    So how does ESP work in an Olympus camera's…??? It does something with the background and foreground of the shot.

  2. Prem Ramman says

    For 9:16 and 9:30, cant we use HDR to fix the image instead of exposure ? Or should we be keeping HDR as a last resort ?

    At 10:15 " . . . but back on a real camera . . . " No worries, just funny that's all. Thanks for the help. Knew much of this all ready ( film & garage dark rooms ) (glad that's over !!) but you brought it all together very nicely. Great delivery.

  15. Richard White says

    Excellent series, information is delivered accurately and concisely. Should be noted that spot metering is particualrly useful for night photography. Source: I shot vehicle light trails, using a long exposure in Piccadilly Circus last night and got perfectly exposed photos using spot metering.

  17. Gaurav Parashar says

    The way of presenting the information through the animation is really great. One can forget by listening but the way you have presented the aperture and light falling into the bucket is unforgettable. Loved it!!

    This is incredibly helpful and easy to understand. I'm in school and have a photography class and the info in this video made these modes, especially f-stop, make more sense. I actually practiced the aperture mode while watching and YES I could see the difference in the depth of field. THANK YOU!

  22. sebastian penny says
