Welcome aboard!
Thank you! Appreciate you simplifying things for people like me (new owner of an f8), and kind of new to photography. Had to watch it a number of times (or rewind a part) to catch it all. Thanks again!
Finally a clip from which I learned a lot. Thank you

Good solid instruction. I am a long time professional photographer myself. These are things I do automatically. Explaining the process is not easy well done.

Fantastic video, I learned a lot! One question, How do you know proper shutter speeds? As beginner I would not know that you need more than 1/20 for a stationary object.

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
TY for the video. Can we able to Set Copyright information from menu. I am not Able to see that option. Where we can see?

Hmmm, I'm not sure if that's an option on the R8.
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 😊

I'd be on manual, and let your histogram guide your exposure decisions.
Please make a video on how shutter speed and fps works in video.

@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.

That's a tough one. I would probably go for the R8 and spend the extra money on lenses.
hey, why my canon R8, no ISO 100 option.? the lowest is ISO 200

That's weird! Are you in manual mode?
I buy a card for every camera I buy and format it . I messed a few cheaper card and switching cameras. No longer buy cheap card either

Always a great idea to format your cards!!
Why do you say that the R8 has only electronic shutter? It's also got electronic first curtain shutter, which is partially mechanical.
@forestchaput

True! However there is no "true" fully mechanical shutter.

Ensure your lens is fully attached. Maybe try removing and reinstalling.

Why is blue called warm and orange called cool? that seems counter intuitive
@forestchaput

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.

@@forestchaput got it! Thx. So much to learn.
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."

I'm sorry you feel that way. I found it perfectly readable.
