This video was a revelation to me. I too was stuck in the mode of using manual settings and often ended up stressing myself out over constantly changing scenarios during events. Thanks for this video which covered the essentials of Sony camera modes and how to leverage them for personal shoots. Subscribed to you for future similar content. You have been the very few KZreadrs who provides realistic solutions for event/wedding shooters. Thank you🙏

I got to put this to the test at a wedding I did earlier today! This 100% made the process better! My second photographer is a novice, and rarely shoots manual and she knocked it out of the park and felt it was a easy method! Glad I came across this video!

Thank you so VERY MUCH! I've been shooting outdoor portraits for years and want to do more weddings. This has helped me immensely! You explain it soo well! I am switching to aperture priority for most things!

Thanks, you're a life saver! I wanted to take advantage of the minimal bokah you get from the smaller sensor on the a6660 and was finding the shutter speed hovering as low as 1/25th and wasn't going to be happy with the motion blur so those settings you showed are a game changer.

Thank you for explaining this in a clear and concise way. Peter.

The last time I shot in manual mode was when I was using film in the studio in my product photography career. Today, I use Program mode almost exclusively. I can shift the Program mode with just the thumb control wheel to change shutter or aperture values. I can also shift exposure with front control wheel. I do have full control in Program mode on my camera.

Hi Jiggie! Great video. I used to shoot in A-priority mode but found that I hated it when it came down to editing photos when the I would be off by 1/3 of a stop from one photo to the next on portraits shoots. Manual became a solution to batch editing inconsistencies and I find it useful for this purposes. However, I find myself having to adjust on the fly for wedding ceremonies and it becomes a pain to constantly be adjusting. I think I will try A-priority mode more often for certain situations after watching your video. Thank you for opening my eyes to the point that other pros are using this and it works well for them.

Thanks for going over why you don’t shoot manual. I learned back in the days of film when manual was all you had. My concerns with shooting in auto is that the camera may not set it correctly, especially when shooting with a bright background (like snow). I found it very interesting (and helpful) the way you shoot in auto modes. One thing I was not aware of is the ability to set limits (such as minimum shutter speed) on the camera. For the way you shoot I can see where the auto can be more of an advantage for you. Thanks for sharing your process for shooting in the auto.

Excellent tutorial Jiggie. I tried this method on my canon 6D. Aperture & TV (Speed) mode works well as you said in bright light. I obtained my final results much faster. The downside is in low light with my flash (Canon 600EXII-RT). The camera speed can go below 1/60 and my ISO is automatically 400. The flash overrides my min speed of 1/60 and auto ISO in both modes. Nothing perfect!

One of the first things I learned in photography is that auto was not just something that only amateurs use. I noticed is that despite the fact that a professional photographer was working in perhaps aperture priority they were still quite aware of what their three settings should be. They were working outside of manual mode not to allow the camera to do the thinking but rather to increase the speed of resetting exposures from one capture to the next.

I love aperture priority. Although I really consider it aperture/iso priority. I try to always maintain control of two aspects of the exposure triangle. AP has made shooting faster and more fun. But for me the biggest advantage, I am now thinking about light and composition and not fiddling with controls.

If I'd shoot in manual mode at a wedding, 90% of my pics would be over-or underexposed. Your camera is right most of the time.

The principles are not brand specific :)

Hey Jiggie, I hear you on this but why not shoot in manual with auto ISO. The result is the same in that your images are well exposed and you can still use the exposure compensation if you want to under expose or over expose? The benefit of this is that you choose the aperture and or shutter speed without having to switch priority modes and let the ISO take care of itself. Speed is of the essences in wedding photography and having to remember which priority mode you are in makes no sense to me. Likewise people who shoot in total manual when the you have to quickly change between portraits and candid moments, in light and shade, still subjects or moving subjects will miss shots fiddling with their camera balancing the exposure triangle over a photographer who can get to their setting much quicker. So for me, I have all the control I need with two dials, one finger for shutter speed and a thumb for aperture.

i am a new shooter of sony only in manual mode and will try this in future shoots, thanks sir

Thank you for your video tutorial. I shoot in manual mode with auto iso outdoor and indoor. (Because I found that in the past the camera priority iso over shutter speed doesn’t give me enough speed to freeze people/kids movements) What is your views on it in comparison of aperture priority with auto iso? (I have subscribed by the way)

I totally agree with you
