So let's just although we're talking about manual mode, let's just talk about the other auto modes on your camera. Now, you've got AV mode on a Canon or a mode on a Nikon you need to check if you've got different make them these these are two main rooms which is why we use them. But they mean up to value well that basically means is you set the aperture and then the camera works out the rest so work at the ISO and the shutter speed, but it will get you might want to use this once you've learned manual dilemma actually come back to the auto mode and use that because you understand now you're trying to do something quickly. So example usage for this. It might be a wedding shot where you want to blur the background but you want to capture the subject and maybe the lights changing.
This is often when we'd use auto mode so we want to capture that and we want to set the aperture we want that low Every time, but maybe there's some clouds passing over. So that's how we might use the aperture value in a creative manner. We've also got TV mode from Canon an S mode from Nikon, which means shutter priority mode. And in this one, you set the shutter speed and the camera works out the rest. Same principle again, you set one lever, and then the camera works out the other to a member, it's always best to use the manual but there are times when you might want to use this. So a bird photography where you want to capture subjects moving fast, and you following it around in the sky and into the trees and your exposures changing.
You know the one thing that's really, really important might be your shutter speed. So you might set it to one 2,000th of a second and let the camera work out the rest of your, you know trying to chase this bird around especially small birds that move fast. So we control that one lever we set that lever and the camera controls the others. And then you've got p mode on Canon and P mode on Nicolas names auto mode, camera figures it all out Well, is there a time when you don't worry about is actually the you know, I used to have a little camera lovely little camera Fuji x 10 model board it never go back. So I've lost that loves photography, but I'm never gonna see that again in my life I know that and that had an auto mode and sometimes when I was just doing casual photography and walking around and maybe a street photography, I would just stick it in auto.
And I just look for the moments, the artistic moments and I think I'm not worried about depth of field, I'm not worried about shutter speed, you know, I'm just want to see that moment in capture, not my IP, where I use an auto mode program mode. So that's going to be in a fast changing shoe with quickly changing ly or I'm just want to grab images really quick. It's more about composition. It's more about the moment. I've just seen some don't want to have to sit there going, Oh, I need this and I need this and the moments gone. It's like, oh, bang, there's that moment.
You know, that person stops there at that point in time bank. Got it. That's when we might use the auto mode. So don't be frightened of the auto mode, but learn what the leavers do and how to use them. Be intelligent and let the camera work for you. When it suits you
