What camera settings should you use? Mark Wallace walks you through an exercize that helps you to find the right settings to use on your camera for the correct exposure.


Mark explains how to solve the ISO exposure triangle and how to make decisions about the kind of exposure you want. Is controlling motion more important? Depth of focus?

Spreadsheet

Hi, I was able to open the spreadsheet but i only see the headings. The vital info that follows below does not show up :-(. Guess i will have to watch and pause the video and fill in the blanks. Thanks for the video. These are exactly the things im trying to learn sooo much more about. If im faced with really low light situations i really wouldn't want to be using so high of an iso though. I cant stand all that noise. It looks very awful. Wish there was a way around it. Best regards....

Understanding Camera Settings

The first 3 were very helpful. I disagree with the "horrible" and advice of just don't do it. As a parent (and very amatuer photographer) the most important item is to memorialize my child's participation. It won't matter if there is noise or if the light is off somewhat.
