Great video! I'm a manual with auto ISO shooter. Works almost all the time in bird photography. I also switch between evaluative (typical) and spot for perched or stationary (not typical) birds.

Aloha from Honolulu, I'm shooting white terns in rapidly changing conditions: white tern against brilliant blue sky, then birds flying into the tree canopy. Your videos have been super helpful re. what to experiment with to get fewer blurry (white terns move fast!) and dark (in the canopy) shots. Mahalo nui loa!

Hi Paul I have found that the older I get the more time I need to take things in so I may have to watch this a few times lol . Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

No worries. There's a lot of information!

Thanks, Paul , for the valuable information! Sure a great video on an important issue! Going with my wife to Patagonia next Sunday, taking my 5DIV and two cropped Canon bodies. going on a hired bus to have more freedom. A journey down the map along the Argentinian Atlantic coast, and up again next to the Chilean Andes. Pray for us! Keeping following you channel, as always! Best from South Brazil!

Many thanks Terry. Thats lovely feedback. Hopefully this video is useful for all levels. How long have you been photographing wildlife?

Great video mate. I am very much the same with my wildlife photography

It all makes perfect sense. Some things to try this weekend

Thank you.

Thanks Paul - very informative. I use a Nikon D500 in manual, matrix metering and auto ISO. As I normally shoot wildlife, this normally works for me. However, I'm going to try Aperture Priority again on the weekend.

Thanks Steve. Excellent - a good exposure method. Give AV a try - always worth experimenting...

For hand held photography when using Aperture Priority and auto ISO, I find the auto ISO restricts the shutter speed, so I often set the ISO to a level of 800 where I know the noise levels are acceptable. I also make use of the histogram (always on in .jpeg), and metering when in manual. I recommend watching Paul's detailed video on the subject.

Excellent.

Thank you for doing this video, especially as we both live in the UK with cloudy skies. With my Fujifilm X-E3 camera and XF 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens for hand held wildlife photography, I normally go out on sunny days in the winter with aperture at f8, shutter speed at 1/1000s and auto ISO with a limit of 6400, it can be quite noisy at that high ISO. The camera is set to burst mode when photographing animals. The shutter speed is adjusted down if the animal is not flying or running so reduce the ISO. In was in the grounds of Elvaston Castle in early January and saw a beautiful grey squirrel as the Sun was beginning to set. The squirrel was on the ground and was shaded some trees. The image view looked very dark when looking through the eyepiece. I took a burst then kept on taking bursts with a lower shutter speed, at each lower shutter setting the image became slightly brighter. The exposure looked good at a shutter speed of 1/30s. On pixel peeping the 1/30s images on my laptop, a few were very sharp and I selected the best one. I was amazed with how good the image stabilisation was.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's amazing we can get sharp images at those shutter speeds nowadays.

I tend to use av and auto iso it works well for me ! Great information in this video Paul 👏👏keep them coming, what mode do you use for videos?

For the vlog filming? It varies. My vlog camera is manual with auto iso. Filming with the R6 I use different options.

Brilliant video! Has explained alot more and made me feel more comfortable choosing different settings just 1 quick question where did you get that mat (11:10) as I've been searching for one for ages.

Thanks for the feedback. The mat, just look for a yoga mat and try to find a thick one.

Great video as always Paul. Am I right in thinking that using AP when shooting fast moving or skittish subjects would not give you the fast shutter speed needed? Defo thinking about trying AP on my next trip out. Keep up the great work. Ian 😃

Thanks Ian. It's usually a case of keeping an eye on the shutter speed and bumping up ISO if needed. Also Auto ISO can help.

Surprised you didn’t mention Fv mode - with my R7, I’m finding it works well with auto ISO.

thanks for mentioning. I have just started looking at this. Very interesting!

Leave the iso in normal, adjust the iso to choose the shutter speed in AP or the aperture in SP... you have complete control if you use your head 🤦‍♂️
