How to Shoot a Photograph in Manual Mode (Canon Rebel t3i)

Maybe I’m doing something wrong but my camera won’t show me what it’s exposure is atp

Great video!

I'm holding the AV button but my dial doesn't make the number move. It is at 00 but when shooting in this mode it doesn't let basically any light in. I'm trying to shoot stars and planets and the moon with a big lense but when I push the capture button it shakes so much that all pictures come out blurry. I was hoping having a higher shutter speed would help reduce shaking

Very clear. Very logical Thanks

Thank you!

Thank you so much man I was so confused😭

Helped a lot thanx

You definitely helped me out , thanks a lot !!

I just bought this my first camera and this video was awesome straight to the point

When I press the shutter button half way (to focus and to see the light bar's reading), it clicks loudly and sounds as if a picture is being taken, but it's not. Is that because it's "opening" the lens to calculate and show the 'light meter" reading? It's very distracting. I (and my subject) always think the picture has been taken. Thanks

Thank you so much for this. Ive had a t3i since it was a new model and I'm just now taking the time to learn how to shoot in manual. This video alone was already such a great start!

It done it for me just now in 2020 thanks

Watching in 2020 after having the camera for since April of 2012

Thanks for sharing. I know all this, but how do you get a sharp, focused picture with the t3i? What I mean is, if you focus on a face in the center of the picture, then move the camera to put the face at the top of the frame and include the person’s body, how do you get the focus to remain on the face for a clear photo? I can’t get a focused picture with my t3i and it’s driving me nuts.

what about if you use flash? do u change any of the settings?

Thanks for the clear explaination. I only used the camera for video, so your advice helped me a lot.

VERY VERY helpful !!!

I was having trouble figuring out my camera lately. I found your video and you’ve made it a lot easier for me to manually set my camera

This video just saved my butt! Thank you. 🙏🏾

Just got the camera..... 2020..... still helpful
Thank you

I've watched a lot of videos on manual mode shooting, but yours was the easiest to understand. The examples as you were talking were invaluable. Thanks!!

Short sweet and straight to the point. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!

Thanks ! Lot of video makers go too much complicated & unnecessary talks while explaining. But I finally found video sticking to point & clearly explained.

Great tutorial, thank you.

I love this camera.

Thanks champ

My shutter speed has to be below 2''5 in room lighting. Above that it is very dark. Why is that? Can you help me out?

Thank you

2021 - When shooting in night mode, the photos get this nice natural yellow color to them, what is happening to give it that effect?

I have the same exact camera but my aperture will not go past F5.0, any tips as to why?

What is the diference between the eos 600d an your cam

2021 and still helping !

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this.

After I take picture I wanna know how to view them

Best video 7 years later… facts and straight to the point. Thank you sir 👌🏾

Is there a way you can make it autofocus without pressing the button?

I have a canon 600 D. I have an issue. In manual shooting with 70-200 mm f/3.5 lens the aperture increase with zoom eith reduces image quality and bokeh. What to do to make it remain constant. Plz help

I still like my T3i. Thanks

I learned more from this video that I have from every other tutorial I’ve watched on the subject! Very helpful. I had no idea the live view gives you a shot preview as you change settings! Thank you!

Started using my Kiss x5 (600d) after 7 years of storage.
My God, I never realized how complicated these things are.

Do you think if I have the latest iPhone (which don’t), this camera would be rather pointless to invest in? Buy 2nd hand lenses,etc?

This was so helpful!

Great explanation

Thanks bro,.just got into the filming/photography and this helped a lot. Try to make music videos... Appreciate the help

How did you get to the screen with the “M” or “Av”? I can’t seem to find it and I’m getting the error message “this function is not selectable in this shooting mode” when trying to select ISO

you explained so many things in such short time thank you !!!

Great Video, Thank You for getting to the point.

Never touch the mirror 😢

Thanks ! Easy to understand I've been shooting film with my old yashica and just recently bought a used canon t3i to finally get into digital .. awesome video ! No more waiting for my pictures !

I am a beginner shooting with a t3i, I watched your video and as I change my shutter speed my light meter does not move it just stays on -3. Im running M, 1/1000, F4.0, ISO Auto. How do I get the light meter to change? My photos are too dark shooting outdoors at night (sports)

2024 and I'm here!
