    Thank you Omar. I know these 'tutorial' type vids don't do as well for views/likes but they are some of your best content. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that those of us who do watch them *really* *really* appreciate that you still do them. You're a great teacher as well as being a great photographer (and youtuber). Please keep them up!

    Thank you for this series! You have given me some great ideas for my photo shoots from now on. Just one of the many points that blew my mind was when you talked about bokeh being more obvious at 55mm rather than at a wider angle. I had never thought about focal length affecting depth of field. Also...using burst mode with bugs. Please keep these videos coming!

    Visually I'm a firstly compositional thinker. I walk or drive around, looking ... and decide which focal length and d.o.f. I want for capture. That necessarily then brings me to aperture (unless the subject is action). So for me I'd place your first column as _third_ because auto vs manual is merely the method to reach how I use the first two choices. The trouble with photography is that ultimately ain't none of it unimportant. The other day I participated in a quick and casual shoot or my kid and her friends indoors, all dressed up to go to "a formal" (middle school dance.) I brought one lens, the wrong one, because I prioritized its low light capability instead of firstly being able to capture the scenes (focal length). Rookie mistake.

    I think that in Fuji Cameras if you set the Dynamic Range to Auto at scene with harsh contrasting light it will go to something like DR 200% and boost the ISO up so people if you don't want the camera to pick higher ISO when you leave Auto ISO maybe consider turning off DR Auto
