Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO: The Exposure Triangle made EASY!

OUR STORE: northrup.photo 20% off coupon 'triangle'
Chelsea & Tony Northrup teach the beginning photographers the Exposure Triangle: Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO. They'll teach you how to use your mirrorless camera or DSLR to set low f/stop numbers, like f/1.4, let in more light and blur the background more. They'll also teach you how to use shutter speed to hide or show motion. First, however, they'll start with the easiest setting: ISO, which controls the brightness of your image.

Nifty Fifty to blur the background: sdp.io/fast50

    Hey guys! No video has been so singularly and instantly game-changing in my understanding of cameras and how that applies to my streaming/videos. After watching this, I went back to my set up and changed settings following your advice, which immediately improved my video quality and consistency (no more weird tonal shifts cuz the camera was auto-adjusting to whatever colour of light was shining from my monitor onto my face!). I cannot thank you enough! ^_^

    Hi Tony, I am Using a Sony A7 R5, FW release : 2.01 With a Sony mirror less Lens 55mm F1.8 FW release 2.0. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or my expectations with Sony are misplaced. First my Camera Settings: - Focus mode = Continuous Focus, Focus Area = Wide, Focus , Human+Face Detection = Enabled, Exposure=Multi, Face Priority in multi = ON, Spot metering point= Focus point Linked. Shutter= 1/125, Aperture= 1.8, ISO=Auto 100 to Max. Here is the scenario. Subject is placed to one side (not in centre) The Center is brighter than Face of the subject. Imagine a person near a window. My expectation : The face will be properly exposed since exposure is Face priority and spot metering point is focus point linked and Focus point is linked to face detection. Actual Result : Focus is perfect but the exposure is metered from centre. Question : Are my settings wrong or is my camera faulty or does Sony not work as I expect. Many thanks
