AutoFocus mode if you’re too close to the subject. Is it beeping and grabbing focus with the box turning green?
@@benmaundvisuals I'm afraid it's not beeping anymore, like what it used to before.. though the box is turning green but the shutter is so hard to press, it won't release.. Unlike before when I use Live View with Auto Focus, I just do long press, and it's not working this time. Also, I consider proximity when shooting to make sure I am not too close to my subject.
@@benmaundvisuals Thank you so much for the reply Sir.
Daisyree Lorraine Jamito hmm you may have me stumped 🤔 have you tried searching google? If not, give Nikon a call!
@@benmaundvisuals Yes Sir, I've already tried to google my concern. I'll try reaching Nikon. Thanks you so much for the help :) More power! ;)
Hi,
I bought d3300 and I took my baby photos and it's not very clear specially the face.. I don't know why
What lens? Have you followed the video?
i own a d3200 nikon but i want autofucs while im making a vlog.. but i can't ,, please help sir..
You may be too close. Also, the camera doesnt technicaly autofocus, you still have to hold in the shutter release halfway.
@@benmaundvisuals no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭 , Now I have to replace my camera 😎
Hi, I need a good lens for mi Nikon D3300, but no more than $450. Can you help me? 😭😬
What are you using it for?
How large can 3300 image can be printed???
I have a metal 24x36 that looks fabulous. Thats probably pushing it, though.
Sir jpg photo sher video setting
My Nikon D3300 won't focus.. like at all. Can't take pictures. Sometimes it won't even let me switch to 'Live View'!
I have absolutely NO idea what to do... Can't find any fixed online 😭😭
Maybe someone can chime in?
Live view is a battery killer
So I put my setting on raw and now I can’t see my pictures when I add them to my laptop lol I’m a mess 😂
Larson Family ahhhhh do you need to use a plug in?
If recommend changing from RAW to JPEG + RAW. That's how I keep track of my images.
Why$
Just bought one for $40
Awesome deal!
