00:00:04:06 - 00:00:30:02 Unknown Operating the canon T5, II. Table of contents. Chapter one setting your image quality. Chapter two exposure. Adjusting shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Three working with your zoom and focus rings. And chapter four setting your white balance. Chapter one setting your image quality. On the first page of your menu, select Image Quality. Here you will select your shooting format as Raw or JPEG. 00:00:30:04 - 00:00:52:07 Unknown JPEG will shoot a compressed image format ready to view or print right away if shooting in JPEG. You can select large, medium, or small. Each of these options also includes a fine compression, high quality and normal compression. Lower quality. Raw files record all sensor data without compression. This is best if you plan to edit colors and light later using software. 00:00:52:09 - 00:01:14:15 Unknown Raw Plus Large will create both a large JPEG as well as a Raw file. For this tutorial we will select large Fine. The image quality you choose is up to you. Large fine is a good place to start, but keep in mind that higher quality images will create larger files and fill up your SD card quicker. Chapter two exposure adjusting shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. 00:01:14:17 - 00:01:34:06 Unknown The main screen on the camera tells us the settings that we are currently using. In the top left you can see what shooting mode you're in. Since we are in manual mode. You will see a large M next to the M. We can see our shutter speed, aperture or F-Stop and ISO. These three settings work together to control the amount of light in your image, which is called exposure. 00:01:34:08 - 00:01:57:11 Unknown To adjust these settings, press the Q button on the bottom left of the touch screen or press the physical Q button to the right of the screen. This will bring out the Quick Control screen. From here, you can select the setting you want to change. You can either double tap the setting on the touch screen and adjust it using the touchscreen controls, or navigate through the settings using these arrows and adjust them with the main control dial on the top right of the camera. 00:01:57:13 - 00:02:17:07 Unknown Let's start with shutter speed. Shutter speed controls how long the camera sensor is exposed to light when taking a photo. A faster shutter speeds, such as one over 500, lets in less light and can help freeze motion. A slower shutter speed, such as one over 30, lets in more light, but can create motion blur if either the camera or your subject is moving. 00:02:17:09 - 00:02:40:19 Unknown As a general rule, multiply your lens focal length by 1.6 to determine your minimum shutter speed. For example, all the way zoomed out at 18mm, shutter speed should be 1/30 of a second, zoomed in at 55mm. Use at least 1/90 of a second, which rounds up to 1/100 on your dial when recording video. Your shutter speed should be set to about twice your frame rate. 00:02:40:20 - 00:02:59:10 Unknown For example, if you are shooting in 30 frames per second, your shutter speed should be at 1/60 of a second. Keep in mind that for video, you don't want to use shutter speed to correct your exposure. Instead, choose an appropriate shutter speed for your frame rate and then use lighting, ISO, and aperture to correct your exposure and get the look that you want. 00:02:59:12 - 00:03:19:23 Unknown Now let's look at aperture, also called F-Stop or Iris. Aperture is measured in f stops and controls how large the opening inside the lenses. A lower f stop, such as f over 3.5, means a larger opening and lets in more light, while a higher F-Stop lets in less light. You'll notice that your lowest available F-Stop number increases as you zoom in. 00:03:20:04 - 00:03:44:01 Unknown This is because as you zoom in, your lens lets in less light and so the minimum available F-Stop number becomes higher. Finally, we have ISO. A higher ISO makes the camera's recorded image brighter by amplifying the signal coming from the sensor. It does not make the sensor physically collect more light. Because of this, a higher ISO such as 800 or 1600 will introduce more noise or grain into your image. 00:03:44:03 - 00:04:03:10 Unknown A lower ISO, such as 100 generally produces a cleaner image with less visible noise. It is important that you do not rely on a high ISO to set your exposure, but instead use external lighting in a dimly lit environment. When setting your exposure, remember that these three settings aren't just about how much light is in your image, they affect you in different ways. 00:04:03:16 - 00:04:25:19 Unknown Shutter speed affects motion. Aperture affects depth of field, and ISO digitally amplifies the light in your image, which can add grain or noise to it. Chapter three working with your zoom and focus rings. We will now take a look at the Zoom and Focus rings on your lens. First, click the camera icon to the right of your viewfinder to view your live image on the LCD screen. 00:04:25:21 - 00:04:44:21 Unknown The larger ring closer to the camera body is your zoom ring. Turning this ring changes the focal length of your lens, allowing you to zoom in or out of your subject. The smaller ring towards the front of your lens is your focus ring. On the left side of your lens is an affirmative switch. This toggles between auto focus and manual focus. 00:04:44:23 - 00:05:05:04 Unknown We will set it to manual focus. Now that you are in manual focus, you can turn the focus ring and control the focus yourself. Turn the focus ring slowly while looking at your subject on the LCD screen to make sure your shot is in focus. Zoom all the way into the most detailed part of your subject. Set your focus and then zoom back out to make this process quicker. 00:05:05:05 - 00:05:23:12 Unknown You can use the magnifying glass plus button to the top right of your camera body. This button temporarily enlarges the image on the LCD screen, making it easier to check and set your focus. This only magnifies the camera's display and does not actually zoom in the lens, and will have no impact on the image being photographed or recorded. 00:05:23:14 - 00:05:41:23 Unknown Chapter four Setting your White balance. Now lets white balance. White balance controls how your camera interprets the color of light in your scene. Setting the correct white balance ensures that whites look white and the overall color of your image appear natural. It is very important that you do not set a white balance until after you have let your scene. 00:05:42:01 - 00:06:04:21 Unknown If your lighting changes, you should also change white balance accordingly to access white balance. Open up the quick control screen by pressing the Q button. Select AWB or WB the T5. It gives you several white balance presets. For most situations, Auto White Balance or AWB is a good place to start. The camera will automatically estimate the color of light and adjust the image accordingly. 00:06:04:23 - 00:06:23:04 Unknown If you know what type of lighting you are working with, you can also choose a matching preset. For example, daylight can be used when shooting outside in direct sunlight. Sometimes the preset white balance options or auto white balance aren't quite right for the lighting in your scene. The best way to ensure that you have the correct white balance is to set your own custom white balance. 00:06:23:06 - 00:06:44:22 Unknown All you need is a white part or just a white piece of paper. To set a custom white balance. Place your white paper in the same lighting as your subject, with no strong shadows or reflections on it. Make sure your lens is on manual focus and take a photograph of the paper. Next, press the menu button and navigate to the second camera icon page and select Custom White Balance. 00:06:45:00 - 00:07:08:04 Unknown The camera will display the photographs currently on your SD card. Select the photograph you just took of your white paper. Select okay to use this photograph as your custom white balance reference. Now return to the shooting screen and open the white Balance settings using the Q button. Select custom White balance. Your camera will now use the reference photograph to determine the appropriate white balance when set to custom white balance. 00:07:08:10 - 00:07:20:20 Unknown If you change to a different white balance preset, you can return to custom at any time, and your most recently set custom white balance will still be saved. 00:07:20:22 - 00:07:23:01 Unknown With.
