Episode notes
Stop Shooting In Auto
- Get out of Auto mode and learn exposure by practicing aperture, shutter speed, and ISO in manual or aperture-priority.
- Shoot the same scene at different times of day to learn how light changes settings and exposure.
Choose Aperture Priority Or Manual
- If you prefer a gentle start, use Aperture Priority to control depth of field while the camera sets shutter and ISO.
- If you're ready, go full Manual to gain complete control and flexibility over your images.
Set White Balance Intentionally
- Learn white balance next: tell your camera what white looks like using presets like sun, shade, tungsten, or fluorescent.
- Avoid Auto White Balance while learning so you see and correct color casts yourself.
