Beyond doubt, the best channel on youtube. If you have a camera, especially a nikon, you need this guy! Thank you for what you do.

Sometimes manual mode can be so frustrating. Your tips on Aperture mode is brilliant.

I've had my 6D for five years and you just changed my quality of shooting 10x. This is perfect for photos of kids, when you cant fiddle with all of the M settings on the fly. Thanks!

I asked a question 1 year ago relating to this procedure on my Nikon D300 and you kindly replied .
I have now upgraded my camera and have revisited your video and I have to say thank you . This is a wonderful set up and has improved my photography journey 100% . Thank you Andrew and may I say as a teacher your methods are first class .

I have been using Nikon and aperture priority since 1977. I used it mainly to get the highest shutter speed possible for a given scene. The film cameras didn't have auto-ISO. I'm going to check my digital bodies now, and set them up like you showed! GREAT tip! Worth a "Subscribe" push!!!

Great stuff.
thank you so much. You have won and gained another follower.

I am preparing to take portrait shots for an in-house magazine. I'm an amateur photographer. I've seen other videos from your channel. Thumbs up Andrew for your ability to give the viewer the right perspective .. "teach them how to fish". You have brought new clarity to how "Aperture Priority" actually works when properly implemented before you CLICK!. Thank you. Cheers

One of the most useful tips I've seen. I've only ever shot manual because it's all I had growing up on basic film cameras. Only just started using A priority lately but this sets my mind at ease.

Great video, well explained just one thing to bear in mind when setting a minimum shutter speed on your camera Generally speaking, using the standard rule of thumb is to make the minimum shutter speed equal to the maximum focal length of your lense when hand-holding your camera. For example, if you are shooting with a 200mm lens then you want to keep your minimum shutter speed at 1/200 sec or above to avoid any blur occurring from camera shake.

Man, nobody else can make it that simple and enjoyable.. Great tutorial for A-mode.

When I first got a dslr camera, I decided that I would learn to use manual right out of the gate. I got very familiar with it. Then the time came when I was asked to be a second shooter for a wedding. Only knowing how to use manual mode and not understanding the other modes, 90% of my shots were not usable. It took me a while to figure out what you just shared in such a short time!

[JuneK]

You just saved my life!! I’ve been shooting under Aperture Priority for quite sometime now but my shots are never consistent. Now I know why!! You’ve just restored my faith in becoming a better photographer. 🥰😍

[jacobchristianglover]

Awesome tips... Thanks you Mr. Boey!!! Be well and stay encouraged!

[dnashnasirqureshi]

I am a beginner, already following some good youtubers about photography but this is my first video and this gem has explained it in more details and I am a new subscriber now... bravo!!

[jimvandehey]

Thanks so much for doing this video. I have a Canon 5D MK IV and following your suggestion makes a world of difference.

[matthewkeisling]

This is a terrific video. I have in the past been adamantly AGAINST Auto ISO, because it would shoot up even if a flash was activated. Showing us how to set limits like this make Auto ISO a possibility in some situations.

[michaeleasler]

Great tutorial! I went from a Nikon FE-2 film camera to a D9 almost a decade ago. I was really a expert with the FE9. I'm constantly frustrated by the menus to get the camera to do what I know it can do. You addressed one of the situations I find most frustrating: the camera overriding a shutter speed that know is appropriate to avoid shake/blurring. I need to shoot more often until I can remember all of this when on an "assignment." This was an excellent help.

[chuckmoorehead]

Just bought a Nikon 850. The last camera I bought was a Nikon F3 in 1980 so this old dinosaur has a lot to learn about digital cameras. I found this video helpful in so many ways thank you so much.

[nicolaedavid]

Great! Thank you for this hack on Nikon camera!

[MyColcana]

Merci beaucoup! This is so far the best explanation on Aperture mode. As a Nikon user, I Thank You for showing how to fix this feature on Nikon cameras. *You have a new suscriber and my like* 😊
