Take Photos On AV Mode! Stop Shooting On Manual!

- AV Mode Is Better. Stop shooting on manual. This is why I use Aperture Priority a lot of the time, especially when I'm in a natural light situation and I'm shooting a model trying to shoot outside and go quick. I always default to aperture priority. See when I use aperture priority and the camera settings I use when I'm outside chasing the sun, trying to shoot quick and get nice images. #Aperture, #AVMode

I think the mark of a experienced photographer is knowing which mode works best for you under the circumstances. Aperture priority works great, except when it doesn’t. Being overly dogmatic isn’t particularly helpful, and what works for you isn’t necessarily the answer for everyone else.
Very true. Thanks for your comment!
I think what he’s trying to explain is there are other options that may help some.
I only listen to youtube
@@jessemartinez2606 Lol.
...as for the reason you are watching this video in the first place, thats to see what actully works for you. 👍
Heard this explained several times. But the way you explained it, it all made sense. Tyvm for this video.
Very applicable in brighter light. I've been using this much more lately for the reasons you point out. It can get problematic when in lower light and your shutter speed drops below acceptable handheld speed if you're not paying attention and upping the ISO accordingly.
Very true. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This is a super helpful tip. I had no idea it can be that easy. I will be practicing these skills to improve.
Great video, thank you JP
You are welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Very good advice for beginning photographers thanks!. Choose your artistic goal and use the mode that lets you get there. Usually Shutter or Aperture priority gets the job done.
Well said. Thanks for sharing!
You just became my new favourite based on this video alone! Thank you sir!
Great video and thanks for your perspective. The sunset photos with the bridge and cars are stunning
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
I've been into photography for a long time and embarrassed to see how frustrated I've been since the cameras have come out with so many automatic settings... without looking to a channel like this for help! For the last few years, it seems that the cameras have constantly been fighting me to counteract what I'm trying to do. Just seeing that simple triangle makes such sense to understand how the auto-iso setting is fighting me. You're a great teacher and appreciate your hard work!
Glad to hear! Thanks for your comment!
This's a really fanstastic video. I believe you've sold me on the Av mode. Thanks for this.
Great to hear! Enjoy shooting in AV mode!
I just started to do this, but I also use exposure compensation dial. Works well. Less thinking and fiddling with the camera. Good video. Thanks
You are welcome. Thanks for your comment!
Such a great video; really appriciate your insightful knowledge and willingness to share with others. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!
Great stuff, JP. Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for good information on how to used AV mode . Love it 😍 I am asked to take pictures on July for a friend wedding 💒 I will try your technique for sure ! First time to do this for the wedding.
Good luck. Hope it worked out well for the wedding.
Thank u brother so much. U have no idea how much this helps
So glad you found it helpful!
I think some get so hung up on shooting in Manual and if we don’t…… we think we are less of a photographer. I know I’ve felt this way myself at times because years of educating myself you are taught to learn manual mode as the ultimate goal. But this is not the case in all situations. I’m learning to be more flexible and change things up and not be so stuck in manual mode. Thanks for your always fantastic information!
Totally agree. With all the improvements in cameras we might as well take advantage of the camera abilities!
Great advice. I shoot manual a lot but, there are times where AV is my go to.
Good to hear. Thanks for your comment!
Wonderful Stuff Mr Morgan Thank You.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
I completely agree with this video title. My camera is also mostly in Av mode because of changing conditions with most of my shoots (unless I'm using strobes).
Totally agree. Thanks for sharing!
I wish I had watched this video 2 days ago. I tried to shoot my baby brother's graduation on manual yesterday. I got some good shots but I missed some really good ones because I couldn't adjust my camera fast enough. Thank you for the video!
Glad you found the video helpful! Too bad you missed some good shots.
I loved the way you tracked it.. its like watching a stock market 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
This was a good video. Will use the knowledge on my 80d and G7x ii
Have fun with your shoots!
So useful. Many thanks for that!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!
The only video that made sense to me instantly. 👍
Glad you found it worthwhile! Thanks for watching!
Great tips thanks
The thing here is that even if you are in aperture priority mode you are still in control of shutter speed via exposure compensation and same with shutter priority.
The camera picks it's best guess shutter speed for the scene and the user adds an offset either positive or negative, usually up to three stops.
The semi automatic modes are still manual if you want to treat them that way. Manual mode just disables the camera from trying to render the scene as grey.
Good points. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the framework of thinking control 2 of 3. and willingness to share your knowledge. Any videos on depth of field and how it changes depending on your distance to the subject?
That is a great lesson topic that I have been considering. Thanks for your comment!
Just awesome night shot. Great explanation on the auto. Still trying to digest how it's done exactly. Maybe make a beginner light streak night photo tutorial? I just got my new tripod and my first DSL. Canon T6i. Love it so far, just learning learning learning. Just got back from a photo drive into the rocky mountains and took 200 shots and played with all tge settings to see what happens. All RAW. I'm learning darktable to post edit. Wish me luck. Git some good stuff for sure. 😊
That sounds awesome. Enjoy the journey!
Really thankful for this information...
Great to hear. Thanks for watching!
I used to shoot on Av all the time but now since I upgraded to R5 I've been experimenting with Fv which on aperture priority gives the camera the power to change ISO and shutter speed automatically. Seems to work pretty good!
Yep fv mode is very flexible as the name says
Sounds like a good approach. Thanks for your comment!
I had to do some photography for my job at a farmers market during the early bright morning. It was so bright that I just couldn't adjust the setting constantly on manual. I switched over to AV and saved everyone so much time LOL. And I was able to capture more moments for the company.
Great to hear. You are the perfect example for why I think AV Mode is awesome.
Excellent run through!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
Really good advice, I've been using aperture priority recently and it's so helpful and quick. The only trouble I had is when having to add fill flash or not having enough ambient light. The camera gets a bit crazy when adding the flash so I went back to manual then.
I agree. When using flash I shift to manual as well!
Very useful information! :)
Have a nice week!
Thank you! You too! And thanks for watching!
I mistakenly switched to av mode unknowingly while try to switch to manual, am never going back to manual, the pictures are so beautiful and white, am here to learn more about the mode.
A happy accident! Thanks for watching!
I shoot A(perture) P(riority) for natural light only. I use Manual as well but a lot of the time I use AP if I'm not using flash during the day if there's enough light.
I think it's really important to note that if your camera doesn't automatically apply A(uto) E(xposure L(ock) it is needed. When you focus and recompose with AP, if AEL isn't turned on ,as soon as you recompose, wherever you end up pointing the camera is what AP is going to base its exposure on, NOT where you initially established focus. But when you establish your focal point and engage AEL, it will keep its meter reading for that focal point BEFORE you recompose, which is very important. A lot of cameras engage AEL automatically when using Aperture Priority, though, so those people don't need to worry about it. Find out if yours does. That's how AP will be used properly.
Great point. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Interesting. I shoot in M with auto ISO. I've gotten used to it since the original 6D handles noise so well, I just make sure it doesn't fall out of range. Sometimes it goes down to 100 ISO and my shot is blown out when the sun comes out, so I will give AV a try. I used to use it all the time and I stopped to get more precision over my shutter speed as well as shallow DOF when shooting between birds, pets and landscapes while out and about.
Sounds like a great approach. Thanks for sharing!
After 30 years of photography, I find myself predominantly using aperture and shutter priority modes. I will use manual mode when taking action shots in low light situations.
Totally agree. Thanks for your comment!
great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I enjoyed watching your video and gained a lot from it. Was your ISO set to auto or given specific limits when shooting the model as it fluctuated? If it was and also your shutter speed was changing as well Then are you really controlling only one part of the exposure triangle and not two? Unless of course you were changing both ISO and Aperture
It is only let the camera control one part of the exposure triangle. You control the other two.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I love this. Manual mode isn’t the end all be all. The right mode for the situation is the one that lets you get the shot. Sometimes manual just isn’t fast enough!
Soooo true! We need to take advantage of the amazing cameras we have!
@@TheSlantedLens Right? I love shooting priority modes. It makes it easy for me to control my camera while letting the camera do the rest of the work for me. Might as well use all the tech that I paid for in my beautiful camera right?
Great video. I love shooting in this mode. It's always been very reliable for me. Question : the graduation photo of them jumping at 5:35 looks like you used a strobe at cam left though, no?
True, that image shouldn't have been put in there.
Great information
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!
Great piece.. keep it up.👍

Thanks for your guidance.....
You're welcome 😊. Thanks for watching!
great video !!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
I used to think I was only going to hurt myself if I had my camera on anything but full manual. But after moving my businesses to Orlando-the theme park and vacation capital of the U.S.-I found myself shooting more and more things like firework shows. I started calling them exposure roulette because no two fireworks emit the same amount of light and everything else is pitch black between them. Using full manual mode is almost impossible. Once I gave in and started using Av mode, I started coming home with 100 useable shots instead of 10. It not only makes my job easier, it makes it much more fun.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I love manual mode. More control and fits my style.
Definitely to each his own. Keep on clickin'!
Thank you very much for those advices. I wonder how you get the group of jumping people sharp by an exposure time of 1/100?
In order to stop action at 1/100 you need to have the people hit the peak and shoot before they drop down.
@@TheSlantedLens thank you very much :)
In some of these, the only reason your exposure is changing is because the framing changes the reflective light that your camera sees and your camera isn’t smart enough to realize the incidental light is identical so the exposure should be identical. You’ve just given yourself more work in post, especially if you need two similar views in a layout and you want them to be printed the same.
Something to think about. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you ,but how do you do this?
thanks for the great video. what do you think of using Aperture priority while using auto ISO but limited to a minimum shutter speed (Sony calls it ISO Auto Min SS.). I know this violates your mantra, but in that case you are (semi)controlling the ISO too, by adding a floor value to it. curious to hear your thoughts.
I think as long as you put a range on the ISO, you are controlling the ISO and it works. I will experiment with that and see what I think.
I still do full manual mode. I tried aperture and shutter priorities but, since I’m used of manual I always get back to it.
If it works for you then stick with it.
Great creative and insightful presentation. How about that letting the setting sun show us what's happening with the camera as the shutter compensates and the images grow more dynamic. Very good Very helpful. Thank You
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!
Variety is the spice of life.
We all have fun finding what works best for our own work and enjoyment.
Shutter speed can be one of the creative choices to be made when capturing an image.
Ignoring manual shutter speed choices 90% of the time is ignoring a potentially creative choice that same amount of time. Granted, most of the time we just want a frozen subject and don't care what shutter speed was used to get it, that is true. But getting used to having control of shutter speed at least keeps the mental muscle memory (not to mention the camera buttons) ready to jump on a creative thought immediately.
What is that old saying, "out of sight out of mind". It would be a shame if everyone just treated shutter speed this way.
The automated exposure mode I like is Auto ISO. The anti-noise softwares that deal with ISO issues are awesome these days, and are only getting better.
Well said. Thanks for sharing.
I mostly use AV. Canon now has FV and my M6 mark II is so good that FV is very useful to me. I use manual focus lenses so I am still doing work.
That's great. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I agree compltely about controlling two things. I find that when using AV mode, my Canon 6d, 5d, and 40d all make bonehead decisions like keeping the ISO nice and low while having a 1/60th shutter speed on the EF 135 F/2 L which doesn't have image stabilization. In this case, I would rather the camera had increased the ISO to maintain a shutter speed of at least 1/150th of a second. I think people give these cameras way too much credit. They're not very smart even at the very simple tasks we give them.
Yes, they are machines after all.
NICE..........👍👍👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Really🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so professional
Thanks for watching and keep on clickin!
I like manual mode with Auto ISO with an upper limit of 400, 800, 1600, 3200, or 6400 depending on the lighting conditions.
Auto ISO will be a lesson we will do soon.
@@TheSlantedLens I am looking forward to it. I am a semi-professional photographer (a half dozen weddings & some senior photo shoots under my belt) and your channel has inspired me since I took up the hobby about three years ago.

Does changing your metering mode change this theory?
I’m an old shooter and have used Manual forever. But there are too many times (on the fly) where manual is just too much work.
But I need information on metering because that’s what frustrates me the most. I’m also used to tight focus points and if my metering is also on that point, strange things can happen. Are you using a wider exposure metering? Something more general. Even that scares me, because exposing tricky locations, you want that slot metering (i’m so old school! And I need to break out of that) It’s funny, most people cannot grasp manual exposure settings, but for me, this world of auto exposure frustrates me.
Exposure metering insights please, and thank you :-)
You are shooting in an auto mode the way you would shoot in a film mode. You are super concerned about missing your exposure by a little bit. When the reality is, you can overexposed by 2/3 of a stop or underexposed by 2 stops and it will still be a good image in digital.
@@TheSlantedLens my concern is an auto exposure has to meter off of something. If I’m in manual, I spot meter for things of concern and then set my exposure manually to accommodate that. But in auto exposure, if the metering is too tight, you could meter off a dark shirt and then it slips off that shirt to something else and the exposure changes,. You must be metering a wider, a more general exposure for the entire scene. A general average, and not linked to your focus point and metering against a tight area where things can move in or out of that point and the exposure jumps all over the place.
I’ll have to try it and see if I can achieve a gradual shit in exposure. I do more video than stills and that’s also a different can of worms. I’ll shift an VND very carefully while my exposure is still about mid point so I have latitude up or down. Maybe I’m too old to change. But I’ll try it! Lol 😂
I usually end up fighting the camera trying to get back the setting that the camera screwed up. If you can hand hold and still get A-sharp image when the camera decides to shoot at 1/25 then this can work
Yeah, it really depends on what your are shooting!
But there is more than the exposure triangle- you mentioned exposure comp, and you didnt mention the metering. I choose spot metering or matrix metering depending on the situation and how contrasty the subject is relative to the background. We are long overdue to adding metering style, and perhaps other choices, to reflect more accurately how photographers actually get properly exposed photos.
I did like your enumeration of the different choices and settings you use for the different scenarios. Would be nice to see a list or a summary to make it easy for everyone to reflect on. Nice job, as always.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
How did you set metering on the highway sunset shots? Center weighted? Spot?
Single spot and I put it on something that will give me an average exposure and then moved it around until the exposure was just right.
Shoot on whatever mode that suits even auto can work well
I most use A or AV also
Very true. Thanks for watching!
Why guess how much to over and under expose, when all mirrorless cameras have real time highlight clipping warning. I pretty much always expose to the right, staying 1/3 of a stop under the clipping point of the sensor, if I want to retain details in the highlights. The idea is to saturate the sensor with light (which is information) and expose in post (which most times means lowering the exposure, thus reducing the visibility of noise).
Great points. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Perhaps, I missed your comments. How about set auto ISO and set aperature at f5.6…then just adjust shutter speed? Only one thing to change. If you are worried about shutter speed, set it to 1/100 then just worry about aperature
Then it would be manual mode with auto iso.Right?
That is a different type of shooting than aperture priority and one we will talk about soon.
Issue I’m having is with the shutter speed being too low when on AV mode. Getting too much blur on my shots.
Can we use Av mode for multishot and stich it into panorama?
It is not a good idea to use AV mode on a multi-shot because the exposure may vary from image to image
I recommend being on manual and being very quick before the lighting changes too much between shots. You may want to manually set white balance too so it doesn't alter between pics.
I wouldn't recommend it for this, but you can certainly do it by just engaging the exposure lock, usually the * button on your camera.
@@FloatingOnAZephyr That * button is only temporary so you would have to be quick. Also after the shutter press I think it resets to a new evaluation. I'm not sure because I hardly ever use this feature.
@@ArcanePath360AE lock persists for as long you hold the * button (or about 8 seconds if released, on my body), so there's no rush. If 8 seconds isn't enough, just hold it. It doesn't reset on shutter release, you have to press * again for a new meter reading. I agree manual is the better choice for a large complex pano as there's less to go wrong, but it's pretty easy to use exposure lock too. For simple 3-5 shot horizontal panos, I frequently just use AE lock which saves switching modes. Well worth playing around with.
My question - In high sun light why so high of ISO not low ?
In direct sunlight I always use a low ISO, 100 ISO. There is not reason to use a high ISO.
I use aperture priority most of the time for weddings. But if they are walking is it better to change to shutter priority?
Good points. Thanks for sharing your workflow!
I have used auto iso for street photography. I always use manual 99% percent of the time.
If that works for what you shoot that is great!
Can you use aperture P and strobes together even with high shutter speeds
Not with any predictable results.
Does this same concept apply for film cameras?
The reason you use an AV mode if when you have a fast process where things are changing quickly. A wedding can be a fast process where things are changing quickly. Most film cameras don't have an AV Mode except for the very last ones produced. And yes it would work the same on those late model cameras.
This info makes me like God!!!
Hope you learned a thing or two!
Once you said "a couple thousand images in an hour or two" 😂
Easily done in certain situations.
It’s fine in relatively good light, but I find every camera chooses a higher ISO than I want even when using the compensation dial. I’d much rather get it right, than negotiate with my tech in these situations.
Good point. Thanks for sharing!
So aperture priority will allow the camera to automatically adjust the shutter and iso?
You can do auto ISO and AV mode but I generally do AV mode and set the ISO myself.
There is a place for what you are describing, and you can get great stuff that way...there are a lot of ways to skin a cat....the method you describe is a good way for new shooters to learn..... ...we're all different, I would have a very difficult time bringing myself to shoot like that...... I have been shooting for 35 years,.... I shoot beauty for cosmetic companies, I shot for Playboy for a decade, I shoot advertising campaigns, with carefully planned concepts, ...what you are describing is more of a pot shot shooting, the old sling a lot of dirt against the wall and see what sticks... you will get some good images, no doubt..but for me.. I prefer to create images intentionally hell it's possible to lock the shutter and throw your camera down a flight of stairs... ? Then weed through and see what is salvageable... The other school of thought is compose your shots, plan your frame, from a tripod, carefully study it, get your camera height right for the composition, light your frame..... I light everything, in the studio or on location....I'm sure there would be some keepers in there..... but. why gamble on the sun going behind a cloud...or accidentally get a lens flare? or any number of things that are less than perfect..... . then decide the path that your model is going to pass or stand in your frame, how is the light affecting her wardrobe, her hair? her body, legs, etc.... now that everything is set up, shoot, shoot, shoot, that planned and designed frame.. every frame will be beautifully composed, and the light will be perfect...... etc..if you zoom, tight, or full length, the exposure will be the same with manual exposure, .. now rather then having to weed through your images and see how many times you got lucky, and how many you have to delete and hide from your client..... every shot will be terrific and the problem will be deciding what is the best when all are good.... I never have any problem handing a client images right out of camera, I know what is on there, I knew before I shot it, and while I shot it.... the methods you describe are very relevant if you are a sports photographer, or a journalist.... but a real live fashion shoot should or glamour, pinup etc... do your stuff on purpose...Like I said, I think your advice is very good if you are teaching new shooters to learn what does what, and that may be your intention...... but eventually plan and design your shoots.... :)
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I've been shooting in Av for ten years.
Good to hear. Keep on clickin!
I have a 150mm Marco lens. I can’t get the subject in the full frame on the picture. How far should I by away from them and keep my aperture 2.8
When you back up the depth of field becomes deeper. Just keep backing up and stay at 2.8
Im using all modes depend what I want to create.
Sounds like a good plan. Thanks for your comment!
How do you avoid low shutter speeds when aperture priority mode makes shutter speed too low?
Raise your ISO. Or if you are in a low light situation go to manual, set your shutter and your aperture and put your ISO or auto.
Are you not using a flash? If so you gotta use high speed with AV Mode since shutter will jump to 1000 or so.
I prefer manual mode when using a flash.
I love using AV mode
It certainly makes things go a little smoother in a lot of situations!
Great advise for most situations
Thank you. I appreciate that!
Why -2/3 and not just -1 on the exp comp?
I feel like one stop is too much and 2/3 is just right.
@@TheSlantedLens okay, thanks
I use AV when I do long exposure
Yes, that works great with AV mode!
With the bridge and the cars why does the shutter speed go that slow automatically? Because I'm assuming that is what it's doing if you're on av mode.
Because I am not using auto ISO and so the camera has to go to a longer shutter when the light becomes low.
@@TheSlantedLens interesting! Thanks!
I dont understand deeply about using Aperture Priority. Last hunting, I used that setting. The result is all photoes in over exposure. I guess there wrong setting in my camera.
Yes, you must have had the wrong settings. Watch the video again and take the principles and go out and practice again.
@@TheSlantedLens I'll try again after wathing the video carefully. Thank you.
lol I just used AV today. so much easier
Glad to hear it! Keep on clickin'!
Is auto ISO Tv mode?
Here is a great explanation,
"TV mode stands for Time Value but is better known as Shutter Priority Mode. In TV mode the user specifies a shutter speed, while the camera adjusts the aperture size to correctly expose the image."
Manual with auto ISO is one of my preferred modes. Set apapture as desired and then ride the shutter to freeze action until the ISO gets too high.
That is a great approach for action!
I dont see any issue with letting camera choose ISO in AV mode as long as I set maximal value I can tolerate. Its not creative instrument most of the time.
if you allow it set iso automatically it often will choose one too low resulting in a shutter speed that's too low for handheld photography. This results in blur.
That is a great way to work if you choose to.
Aperture mode for real, f/8 and be there. Rule of thumb but I pay attention to the situation as well.
Sounds good. Thanks for sharing!
