You got no idea how much I had waited for this tutorial. I went through almost all tutorial on YouTube unless I found this video. Subscribed on a beat. Thank you so much

[barbroland]

Photography has become my new passion. Since I'm learning the ropes as I go, I'm thrilled to find you & Charlie! Thank you :)

I remember when AF first came out and how many of us struggled with it to such a point we often turned it off. A great video with a very concise, informative and well made video which I’m sure will help many people.

You are simply the best teacher on photography/camera use on these YouTube streets

[wildfireflyyyify]

Clear and to the point! So tired of people talking excessively off topic! Thank you!!!

You are a photo genius. Thank you for this. Now I can help my students focus better.

This is/was my main issue! I recently bought my Nikon 3400 and thought my sisters birthday was the perfect opportunity to get some practice. Turned out in [Almost] every single photo the ‘main subject’ was blurry. I almost cried 😩. (😅) Thank you for being a patient and thorough teacher I’m really glad to be watching and learning from your videos. 👏🏻

3 and a half minutes for someone to finally explain the one simple thing that everyone else just skips over. Nice simple, clear, straight to the point info

Hi, Paul! I'm transitioning from a 35mm camera to a DSLR camera. As a someone on a budget, I'm starting with an entry level camera. I appreciate the way you show us how to use the Canon EOS T7 effectively. Your easy-to-follow tutorials have really helped me understand the fundamentals of using the creative modes on my camera. You have a new follower and I'll continue to eagerly await your posts. I've learned so much. Thank you!

I've just got my very first DSLR, after much research decided on the Canon EOS 800D and your video tutorials have been a massive help learning the ropes.
Comprehensive, concise and your own enthusiasm makes it fun to watch!
The bitesize format going through each specific part makes it easier to take in too instead of it feeling like a long, drawn out lesson.
I look forward to unlocking the full potential of my camera.
Thank you!🙏

OMG, where have you been!?!?! 😂Ive been learning my camera, and I feel like I have learned more in two short videos that I have in months of experience! Thanks again!

[chickey]

Thank you so much! I needed someone to show me how to set the focus on my T6 and you just did it. From now on I'll be getting a photo of the black bird in the tree and NOT the stupid branch in front of it. Thanks again.

It frustrates my wife that it takes me longer than her to take a picture. I use a D70 and she uses her phone.
Ironically, she always likes my photos better.
Everyone wants to eat the sausages but no one wants to see how they see made.

Another great tutorial, thank you so much! Learning how to use Manual mode is not so easy for me, I still use semi-automatic mode in most of the situations. I wish I could do everything using Manual mode, definitely, and you're helping me a lot with it 😀. Thank you again 👏

[weirdrage]

golly I've had my camera for a few years and I thought controlling the ap, shutter speed and ISO was enough with using the manual focus on the lens but after watching only two videos of yours I have already learnt so much! You don't know what you don't know but I have subscribed to change that! Thanks for your help!!

[legoshi]

Life saver! Man this saved me from taking crappy pictures in my digital art class, and it really interested me more in taking pictures, maybe getting my own camera!

[UnamiMedia]

I really enjoy your videos. I have moderate experience with digital photography, but returning to school, I finally had to face my fears of the infinite number of functions my camera has (I miss my Nikkormat!).

Your videos are very helpful in simplifying things that I was missing in my use of a DSLR.

Thanks!

[colinmelhuish]

Thanks for a constructive tutorial. Just like to say that I have the aperture mode selected and can still bring up the focus points as you have shown and use the front dial to choose the required focus point without having to go into manual, Nothing wrong with either, would just like a comment on why you chose manual as opposed to a creative mode. Enjoy your videos, all so helpful.

I'd love, love, love to see more of Charlie! He's adorable! I know that this video is 3 years old. Charlie does not look old, though; and I'm trusting he is still with you.

I used Nikon D3100 D3200 Canon 550D and now Canon 60D. I must say this video is a refreshment of the knownlodge I used to have. Thank you
