Do you have classes in Chicago?
I explain that in the 60 seconds prior to doing it. I’m locking the exposure on the interior light.
My name is Mark but I am not the Mark from Adorama although I am a semi pro shooter. What Mark was doing on the video by pointing the camera down at her waist was he was “Metering” the dark area of the room. If he would had pointed the camera at her face the camera would had metered in the sun leaving her face underexposed. Try this on your own and you’ll see how cool this is for capturing awesome pictures.
hey ! why would you point at her waist 11:04 for ? and u took a portrait after ?
I wish mark would say “RTFM” to such questions 😛
Or PENTAX!! 😛 1:17
There should be a video made on how to use DSLR for filming by Adorama!
and No I’m not talking about the ones already made. Like a proper series which has what memory card to use and stuff!
Canon and Nikon are two popular models. He used those two because viewers will most likely have one of the two, moron.
even i can tell that “Getting to know your DSLR” isnt an educational video for you, so why watch it just to moan about it…
totally agree, but must be difficult to show every brand in the world, but at least showing canon and nikon Mark help the vast majority of users. Thank you Mark! your videos are a huge help
but are the best!!!!!
Stop being a jerk, use common sense dude. They’re obviously and unarguably the most used brands. Do you really expect Mark to sit and make videos for all the cameras in the world? huh?
Great Tutorials as usual!
Umm did she get a manual with her camera? :/
Don’t leave home without it 🙂
haha exactly thank you for proving my point. indeed they are the most popular brands hence why he shows those two. i never said they were the best and thats an irrelevant point with what we are discussing anyways.
Better read up on hard numbers before coming up with percentages. Canon + Nikon held about 65% of the DSLR market in 2010. 35% is not statistically insignificant.
I would also note that Canon and Nikon are only the most popular brands, they are not the best.
haha how can i be a fan boy i didnt even say which one i like. it would only be stupid for him to waste time talking about the other 1% of the market.
Go be a fanboy somewhere else.
the only ones that matter
A lot of people are not buying a DSLR because they want to be a pro photographer. They simply have the money to buy but are too busy to bother reading the manual or understanding the terms when they can just have someone explain it to them within an hour. I know so, because I help people at my work with their DSLR even after they read the manual. I know the feeling ’cause I went through that BS when I first got my Canon Rebel XT.
On note, I’m not a bias, I know about Mamiya and others
You mean it isn’t best for people who can’t read? Profficiency in photography means being both artistic and technical, and if you can’t be bothered to take initiative and learn proper use of your tools, you’re better off with a compact or superzoom.
Mamiya, but I hate brand bias. Canon and Nikon’s only advantage is availability of 500mm+ lenses and, let’s face it, you shouldn’t be buying into a system based on the availability of a $6000 lens.
Your point being?
The manual isn’t the best thing for everybody, especially the more visual type of people
Canon and Nikon aren’t the only brands but they are the top ones. I bet you have a Pentax.
