I hope you all enjoy today's video! This was one of the first videos I ever uploaded on my channel, I was so nervous talking to the camera that day haha and like I mentioned, I really felt like that video needed a refresher with some visual examples of how I change settings as you guys still comment on that old video to this day :) So I hope you find this helpful!

Thank you for watching! xx - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This is the first manual how-to video I’ve seen that shows the thought process and in-person experience. So much easier to understanf and “see” how things work. Thank you!
Agreed!
Exactly
Thank you so much! Yep my first manual mode video had no examples and I was like... this needs to change! Lol Glad you liked it
This helped me so much and I have been shooting for years taking so much time in my post to make corrections. This is by far the best video I have seen for manual.
Word!! Amazing video, thanks!
WOW! I'm a visual learner with awful ADHD & I hate when people teach without visuals because I can't just learn by listening like other people. But OMG you explained it as if I was there with you step by step WITH visuals AND on the spot teaching! I just learned a lot! Thank you!❤
I’m also ADHD and I agree 100% !!
SAME!!!!!!!!
I'm late to the party but omggg i also have ADHD and her vids have been beyond helpful 👏
No seriously if someone explains something to me I simply cannot understand until I see it 😂
I have ADHD and I felt the same. Such a great, clear and engaging video. Excited to watch more!! 😊
Would love a Lightroom tutorial on how to get warm/golden (mostly monochromatic) tones! I do family sessions and want to explore this style a little more, it seems to be very popular.
Thank you so much for breaking it down and making it so easy for us photography hobbyists to understand! A lot of other videos get too technical, so this was a great help!
Your first video on manual helped me SO much to get started and left me in tears of gratitude, and this one was even better! Excellent explanation of what is often an extremely daunting concept (going from auto to learning to go full manual) for people. So appreciate your videos.
I am a very visual learner and usually not a lot of photographers that I watch do a really good job when giving step by step directions...you make learning easy for me and I can’t wait to start applying this to my work!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I learned Photography through an online school so learning manual mode is tricky for me. After watching your video, I understood the exposure triangle a lot more and was able to get out of Aperture Priority mode with confidence. I had a shoot today and for the first time I was so confident shooting Manual and my pictures were all properly exposed and sharp!
So many people have tried to do this type of tutorial but nobody has made it so easy to understand! Great work!
I’m so glad you decided to re-do this video with your thought process behind changes.
As someone who’s beginner camera can NOT independently adjust all 3 settings in manual AND doesn’t have a live view, this helped explain SO MUCH with shutter speed effecting exposure and just solved 2 problematic photo shoots. THANK YOU!
oh gosh, even showing it live, i wana cry, you're the best Julia!
Thank you SO much for this video. I'm a visual learner and even with picture examples in other videos I wasn't fully understanding it. Seeing it in motion as you changed the settings finally made it so clear!!
I've watched a few videos about manual mode and yours is the best yet! This was so helpful to see it all in action and to understand how you decide to bump up what. This has given me even more confidence as a new photographer to shoot in manual! Thanks so much!
I did my first styled shoot this weekend and this video helped me out sooooo much! The photos I took using your advice blew me away. Just want to thank you for posting such amazing content! ❤️
That's amazing I would love to see the photos
Wow, this was so helpful! I love the real life examples as I'm more of a visual learner. Thanks so much for this, Julia!
Thank you!
Very straightforward and easy to understand. The way you use photographic examples and talk through your settings as you shoot, plus the results, stated as unedited/edited, make this video the most clear that I've watched about Sony A73/photography so far (had my camera for 5 months now).
This was the BEST beginner video I have watched. My aperture only goes down to F5.0 and my shutter speed only goes up to 1/4000, so this helps in navigating that. I am just starting as a portrait photographer. Actually seeing you doing a shoot and using different settings is so helpful!
Wow I’ve watched countless videos on how to shoot manual and honestly this the first time I’ve fully understand to shoot like this. Amazing video thank you 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much!
What a fantastic tutorial! Easy to follow and so informative. Thank you
First video out of a few thousand that I watched that really really cleared up my confusion cloud! So well thought out! Absolutely love the live examples... That's what made all the difference! Thank you so much, Julia!!
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Real world examples in the field and adjusting controls on the fly. Brilliant.
This is so wonderful Julia.. Simple logic.. Well, if there's a tutorial of manual mode in indoors.. It would be great
Thank you! There have been a few requests for an indoor one, so I will work on it :D
Right? Like out of every video out here I understand hers its simple and she shows examples too like THANK YOU BRUH
@@juliatrotti Is indoor video published?
I remember watching your first video on this, its how i learned to photograph in manual! 😊🙏🏼
Ahh that’s so awesome to hear!
Most videos make it so complicated but you broke it down WHILE SHOOTING! showing the difference in each setting made a huge difference! Definitely a new subscriber here
I can truly tell you this is the main video I've found to fully explain those three settings and why / what they mean. I've watched this twice and just made notes. I'm off out today to practice.
Having an understanding already of the exposure triangle and shooting manually, I still watched this video because I thought maybe you’d offer a few off-the-cuff pieces of advice while shooting portraits, and you did! Thanks for making a video still worth watching even for someone who’s not totally a beginner!!
Thank you so much!
Same! I always learn something new with Julia.
I’m learning so much with you, Julia! Do you think you can do a similar video in-doors? I’m struggling with focus in low-light situations 😭
I wouldn't say better ! Super interesting ! Easy to understand.
Yes, would love an in door video! Like a studio portrait session
Yes please! That is where I need some serious help as well!!!
if you have trouble with focus in low light it might be because you cranked the shutterspeed higher to let more light in? You need to balance those settings.
So handheld shooting you need to have a higher shutterspeed (1/10 or 1/15) to not have blurry pictures. BUT if the picture is too dark open up the apature (lower number is wider open) so if your lens can do f/1.8 you'll get a brighter picture than f/3. imagine the f stop like squinting your eyes. the higher will be sharper but darker.
and keep the ISO as low as you can. indoors though, you'd probably need to use 200-250 ISO
@@Googaliemoogalie thanks for sharing the knowledge ❤ It is appreciated.
You're a true artist Julia. I'm amazed by how much you feel what you're doing.
I finally understand this concept of how the aperture, ISO, and shutter work together. Thanks Julia for an awesome tutorial :)
I learned the hard way today that ISO grains the image bad when set really high! This video was amazing thank you so much
It also depends on how good your camera/sensor is. Don't be afraid of high iso, & keep in mind 😉 We're the only ones who Really understand it. It's alright if it's necessary for you to get the shot & achieve your vision, try and produce the best quality you can but if you need to then raise it, other people don't know what high iso is. You'll be alright.
You are conflating ISO settings with exposure. Higher ISO settings can reduce noise--they never increase noise/grain directly.
You are the best photography professor on Earth
I've watched sooo many other videos and you explained this so clear and also showed live view with explanation for each setting and why you used that. THANK YOU 🙏🙏
One of the best videos to really learn the ins and the outs of the camera with explanation and visuals, extremely well done!
I've never learned any other modes than manual. Manual seemed way easier when I was beginning than anything else 😂
Now I need to learn how you manage natural light, what do you see that help you place the model in the right place in terms of lighting
Yesss I want to do this next!
Yes! This is an excellent question that I need guidance in as well. It would really be helpful to know the thought process of subject placement in natural light. The topic would make a great video.
Thank you Julia for this step by step easy to understand video to venture into the manual mode to create better pictures. You are the Queen of Photography
Thanks so much for watching!! All photos edited with my Earthy Lightroom Preset Pack of 10 which you can find here: www.digitalfilmactions.com/lightroom-presets#/earthy-lightroom-preset-pack/

I share more camera settings, what metering modes to use and my favourite tips to get better looking portraits with only natural light ☀️
Do you have any "Off-Camera" Flash photography examples?
The only girl who is real talented for photography i hv ever seen 😎👌
Nice video!! What lens were you using?
Hi I'm a Photographer from Sierra Leone can I have your WhatsApp number
These videos has very very helpful to me. Thank you sooo much
I already understand these things now, but I watch it anyway because you and Dan are good at presentation and educating. It's one thing to know something yourself and another to teach. This is very good. This would have been amazing when I first started, and I now know what video to recommend to beginners.
Awesome, I stumbled into manual mode early on when I bought a camera and since then I haven’t changed. I have tried shutter priority at skate parks maybe once. So refreshing and more to knowledge to learn from a pro.
This video is soooooo helpful!!! Love to see the real world *live* examples and understand how you can use the tools in light of spec limitations
That was a very helpful video. When you adjusted your camera settings for us and showed why you made each adjustment, it was absolutely awesome for me. Thank you so very much 😀
OMG, first off, you're perfect.
Secondly, I was thinking about playing music in the background while watching TH-cam tutorials lol... but you took care of that by layering music into your instructional video!
That's a very nice touch and helped me to stay into it.
Thank you!
Im starting this new hobby and as a very newbie
The way you explained aperture, shuuter and iso
Makes it very simple.
Ur heaven sent. ❤️❤️❤️
More of this please ! This was so great, first video I’ve seen that broke it down so simply and live examples
the live tutorial made it SO much clearer. love it, thank you😊
Wow this is honestly the most helpful video I have found! I have been doing photography as a hobby for a year now and struggle so much with outdoor shots. I am taking some photos today if my daughter and can’t wait to try these tips out! Thank you for the helpful video!
I am doing a family photo shoot in a few weeks and I feel this is the perfect video that helps me understand what I need to do. Thank you!
The Explanation is very practical and that's what makes Julia's tutorial different from others !!!
Thx Julia for this perfectly explained video. I recently started getting into photography because I want to begin posting professional pictures of my car. My friend gave me a quick guide on how to use my camera manually but only knew how to play with shutter speed and ISO. Now I know how to use apeture as well.
Thank you so much , I’m new to photography and it’s my first dslr camera , I find it hard to learn by reading and this is the first video I have watched witch actually makes sense , I love the way you explained it while showing us I feel like I have really learned something and I’m slowly watching all your vides now . I could watch you all day you have such a good way of teaching . I will re watch this over and over I’m sure thank you .
Wow! Thank you so much for creating a very easily understandable tutorial! This was the best video I’ve seen on learning photography. Your explanations and examples were so helpful! Thank you!
You are an awesome teacher! I’ve watched many beginner videos and yours is by far the easiest to understand. Thank you!
I’m honestly really thankful you gave an example in direct sunlight :) thank you
This is by far the most understandable and clearest explanation I have ever watched! THANK YOUUUU XXXX
Watching this so many months later and it’s still really helpful
You’re an amazing teacher
Thank you so much for sharing and walking through the manual process so well!! I can't even tell you how helpful this is!
The format with the live video of the image as you are changing the settings was well done. Nice work!
Thank you for sharing! I recently started to study Photography and watching your videos in the process is been so much easier for me to learn. Thank you again!!!
This was excellent Julia. One of the best explanations on how to get the perfect exposure with your camera. Thank you.
You are way better than many online platforms . Thank you for the practical examples learnt so much
Very well done Julia! Thank you for the simple way of explaining on how to balance a photograph.
Your channel is my favorite. I saw your original manual mode video and it was partly what encouraged me to go after my dream!
Out of hundreds of videos I researched trying to understand this, yours was the only one explained practically.
love this video so much! I knew absolutely nothing about photography and cameras and this was so helpful!
What an amazing tutorial video, you explained things so thoroughly and I love how you added the visual examples! Thank you!!
Thank you, Julia! I have found all of your videos both enjoyable and instructive. I recently purchased an A7M2 and your instruction has been super valuable as I get used to this camera. Plus, it's nice to see warm weather when we're experiencing cold rain here in Western Oregon.
This video explains manual settings better than any other video I’ve seen so far. Thank you.
I loved this to be honest very informative and in depth. Love how comfortable the model was as well
Thank you! One of the best videos out there! I kind of understood how these features worked, but your explanation solidified my understanding. Kudos 👏 you will be my #1 source for my journey into the photography realm!
The best channel with hands on example. I cannot thank you enough for this videos.
Wow, I’ve seen so many Videos about photography but this is literally the best! Now I definitely understand a little more about photography
this helped me out so much! super informational and love how you included visuals 👍🏼
This is an excellent video . Having the live examples makes it easy to see the differences when you change settings.
Great video. The best thing about your content is how you talk to the camera; you are confident and friendly. Excellent skill for a speaker. You know your stuff, but also the way you present is fresh.
Haven't even watched the video yet and I'm already so excited and know it's going to be very informative!
this is by far the most helpful and straight forward explanation 👍🔥
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! i understand the exposure settings so much better now
I have nvr seen anyone explain so lucidly..u make it so easy to understand,.. just loovvvveddd it,......☺
Thank you for having a live demonstration. It made it soooo much easier to understand. I can’t wait to shoot my family pics in HI. Thank you again
the best video so far! - beginner SOOOOOO INFORMATIVE, organized, scientifictastic!
Seriously, SO HELPFUL!!! you are so cool and amazing and you are livin the life girl! great set up!
The best thoughtful tutorial about shutter speed, Aperture and ISO💯Thank you for sharing.
One could learn so much from you, great video Julia.
Thanks for sharing all the valuable information.
The best tutorial I have ever come across. Thank you!
Really great video! Love the live shoot examples. Usually people don’t do that in their videos. Super helpful.🤘🏻
amazing content!!! thank you for being so didactic and explaining complex things in a simple way
Been looking all around for this type of video, very well explained and what a big impact you just made on my progress! I just got a wescott fj400 and I want to start mainly using manual mode ! Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you so much for your videos and kindness of sharing your knowledge of photography freely!! ♥️
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! It’s easy to understand photography with you.... it really means a lot to me!!!
Thanks for having examples with detailed explanations! Helpful for sure :)
Been watching tutorial videos all day and this one was the most helpful! Thank you!
This is the best tutorial video I’ve seen yet. So thankful for you!
The best out there hands down💯
A clear, concise explanation of shooting in manual. Thank you.
I have been watching your videos and appreciate the examples you give us by showing photoshoots in real time.
Your model is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the informative video!!
Video is far more better than expectations. I must say best video ever on camera usability i had watched.
I really enjoy watching your videos Julia🤗
I learn so much from you 🙌🏼
Thank you for making a video that is straight to the point without unnecessary fluff I learned a lot.
Super helpful! Haven't seen it more clearly explained anywhere else. Thank you!
Great! as a video shooter who on occasion likes to shoot a photo ("likes" meaning "is forced to"), this is very helpful. In video you're almost always stuck with a fixed shutter speed of 48 or 60 due to the demands of natural motion blur. Being able to adjust that shutter speed for photos makes life a lot easier and a lot more flexible.
alas---it is what it is , and never the twain shall meet. Love your videos. thanks you so much.
