I understand what Tv and Av modes do, but what are the letters supposed to actually mean (or be short for)? And the easiest way for me to remember aperture is 0 = Open and anything higher is going towards closed

Can you help me with blurry images in auto mode? Was working just fine then don't remember if I changed settings when images started coming out blurry even though it is in auto mode.
Oh my gosh, where have you been all my photo student-life?!! You are seriously the best photography teacher I have ever heard or seen. I see next to this video that you said goodbye, not sure why, but please know that your teaching is amazing, and lives on as long as these videos are up. Cheers, Cat-
For the beginners... You are not completely stuck with a bad jpg picture. You can edit jpg as well - you just don't have as much control as you would have with RAW.

If you’re going to edit, better to use RAW + JPG so you still at least have the option
I have had 2 classes on photography and you gave me more insight on settings in 24 minutes than both of them which were hours long. Well Done!!!

NEVER ever heard of or thought of compression consciously. AMAZING video. Thanks!
I've been a DSLR user for a couple years now and of course still learning.. Never knew about zoom and compression. Thanks for explaining it clear and concisely!
Incredibly concise and digestible. VERY helpful.
Brilliant and comprehensive! In fact, it is the best 24 minute video I've come across on these on these need to know elements of photography. Thank you.

I just want to say thank you for what you're doing with this channel. I recently bought myself a Canon M50 Mark II and because of you I have learned so much about photography over the last few weeks and I have tried out a few of your tips and it has absolutely changed my photography game so thank you very much!
I recently bought the M50 MKII with the kit lens. Without a doubt this has been my go to channel in familiarising myself with the camera functions and variations in lens use. A comprehensive channel with clear and easy to interpret instructions for someone new to photography on a budget. Well done and keep up the awesome work Mark!

Thanks for keeping this practical and simple for us long term beginners. You didn’t get lost in the high level theory or professional jargon that so many do. This was very helpful
Thank you for this. I’ve watched several videos that tell you apply particular settings but fail to explain why. Your videos are the most helpful.
I just got my first camera and this video is soooo helpful! The way you explained how focal length works is the most clear explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you for all the work you do!
I started to learn Photography by myself 5 years ago, and rn i'm finishing my photography degree, this vídeo is almost everything in tech regard that i've learned, really well explained, glad to have great teachers like you on the internet
Mark, you are a Brilliant teacher!! I can't say enough how much I appreciate your delivery and style. Wishing you the BEST! SUBSCRIBED!!👍
This video takes many years of experience and condenses it into 24 of the most valuable minutes anyone can spend learning photography. Bravo!
I watched this directly after today's video about cinematic results for the R10. I must have been out to lunch 7 months ago when this came out but you got me twice today. Happy Holiday and New Year. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Dude! You killed it. Especially compression. I had no idea about this before now. Thank you so much. BTW, I got here following a link at the end of your video discussing the discontinuation of Canon M series. Don't have one, but I did appreciate the optional strategies to consider when this occurs on whatever gear you have. For me, you're one of the most palatable KZread creators. And for that reason, I watch a lot of your "shows"! ;)
Thanks Mark. I find your vedio useful for understanding the basics and applying to take good pictures.
Such a helpful video! I'm learning photography and have watched a LOT of how-tos...you're the only one to talk about compression so far. Thank you so much for this!

So nice to hear, thanks fos sharing that.
thank you, the first video on photography that gives a good comparison for viewers. Most channels tell you what but never show how.
Covered all the bases clearly and comprehensively. Thank you.
I'm a beginner and this is the best and most useful tutorial I've seen so far. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I've been here for your lens reviews but had absolutely no idea you did videos on photography lessons and tips! I learned so much, thank you! Love your 'teaching' voice too, it's quite noticeably different from your other videos 😄 cheers
So much knowledge stripped of all arrogance! No "you have to go full manual", instead just focusing of what matters in practice. Thanks! Personally, I am inspired to look into picture profiles!
Thank you so much for the useful tip! Good luck Mark!
This was one of the most informative camera videos that I've watched on KZread. Thank you!
Fantastic video, Thank you for making how a camera works simpler to understand. Great information. Cheers!!!
Your videos are so good. I love all your content. The information you include is so valuable and you deliver it on such a clear and easy to understand way (which I think is much harder than being super technical). Thanks for all your tips!

Thank you so much for this great, accurate, concrete, comprehensive, detailed lesson..thanks for your time and passion of teaching sir.
Excellent video!! Just getting back into photography after many years away, and it's good to have these reminders of all these factors. I just picked up a second hand zoom lens, and wasn't aware of the compression factor - so it was fascinating to learn of the different effects that can be achieved by using compression. I will definitely experiment, and even try some portrait photography with it!
Excellent just what I needed. So much that I had forgotten with a lull in my activity.
New to photography here, learned so much in so little time! Thanks for the video.
Thank you Mark, this has to be the most thorough, yet digestible intro I've ever seen. Please do one for shooting video/cinema!
Best explanation of I heard of these functions, Thank you so much!
Great overview. Very well explained. Excellent content. Keep up the good work.
Such detailed and awesome video. Learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent teaching and teaching style. Love how extensive and complete this is. Wow. I am learning about creating valuable content. I love your set up too. I am going to check you out more. Thanks!

An epic thank you for explaining that zoom and compression feature. As a noob I always heard it said, to avoid using the zoom as much as possible. But no one explained why, till now.
Your videos are always in detail and sooo much easier to understand especially by showing us an example with the numbers and etc on the screen. Instead of just explaining! And It's very rare to find these people here so you are one of them and I wanna say thank you

Absolutely the best basic tutorial! Mark. I started with photography in the late 1960s before I knew anything about how the interaction of exposure/aperture/ISO (ASA then) affected images. I've taken classes (on-line and collage level) and have built upon that education over the years and practiced A LOT. Yes, my photography has improved but lately I've found myself uninspired mainly because photography has become formulaic. I shoot AV 90% of the time because it's how "I've always done it". After watching this video I'm inspired again. Trying the Canon Picture Styles wasn't even on my radar before but it is now...shoot Tv...start looking for opportunities....Zoom lens compression techniques...ditto. I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed them immensely. One thing I'd like to see you do though, introduce the lens you're reviewing at the beginning. A few times I'll watch and wonder "....manufacturer?...model?". Now I have to subscribe so I don't miss your future reviews/tips. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos. Very, very impressed!
First time ever I have heard and seen someone explain the whole zoom/compression factor. Had I not seen this video I don't how soon I would of ever realized it...probably years from now if at all. Super great to of caught this video to learn this and a huge factor in proper scene and creative shot placement. That just made me a subscriber! Thank you!

Been shooting off and on, for a little over a year now, and still replay your videos to keep this info fresh in my brain. Still trying to find a good lens to pair with my m50 and the crane m3
The compression explanation is top notch. It is something that I've noticed only about the blur effect of the background but never seemed to realized that "approximation" of the background via the compression effect. It is very useful. Thank you very much.

I just stumbled upon your site. Although I'm a year late, it was a very good presentation, albeit right at first I thought he should know not everyone has a Canon camera (e.g., Tv mode). Thorough job though explaining many different aspects...very glad I finished watching. You have a new subscriber now.
I never paid attention to compression you explained it so well thanks
Wow exactly what I needed thanks
Very nicely explained in a simple understandable language !
Thank you for this video!!! I am a newer to the photography scene, and I have been struggling with a lot of the stuff you talked about. I started out with my aperture as low as I could possible go, and was confused as to why certain photos looked good and others didn't look so good. I didn't realize that around F8 is where you want it if you wanted everything in focus. I also tried doing some super close up pictures at the widest focal length, and then zooming in to get the same picture and they look completely different. I have tried recreating some really nice looking pictures I have seen online where there's something off in the distance that I want to highlight in a picture, and I could never figure out how other photographers got it to look like it's naturally closer than it is. After watching this video so much stuff makes sense now.
