Oh my gosh! My boyfriend is a photographer and he has tried many times to teach me how to use my camera, but it has never worked! This article has really broken a lot of things down for me!
Thank you!

I would definitely not recommend you shoot in Manual all the time, and especially when you’re outside shooting street style or yourself. It would only waste everyone’s time while you figure out the right shutter speed. If you’re not an experienced professional, shooting on A is probably best and will give you the most appealing photos ( think bokeh). Most times your camera will do a better job at setting the correct shutter speed and if you can’t seem to get it right on site shoot in raw and deal with it later.

I’m a Nikon aficionado, as I’ve found their lens are higher quality, and I’d recommend one of Nikon’s starter DSLRs for anyone looking to get more into photography. Unless you really really want to shoot video, get a DSLR without video capabilities as this setting only adds extra costs to the camera body and will damage the sensor over time if you film with it.

I have a Panasonic Lumix (not a DSLR) and I have no idea which setting it should be on for catwalk photos. I’ve used it for years and it used to be fine but for the last year the catwalk pics have been terrible, with the model blurry and the audience in focus. So cringy! Somehow I must have changed the settings but I don’t know what any of the settings do on my camera. Any clues?

Thanks for this, I will be happily playing all day instead of looking at it and saying too hard 🙂
