Here I sit, watching your first-class video, while reflecting on the fact that somebody much younger than me can teach me something new. THANK YOU!!!

The way you demonstrate and explain things is striking the famous chord in me. I have just changed from a Sony alpha to the superb EOS 90D and got a bit lost with the controls as they are ever so different. In fact, the 90D is an entirely different beast and demands a much deeper understanding of its handling. Hence, with your help, an array of lightbulbs began flashing when watching your video and admiring those stunning wildlife-stills.

Again, many thanks, I bow my head in respect to you.

Hi Tomas,
It is great to watch Your video. Good information. I am a wildlife enthusiast and I shoot a lot of wildlife, specially bird flight, pictures using my Canon 7D Mark II. I know it is good to shoot in the Manual mode, as You have suggested. But I mainly shoot in the AV ( Aperture Priority ) mode and get tack sharp images. The point I would like to make is that You can set the minimum shutter speed of the camera to whatever You want for any of the creative modes, so that the camera does not go below that shutter speed, for any of the creative modes. For example, I set my minimum camera speed to 1/1600 of a second for birds flight and set the ISO to AUTO in the AV mode. Then I adjust the Aperture as per the depth of field that I need for every shot, in the AV mode. I set the exposure compensation to +1/3 stop. In this way, any picture You take will not be shot below 1/1600 of a second and the ISO is automatically calculated and set by the camera as per the exposure compensation.
-- Sorry for this long message.

Thank you so much! I got the Cannon 90d in May and I was afraid to use it because I didn't know where to start on my settings!!! I feel confident now to go out and shoot my wildlife subjects! I hope you have more videos on how to shoot macro, landscape, and portrait photography in the future!

Comprehensive - simple and makes sense. Thanks!

This was fantastic. I've had my Canon D7 for over ten years and never fully understood this stuff. Thanks!

Out of all these Manual videos im watching, its wonderful to see a young American Dude doing so well. Your videos are excellent all around, from the background to the blue shirt over green background etc. And the tutorial was also great. Good Job young man!

I just started my passion for photography and videography with this camera and thanks a million for your video.

I am a Nikon shooter but I must admit, your presentation is the very best of the best .
Good love ...London

[shutterbuginfinity]

Very true what you said. I have canon 7d and 100-400mm lens

[nickblyth]

You definately can shoot photos in RAW on full auto mode

I’ve done it on the 6D Mk2, 700D and 800D

I prefer full manual for everything through

Subscribed! Really like how you actually show the process of everything and not just sit there and explain things. Really makes for good content! 👌🏻 congrats.

[thehealinghiker]

Really good stuff, and I like your energy, I'm glad to see you are a fellow 90D lover! Your photos are AMAZING!!

[mindmotivemusings]

One of the best tutorials out there. Wish you all the very best...

Hi Tomas. Great video on your setups for wildlife photography. I bought my EOS 90D two weeks ago and am eager to continue taking photographs of wildlife...especially birds. I have the 18-135 kit lens. I also will be using my older Canon 70-300 that I bought with my Rebel T3i years ago. I'm going to upgrade for more reach at some point, but in the meantime, getting basics down with the camera body is what I'll be doing in the meantime. Thanks again for a great introductory tutorial for the Canon EOS 90D. I have subscribed
