    Hi there, thanks for watching! while it depends on a variety of factors, starting at 1/125 is usually a good starting point. If you want to understand Exposure more or learn how to shoot better in Manual mode, check out our online course here!: www.rmsp.com/intro-to-manual-exposure

    I habe a genuine question. I an going to be starting nighttime photography soon and i was wondering what settings you recommended? For instance i am going to want to take a photo of this beautiful old theater with amazing lights and such, so i was wondering could whole area AF work for me if i were attempting to take a photo of the giant sign and everything around? Let me know please 😊

    @leewyatt4311 for landscape you would be at around f/16 with a shutter speed fast enough to hand hold (or use a tripod). For Astro, you would be wide open and use a shutter speed as slow as possible without trailing your stars. Look up the NPF rule.

    Yeah, that’s photography. It has to do with the actually Kelvin temperature of different light sources. Think of a flame, the blue part is the hottest, the orange is the coolest part of the flame.

    Everything you show on a black camera is hard to see. This is because you have chosen a background that is too bright for the video, and the video camera cannot cope with this contrast. She tells you: "I can shoot either a bright background or a black camera with fine details."
