luckily, you don't need to. Turn on Auto ISO, shoot in Program mode with RAW file format and just focus on shooting photos that interest you. Voila, you'll get 90% great photos in camera, and the remaining 10% can be fixed in post.

This chart is way too complicated than it needs to be. Think of ISO as gain applied in the camera. Ignore it initially.

So all you need to figure out is how much depth of field you want (Aperture) and how much you want to freeze motion (shutter speed).

After that, if your meter is telling you the shot is underexposed, you boost gain. Now, if that gain is giving you too much noise and your image looks bad, you need to compromise aperture, shutter speed, or both to get enough light to keep noise down. That's it, have fun.

If you're just fiddling until the meter is balanced, might as well roll in auto mode

I’m just saying he should do this until he is comfortable with exposure and understands the correlation. Train yourself to quickly understand what works and WHY it works. He’ll learn why he’s getting motion blur, or noise, or his depth of field is too shallow. Then once you learn that you’ll know why the different auto modes are set up the way they are.

or he can just use program mode and not worry about any of that shit and have the camera get the sharpest possible image at all times.

leave your iso on auto on a fixed value and just adjust aperture and shutter speed.

you're basically balancing these 3 settings for the exposure you want, don't get caught up on what's "right" or absolute in terms of proper exposure. I usually leave one of my settings on auto and adjust the other two depending on the situation for example if im trying to freeze action or have wider depth of field.

go out and fuck around with your camera for a few hours and youll get it

Check your metering mode. You may need to change it to better fit your shooting. For example if you are spot metering and shooting something dark against bright skies you will be overexposed. Your manual should explain it pretty well if not there is probably more coherent videos about it on youtube.

>not what I wanted in terms of motion/freezing
That's determined by shutter speed, the faster (smaller fractions) the more motion freezing you will capture.

Hope that helps

1. Set ISO to Auto and never think about it again.
2. Decide whether you're more worried about depth of field or motion blur
3. Set the aperture or shutter according to the most pressong need, and set thr other to the minimum you can get away with
4. Shoot high speed bursts to hedge your bets

isnt the whole point to underexpose because you can bring back shadows much easier than you can highlights? why would you shoot +1 instead of -1...

also i never even tried bracketing and ive been shooting fashion and portraits for like 8 years now

because that's not what he said, bracketing is just auto mode of taking 0EV exposure, -1 under and +1 over, in 7 steps is basically doing that with 7 pics each a third stop apart,

over or under exposure is relative to the scene and camera, perfect as measured exposure might be wrong due to backlighting or spot lighting and anything really, there's no such thing as perfect exposure, so brakceting allows you to get a rnage and pick the best, plus or minus 1 stop though isn't really enough to vary much

i had this "issue" before. a lot of cameras, in my experience, nickon cameras, will make the shot seem "dark" when all they're doing is making sure the shot preserves all the detail and nothing blows out so when you go to edit the raw later it will be great. My fuji camera sorta did the same so i had the EV dial set permanently to +1 or +2 to get muh SOOC jpegs.

seriously unless you're doing a planned and stationary shoot where you're controlling everything, there is no shame in just using P Mode with Auto-ISO limited to what you determine

How can you not get it?

What's there to not get?

There's only 3 settings.
One controls dof
One controls motion blur
One controls brightness

And it's all done in stops, which is a doubling\halving of light, if you go down one stop on one setting and up one stop on another, your image ends up the same brightness.

If you can't GET 2 sentences, maybe you should find a hobby more suited to your level of intellect, like jumping in puddles.

Technically all three control brightness (ergo why they're all part of the exposure triangle), more accurate to say ISO specifically controls sensor/signal processing gain, which is why like the others it can make the image brighter, but uniquely produces increasingly visible noise in turn (since the gain is indiscriminate), as opposed to modifying length of exposure (thus how much motion is frozen) like shutter or depth of field like aperture as their own unique qualities.

Brightness != Exposure

You'd be right in saying all 3 effect exposure.

Hence why it's the exposure triangle, not the brightness triangle.

I would have hoped even with op's exceptionally smooth brain he could have figured out "stops are a doubling\halving of light" would be enough to imply this.
