great clear concise explanations and advice!

I like your videos. You seem to really just want to teach about photography not toot your own horn and tell us how great you are, which is what I notice from many other people I've watched doing how-to photography videos. Thanks for keeping it direct and simple :)

Thank you Wayne this is very helpful, I will use the information and try to get better at my photography.

This helps me out a lot, going full manual from auto was a bit too much. As I learn more in av mode I can then advance from there. Thanks for your help..

Awesome Wayne great where were you when I first started...haha I have always  Loved that mode! I wished this worked in in studio lighting too.

Fantastic! Great video, Wayne! Sadly, I have yet to open and read the manual, and haven't moved on to F stop yet. I had no idea what it meant/would do. You explained it so well! I'm going to go out tomorrow and give it a whirl! Thanks for the lesson! :-)

[Pomloo]

Great tutorial!i will go and try to capture the moment!

This was presented very well...Suscribed!

I love this video. You do a great job of explaining this in a simple manner. My question is, can't I do the same thing by just manually focusing? I've done shots like that before and I'm just curious if it achieves the same thing, or is it different?

@Wayne Moran yesterday I used Shutter Priority for the first time on a video shoot. I set the shutter to 1/50 and the camera set the Aperture to LO. It didn't matter what I set the shutter to, the aperture kept showing LO. When I got home and looked at my footage on the monitor, grainy and noisy was an understatement! The place I was shooting had a lot of natural light. The footage is not useable. What could I have done differently? I always shoot video in Manual mode. This was my first attempt at using shutter priority.

Dear Wayne,
I do nature and wildlife ( birding ) photography. If I want to to shoot in apperture priority should I set the ISO in Auto or set the min, and max. limit for ISO. I am using MFT - Lumix G 85 camera with 100 - 400 lens. Please advise.

[wesamsaka]

Thank you very much. When choosing the aperture priority mode, you would let the camera choose the right shooter speed but what about the ISO? Do you change that manually or you let the camera decided that too ? Do you turn on the "auto ISO sensitivity control ? Thank you

Hi I own the xt2 and am somewhat new to photography. When’s I’m in aperture priory mode I still feel like my pictures are either underexposed or over exposed (even when adjusting exposure compensation) to what seems right on the evf. Should I change my metering ? Like the vid a lot thanks

[TheFunnyCamGuy]

Ok so you have to change the aperture and the iso? Can you give a breif explanation on what the iso does and what to do with it please!
