hey everyone it's Matt here again from
0:01
Filter grade and today I just wanted to
0:03
talk a little bit about the various
0:05
different shutter release modes on the
0:08
Nikon d750 it's just something that's
0:10
helpful when you're shooting in
0:11
different situations something that I
0:14
really I used to never even know about I
0:15
would just always be shooting in single
0:17
single shutter release mode um which is
0:20
the I think the most standard and most
0:22
basic but after shooting in various
0:25
different settings and working with
0:26
different photographers and creative
0:27
teams I started to understand that
0:30
there's actually different shutter
0:31
release modes for different scenarios
0:33
that can really benefit the way that
0:35
you're shooting um so let's just go
0:37
ahead and get into it the way that
0:38
you're even going to find your shutter
0:40
release
0:41
modes based on the camera are right here
0:44
so on this ring you have all these
0:46
different settings but if you look
0:49
closely at the side right here you can
0:53
see all these different little letters q
0:55
c
0:56
q c s all these different um little
1:00
modes that before I just genuinely I
1:03
never even knew about so today to show
1:05
you how to change them what you're going
1:07
to do is Click down on this little
1:10
button right here and as you're doing
1:13
that that's when you can spin the rest
1:16
of the wheel so that you can be changing
1:19
the shutter mode so it's a little bit of
1:22
a two-step mechanism if you're not
1:23
holding it down it won't actually move
1:25
so make sure you hold again hold this
1:28
little button right here
1:31
down as you're doing
1:34
that then go ahead and twist on this on
1:39
the bottom ring not on this top ring
1:41
where m a SP all those modes are but
1:44
along the bottom ring right there give
1:47
you a little bit of a
1:50
better this button
1:55
here and
1:58
then rotate that bottom ring so we'll
2:00
start with s and I'll go all the way
2:03
around the ring so you can get a little
2:04
bit of a better understanding s is just
2:07
the simple single frame um standard
2:11
shooting mode when you shoot like this
2:13
it's going to be you shoot one time if
2:15
you hold it down you don't continue
2:17
shooting you just get one one single
2:20
frame um the next mode Let's go ahead
2:24
and switch it to CL this is continuous
2:28
loud
2:32
so let's go ahead and switch it to the
2:34
next
2:35
mode put that back
2:37
[Music]
2:39
down this is a little bit difficult but
2:42
so yeah click on this button again
2:44
switch this mode and now we're on CL as
2:47
you can see CL is for continuous low
2:50
speed but if you want to be shooting um
2:54
multiple frames while holding down the
2:55
shutter you
2:57
can click on it and and as you can see
3:00
it just continues shooting this is
3:02
what's called continuous low speed so if
3:04
you're shooting some some moving objects
3:07
sometimes this is really helpful because
3:09
then you can just continue with the
3:11
holding down as you're following them as
3:13
opposed
3:14
to pressing it individually time that's
3:18
why I think it's good to know about
3:20
these because before I would just always
3:21
be shooting in in single frame mode
3:24
going 1 2 3 4 whereas if you're using
3:28
different settings it's honestly really
3:29
helpful because you can just use it for
3:33
whatever necessity or whatever reason
3:35
that you're shooting for so if you're
3:37
shooting when in single frame mode
3:39
that's probably better if you're
3:40
shooting portraits or still lifs or
3:42
anything that's just not moving and then
3:44
once you move on to the continuous one
3:47
it helps a lot so that while you're
3:49
moving
3:50
around you can follow your subject and
3:52
continue shooting without having to
3:54
worry about continuously pressing the
3:56
shutter um so the next one I'll go ahead
4:00
and switch it again go ahead and hold
4:02
down again on the button and then slide
4:06
forward now we're
4:08
at CH if you can it's a little bit
4:11
blurry but as you can see we're at CH so
4:13
this is continuous highp speed again
4:16
it's another continuous for movement
4:18
type of
4:19
shooting but it shoots a lot faster so
4:22
this is something that if you're
4:24
shooting in in um fine raw images
4:27
especially if you're using fine jpeg and
4:30
fine raw fine raw where you're shooting
4:32
both types of file formats at one time
4:35
your your card might fill up fast but
4:37
it's really helpful especially if you're
4:38
shooting sports or um people walking or
4:42
running it's really beneficial
4:45
cuz as you can see in here it's it's
4:48
continuously shooting really really fast
4:51
which is super helpful so the next one
4:55
is going to
4:56
be the Q setting
5:05
as you can see it's oh it's so blurry
5:09
but okay so I'm going to hold the button
5:13
down and switch it to Q so the next one
5:17
on here is quiet shutter mode this is if
5:20
you're I guess if you're using it for
5:22
street photography or in
5:26
a some some type of an area where you
5:28
don't want the shut better to be making
5:30
too much noise for yourself um it's
5:34
still relatively loud in my opinion it
5:37
could be like much more silent compared
5:40
to some other camera shutters but at the
5:42
same time it is a little bit more silent
5:45
than if you're using the continuous
5:46
regular or the standard mode so just
5:49
something to think about not too much of
5:51
a difference here but it is just a
5:53
little bit quieter and the same goes for
5:56
the next setting as you can see QC
6:00
this is actually for quiet
6:03
continuous again still relatively loud
6:06
as you can hear it I'm sure but it's
6:08
just another mode of of shooting and
6:11
super helpful for when you need it so
6:13
let's move on to the next one um right
6:16
after QC you can see there's a little
6:18
timer and this is actually going to be
6:22
the self timer mode so if you want to
6:25
have anything for self-portraits or for
6:29
um
6:30
anything on a tripod whether you're
6:32
using group shots or you just want to
6:34
have something where you prop the camera
6:37
up and you don't actually have to be
6:38
behind it to shoot what it's going to do
6:41
is you press the shutter after it you're
6:43
going to see the light go off and then I
6:46
think it's 10 seconds might be like 8 to
6:48
10 seconds after a little
6:51
while it takes a frame it only shoots
6:53
one at a time which is okay especially
6:56
if you're just doing your your your um
6:58
your imag on a timer you shouldn't need
7:01
more than one I guess and if you do that
7:03
way you can come back open up your your
7:06
menu and see the the preview of the
7:09
image and readjust your composition and
7:12
everything like that and then when
7:13
you're ready to shoot another one go
7:15
ahead get it back on your tripod press
7:17
the shutter and watch the light as you
7:19
can see it speeds up at first and then
7:21
it slows down a little right before it's
7:23
about to shoot and
7:25
then it holds right before it's about to
7:28
shoot it holds on so that you can kind
7:30
of um mentally time out when the photo
7:34
is actually going to be
7:35
shot and the last mode that we actually
7:38
have on the list of shutter release
7:41
modes if I'm I'm going to go ahead and
7:43
click and switch it last time this is
7:46
the last one on the list and it's m as
7:49
you can see this stands for Mirror up
7:51
position this is to avoid any camera
7:53
shake for long exposures such as for
7:56
when you're doing nighttime photography
7:58
or when when you're doing uh as Astro
8:02
photography it's really beneficial and I
8:08
think as you can hear it just stays open
8:12
the whole time that you click it so it
8:14
can
8:15
be um used for much longer exposures
8:19
that's why it's more predominantly used
8:21
at night time and especially while
8:23
you're using a tripod or a
8:25
monopod um because really you're in
8:28
control of when the actual camera will
8:32
open and close its shutter so this is a
8:37
lot of times even if you're using it for
8:39
certain type of portraiture shoots you
8:41
might have the little bit where you're
8:43
dragging out your image and you're
8:45
you're going to want to play with the
8:47
shutter release mode for the mup as well
8:49
as your shutter speed so that you can
8:51
kind of get a nice motion blur or motion
8:54
Distortion that you're looking
8:57
for so that you can get a nice motion
9:00
Distortion but realistically it's just
9:03
for me it's just really beneficial to
9:05
know the different types of shutter
9:07
release mode so that you can kind of
9:09
play around with them regardless of what
9:12
situation you're in there's been times
9:13
when I was shooting self-portraits and I
9:17
knew that okay nobody's here to shoot
9:19
them for me or even if there are and I
9:21
want to shoot them by myself I have the
9:23
timer if I need to if I'm shooting at
9:25
night time and I have my my tripod then
9:28
I can always use the mirror up mode and
9:30
really do the own calculations in my
9:33
head to to better understand of when I
9:35
want to open and close the shutter
9:37
there's even been times at I remember
9:40
when I first started using quiet
9:42
continuous mode I was at Fashion Week
9:44
because a I didn't want my camera to be
9:46
too loud making all this noise and and
9:49
attracting all this attention but I also
9:51
knew there's people walking by me very
9:53
fastly and I don't want to be sitting
9:55
here just continuously pressing the
9:58
button so I remember vividly when I
10:02
learned this from another photographer
10:05
that was actually standing near by me in
10:06
the booth at Fashion Week and basically
10:09
he was saying like oh yeah you can you
10:11
don't have to just you know continually
10:13
press like as people are going by
10:15
there's different modes cuz he as well
10:17
he had an icon and he showed me the
10:19
different release modes at the time and
10:21
then from then on kind of when I knew
10:23
that I would be in a high-paced
10:24
situation like that whether it was for
10:26
fashion or for athletics or for really
10:29
just any movement type of type of
10:31
photography I just knew okay put your
10:33
camera in
10:35
QC and just continue following people so
10:39
it's always helpful to know the
10:41
different shutter release modes even if
10:43
you're not continuously bouncing back
10:45
and forth between them now now that I
10:47
know the difference between all of them
10:49
I really don't switch often unless once
10:52
I get to set I know I'm going to be
10:54
shooting something different or once I
10:55
get out to the field I'm know I'm going
10:57
to be shooting different make one little
10:59
Quick Fix quick adjustment and then from
11:02
there just move forward and really just
11:04
go about shooting how I normally would
11:06
but with the knowledge that I'm using
11:08
the correct um adjustments and tools for
11:11
my camera so if you have any questions
11:13
feel free to leave them Below in the
11:14
comments it's pretty self-explanatory
11:17
once you figure it out but I will say it
11:18
is really beneficial to actually know
11:20
this um this this just adjustment tool
11:25
because before before you know about it
11:27
you might not even realize like that you
11:29
have that as an option so I appreciate
11:31
you checking out this little quick
11:33
demonstration if you have any questions
11:35
feel free to leave them in the comments
11:36
but other than that have a great day
11:38
peace
11:57
