Master Manual Mode With This SIMPLE RULE! // Sony A7IV ISO Test!

The exposure triangle is the first thing every photographer learns but for some it's can still be confusing. So confusing that some prefer to shoot in auto or other camera modes to avoid it at all costs. However, shooting in manual is actually not that hard. Changing every setting every time your lighting situation changes is not necessary. Instead follow this simple rule I talk about in this video. You'll realize just how easy shooting in manual is!

What style of photography do you shoot and what settings do you prioritize?

[@TemoDidit]

This breakdown for manual adjustments are golden

[@Cthames123]

I do a lot of street photography during my lunch walks around downtown and around my neighborhood afternoons when enjoying the sunset. My adjuster is shutter speed when shooting Manual exposure. During the day there is plenty of light so I’ll always have my ISO as low as it can go (50). I’ll stop aperture down as far as it can go (i.e f22) when I want a sun burst or I’ll open it as wide as possible (i.e f2.8) when I want an occasional subject separation but 98% of the time I set it at what returns the sharpest image for the lens I’m using, (f5.6 for my 24mm, and f4.0 for my 50mm or 90mm). During the day especially on my Sigma, 90mm, f2.8 I adjust the shutter speed to get M.M -0.3 or -0.7 (on the darker side). This brings out beautiful rich color saturation from the lens. Indoors or at night I have to think a little more. When indoors and under, soft, home lighting I’ll start at ISO 400 on my A7IV and adjust up from there, but my main adjustments come on the shutter speed side.

It's a very simple way to shoot in all manual!

[@gracel3457]

Your video is incredible I love your work good job😍🔥

[@StefanoLombardoYT]

Thank you for the support!

[@JasonLawrenceNoel]

Dude great explanation! Thank you! Quick question what’s your dedicated aperture shutter and ISO button on your Sony? love to hear what other people use for their button mapping

[@Shreyas.Ranganath]

Thank you....

[@StefanoLombardoYT]

Glad I could help!

[@jamessepulveda189]

Would you recommend iso on auto for this with set parameters?

[@gearscole]

With the a74/a7cii you can go 20000 iso for street or landscape photo, in portrait for the precision of skin tones 12800 iso is the max

[@FedericoMcCartney]

I'ts incredible that there is no explanation at all

[@jakethesnake8681]

Y’all don’t ever show how to do it on camera. And that’s where it’s hard to learn from some of you creators.

[@doriangates9918]

subbed! Awesome video.

[@StefanoLombardoYT]

Thanks for the sub!

[@rumorscameras]

do u have dust problem

[@StefanoLombardoYT]

Haven't yet cleaned the sensor and have no dust problems

[@rumorscameras]

@@StefanoLombardoYT i was reluctant to buy the 2470.bvz of all the people talking about the dust inside the lens .noy sure if it s a batch or a design flaw.

[@StefanoLombardoYT]

@@rumorscameras Many external zoom lenses are common for dust getting inside because there are moving components. It's easy for dust to get in the chamber. However, I haven't had this issue with my Sigma 24-70mm!
