Thank you, you are by far, the best on teaching basics on CANON TIPS.....I have a T6, and only after your help, I've able to just start using some of the great features of my camera........You got a fan in Brazil.....
Ive been too embraced to admit that I could not figure out how to focus my mirror less digital camera....even on auotofocus. These video tutorials are going to be revolutionary for me.
Hi Paul. I only recently got into photography (at 46 years old!!) and after much reading I decided on the Canon 2000d after you reviewed and recommended it... just wanted to say a big thank you for all your you tube videos!! So clear and by far the easiest videos for learning the basics of photography. Thanks and please keep up the videos
Great to hear, thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment - so glad you're loving your new camera. Thanks for watching, so many more videos to come 😀
Thanks you for watching and supporting the Photo Genius channel - please like and comment as it really helps 👍 😀 Get your "ISO KEEP IT LOW" T-Shirt here : teespring.com/stores/photo-genius-5
I have had the issue with nearly the same settings that the halfway down option takes the photo and doesnt focus. Depending on the scene I am taking, light and all. Why does it do that??? Please answer
If a half press of the photo does not activate Auto Focus then it sounds like you have the AF turned of. Is their a switch on the side of the lens ? If so make sure it is not set to MF (which is manual focus), once switched to AF your problem should be solved. if you have a lens that does not have the switch then you will need to check focus mode settings on the camera. Hope that helps.
I haven't watched your videos in a while, but watching this made me realize why I started following you in the first place. I had no clue you could adjust the focus by turning the front part of the lense. Thank you for your amazing videos!
Welcome back Alicia - thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave your feedback. There is always something to learn so I'm glad you enjoyed the video and picked up another cool tip. Best wishes Paul 😀
I am new an have a DSLR Canon EOS and watched a lot of your videos and feel Manual is far better than Auto also waiting for my new Zoom 55-300 lense thank you I will keep watching
Ohhh, that's an amazing tip, I've never considered using the digital zoom to get your photo perfectly in focus, gonna try that as soon as my first DSLR arrives!
Thank you for this tutorial is so very knowledgeable to me. I got my cannon 2000d yesterday I'm beginner to take a photo but this vedio is very helpful to me.thank you😊. GOD BLESS YOU
I love videos that demystify relatively straitforward concepts. This opens the door for creative people to explore new mediums. What a great gift! People like you are the backbone of TH-cam!
Been watching your videos,thank you! I bought the t7/2000D and I’ve never really had a camera. I love all your videos and tutorials mostly because it seems that’s the camera you demonstrate. I have to admit it’s big learning curve and sometimes I have to watch the tutorials over again. It’s been a huge help. Went out to try twice and the second time I was much better
I've noticed the female model in a few of your videos and she is absolutely gorgeous! That being said, I have learned an awful lot from your tutorials, and really appreciate your work Paul
Thank you Paul! I've always stayed away from manual focus for fear of not getting it right, but with your instruction I can now do it! Love your channel!
Yet another thing I’ve learned. Thank you. Did not know the difference between the zoom and lens on the front. I’m just learning, I’m slow but I just practice and repeat. Your videos are so far the best to follow and understand. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your video! I realized how powerful my canon EOS 4000D really is because of you. I was having trouble getting my camera to focus on specific subjects. You unveiled a lot of hidden gems I didn’t know about as far as specs on the camera that allow us to zoom in closer to focus on our subject. Had a shoot today with a 50mm lens and the pics were beyond amazing. You’re the goat💪🏽
Thank you Paul, for clarifying the focus points. I was having a tad difficulty grasping the use of them on my Canon 2000 D DSLR. I have been watching your channel for 10 months, or so, and I learn something new every week... Thank you, John- Pennsylvania. USA
Thanks Paul. Great tutorial. Is this another way to simplify focusing: 1) choose a single focus point in the center, 2) line that point up with the object you want in focus, 3) half press the shutter, 4) move the camera to frame the desired shot (without removing your finger from the shutter), 5) take the shot. If this works, you never have to mess with changing the focus point. Looking for set it and forget it. Thanks. Tom F
I agree 100% that we can and should move beyond Auto but. I had my camera for months before I could use it properly as everyone said 'Oh use manual' 'Manual is the only way' and of course, being clueless I tried and failed horribly. So I never diss starting with auto, we just need videos like yours to take that step forward and have even more fun .
I love my mirrorless Canon it makes photography fun and it has so many cool features. thanks for the lessons and I can't wait until they are more geared to the new mirorless world.
I have recently purchased the canon eos t7 . And surfed the internet for tutorials. Yours came up and I immediately subscribed. Your videos are very good, you present the information clearly and not overly wordy. I look forward to seeing future videos . And improvement in my photos . Keep up the good work.
Great subject. My mom turned 60 in november and I wanted to make some nice pictures with my D3500 and the 35mm F1.8 (bought the lens used one and a half years ago). Everything went well until I noticed that the autofocus stopped working and I had to focus manually. I can still use the lens for astro but for portraits I ordered a brand new lens 😊
Thank Paul! I am a really bad newbie and can:t seem to get my head around using my first DSLR. Your videos are a huge help but I am still struggling with learning. I hope watching more of your super helpful videos will help.
Focus is one of my difficulties. Most of the time I try do do it through the visor but it is not always possible. My second approach is through the display and this is where I miss a sharp focus. I learned something here by using that button.
Thanks for this! Just got a manual focus 55mm 2,8 lens for my Nikon D750 and this is helping me a lot! I see your photos of the Windy City,,,I;'m a southside Chicagoan as well! :)
I have read a bit about back button focus, so would be interested in you views on this and whether it is worth switching to, as a possible future video topic. Enjoying the channel.
Love your videos. I learned a couple of things yesterday by watching them and applied them to my camera. I was at a hmm moment. Thank you for doing these helpful videos.
I used to be keen on photography with SLR cameras, but study and life got in the way. Now many years later my family have given me a Nikon DSLR . Your videos are brilliant, helping me to relearn all I had forgotten and guide me in the use of a digital SLR. Your explanations are very clear. Thank you so much!
Very clearly explained and demonstrated. Thanks for using both the Canon and Nikon cameras for the lesson. Great teacher. Great presenter. Always informative. Thanks again.
Camera guide is so interesting; mine is almost an year old; only today I learnt (Nikon 3500) about AF C. Thank you. Next time please guide about which lens to use in Nikon 3500 for street photography; also a few tips about street photography. Hope you will guide us. Thank you.
I am 49 year old, some two years ago I got one of my legs injured fir which I face difficulty in sprinting in the street. So which lens will be good, please take this into consideration. Should I take 70 -300 ED VR or 18- 55 VR. Please help!
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. The D70S is a great camera, but I hav etc be honest and say that as a much older model it is very unlikely that I would make a video specifically about this camera. I will say that most of the Nikon videos I have made will feature techniques and tips that will apply to your camera.
My first camera (Canon AT-1) was fully manual with a split prism making manual focus a breeze. I wish my Nikon D3500 had the same. My 60 year old eyes would welcome that feature again.
Awesome video as always Paul. One thing you mentioned is eye detection. I sure wish my camera had that. Hopefully soon I'll get to upgrade. I have enjoyed my entry level a lot for the last year.
Eye detection is amazing but not essential for taking good photos, enjoy the camera you have - technique and how you use the camera is more important the camera itself. Best wishes Paul.

No problem! Thanks for watching.
Thank you Paul! I've always stayed away from manual focus for fear of not getting it right, but with your instruction I can now do it! Love your channel!
Great to hear, thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
I've been learning so much about the camera I recently bought. I was lost trying to use the manual. Both photos are informative and easy to follow.

Wonderful video, you are a great instructor, I’ve learned a bunch from you…Thank-you!!!
You are so welcome Tony, thank you so much 😀
Hey Paul , really enjoying the videos! I don't suppose you could please do a video on one of the older nikons? (such as a d70s)
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. The D70S is a great camera, but I hav etc be honest and say that as a much older model it is very unlikely that I would make a video specifically about this camera.
I will say that most of the Nikon videos I have made will feature techniques and tips that will apply to your camera.
This is excellent Paul!! Thank you so much, again for your excellent tips for me in taking good pictures with my Nikon D5600!
Thanks! I learned that I can use digital zoom for focusing in live view. That's a really cool tip; and I look forward to experimenting with it!
Glad it was helpful Carolyn, thank you so much for the feedback and for supporting my channel.
You remined me of, that top right button. That I lost track of lately. Thanks.
Very helpful and easy to follow explanation. You've earned my sub
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for the great video. I learned how to focus on a moving subject, something I was intimidated by before watching this. Thank you so much.
Thanks, just what I am trying to learn on my first camera.
My first camera (Canon AT-1) was fully manual with a split prism making manual focus a breeze. I wish my Nikon D3500 had the same. My 60 year old eyes would welcome that feature again.
Thank you, Paul!! Your videos are always so helpful. This one was very helpful for me! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
You're very welcome Renee, thank you for supporting my channel.
Thanks!

Awesome video as always Paul. One thing you mentioned is eye detection. I sure wish my camera had that. Hopefully soon I'll get to upgrade. I have enjoyed my entry level a lot for the last year.
Eye detection is amazing but not essential for taking good photos, enjoy the camera you have - technique and how you use the camera is more important the camera itself.

Brilliant vid Paul, loads of great tips thanks 👍
