When you really want the best explanation of how your camera works - this man is the option. Thanks Paul!
Ive been too embraced to admit that I could not figure out how to focus my mirror less digital camera....even on auotofocus.
These video tutorials are going to be revolutionary for me.
Hi Paul. I only recently got into photography (at 46 years old!!) and after much reading I decided on the Canon 2000d after you reviewed and recommended it... just wanted to say a big thank you for all your you tube videos!! So clear and by far the easiest videos for learning the basics of photography. Thanks and please keep up the videos
Great to hear, thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment - so glad you're loving your new camera. Thanks for watching, so many more videos to come 😀
I just bought myself an EOS 500D DSLR
Cant wait to get started
Thank you, you are by far, the best on teaching basics on CANON TIPS.....I have a T6, and only after your help, I've able to just start using some of the great features of my camera........You got a fan in Brazil.....
I haven't watched your videos in a while, but watching this made me realize why I started following you in the first place. I had no clue you could adjust the focus by turning the front part of the lense. Thank you for your amazing videos!
Welcome back Alicia - thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave your feedback. There is always something to learn so I'm glad you enjoyed the video and picked up another cool tip.
Best wishes
Paul 😀
Dude thank you so much !!! I just got this thing & all my photos was comin out blurry hahaha. Almost thought I was scammed ! You are a massive help.
Thanks you for watching and supporting the Photo Genius channel - please like and comment as it really helps 👍 😀

By far best tutorial Channel available
I have had the issue with nearly the same settings that the halfway down option takes the photo and doesnt focus. Depending on the scene I am taking, light and all. Why does it do that??? Please answer
Thank you Charles.
If a half press of the photo does not activate Auto Focus then it sounds like you have the AF turned of. Is their a switch on the side of the lens ? If so make sure it is not set to MF (which is manual focus), once switched to AF your problem should be solved. if you have a lens that does not have the switch then you will need to check focus mode settings on the camera.
Hope that helps.
I love videos that demystify relatively straitforward concepts. This opens the door for creative people to explore new mediums. What a great gift! People like you are the backbone of CZcams!
Best video about photography!!!!
Fantastic channel and fantastic teacher. As a 58!! year old newbie, your videos and clear explanations are gold. Another subscriber from UK
I learned a lot from you every time you uploaded a new video. Thank you.
Glad to hear that, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback 👍.
I am new an have a DSLR Canon EOS and watched a lot of your videos and feel Manual is far better than Auto also waiting for my new Zoom 55-300 lense thank you I will keep watching
Thank you so much for your video! I realized how powerful my canon EOS 4000D really is because of you.
I was having trouble getting my camera to focus on specific subjects. You unveiled a lot of hidden gems I didn’t know about as far as specs on the camera that allow us to zoom in closer to focus on our subject. Had a shoot today with a 50mm lens and the pics were beyond amazing.
You’re the goat💪🏽
Thank you Paul, for clarifying the focus points. I was having a tad difficulty grasping the use of them on my Canon 2000 D DSLR.
I have been watching your channel for 10 months, or so, and I learn something new every week... Thank you, John- Pennsylvania. USA
Great to hear John, thank you so much for the feedback and for supporting my channel over the last 10 months - hopefully lots more to come!!
Paul 🙂
Been watching your videos,thank you! I bought the t7/2000D and I’ve never really had a camera. I love all your videos and tutorials mostly because it seems that’s the camera you demonstrate. I have to admit it’s big learning curve and sometimes I have to watch the tutorials over again. It’s been a huge help. Went out to try twice and the second time I was much better
Love these refresher videos. Always learn something new or something I forgot when shooting.
Thank you.
Thank you Paul! I've always stayed away from manual focus for fear of not getting it right, but with your instruction I can now do it! Love your channel!
Great to hear, thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Long time no see, your videos taught me a lot 👏🏽
Welcome back and thanks for watching.
Hi Paul, I'm from India.Can I get complete photography course online?
Hi just wanted to thank you for explaining thing so Precise I am very easy to understand the way you take your time especially when I’m learning.
I have recently purchased the canon eos t7 . And surfed the internet for tutorials. Yours came up and I immediately subscribed. Your videos are very good, you present the information clearly and not overly wordy. I look forward to seeing future videos . And improvement in my photos . Keep up the good work.
Cheers from the UK 👍
Welcome and thank you for watching and supporting.

Thank you for this tutorial is so very knowledgeable to me. I got my cannon 2000d yesterday I'm beginner to take a photo but this vedio is very helpful to me.thank you😊. GOD BLESS YOU
Yet another thing I’ve learned. Thank you. Did not know the difference between the zoom and lens on the front. I’m just learning, I’m slow but I just practice and repeat. Your videos are so far the best to follow and understand. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful, appreciated the feedback.
Ohhh, that's an amazing tip, I've never considered using the digital zoom to get your photo perfectly in focus, gonna try that as soon as my first DSLR arrives!
Such a complicated subject explained in a such simple way... I wish I could LIKE it more than once. Thank you very much.
Your content is Amazing thank you we find Happiness here GodBless you
Thank you very much.
I've been learning so much about the camera I recently bought. I was lost trying to use the manual. Both photos are informative and easy to follow.
Hi, i have just purchased a digital camera and you tutorial is very helpful
I have turn to using back button focus. Fabulous video
A video all about back button focusing will be coming in the near future.
Thanks fro for watching Vincent.
I used to be keen on photography with SLR cameras, but study and life got in the way. Now many years later my family have given me a Nikon DSLR . Your videos are brilliant, helping me to relearn all I had forgotten and guide me in the use of a digital SLR. Your explanations are very clear. Thank you so much!
Thank you for another interesting video. I wish I was close to Brisbane :) You are everything I'm looking for to learn photography.
- You are an outstanding teacher, calm and soft voice,
- You explain in depth the two cameras that I have interest in,
- Your videos are perfect, length, sound and visually crisp,
- I'll stop here before your head don't fit in the door frame :P
Thanks again for all the videos and experience you share with us.
WOW! Thanking you so much for your kind words Mario which are very much appreciated. As a full time photography tutor, nothing gives me more pleasure than helping others achieve their goals and take better photos.
Best wishes to you

Fantastic Video Paul Keep The Good Work UP
Great information in a short, to the point, video! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Very good tips like always,thanks
I agree 100% that we can and should move beyond Auto but. I had my camera for months before I could use it properly as everyone said 'Oh use manual' 'Manual is the only way' and of course, being clueless I tried and failed horribly. So I never diss starting with auto, we just need videos like yours to take that step forward and have even more fun
.
Another incredibly helpful tutorial; thank you Sir...............
So nice of you Julian, thank you very much.
Excellent tips!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.

Love your videos. I learned a couple of things yesterday by watching them and applied them to my camera. I was at a hmm moment. Thank you for doing these helpful videos.
Once again another informative video especially if your like me a complete Novice Keep up the good work looking forward to the next .
Always informative
These videos are very helpful! You make it very easy to understand for beginners like me!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching.
I have read a bit about back button focus, so would be interested in you views on this and whether it is worth switching to, as a possible future video topic. Enjoying the channel.
Thanks Paul. Great tutorial. Is this another way to simplify focusing: 1) choose a single focus point in the center, 2) line that point up with the object you want in focus, 3) half press the shutter, 4) move the camera to frame the desired shot (without removing your finger from the shutter), 5) take the shot. If this works, you never have to mess with changing the focus point. Looking for set it and forget it. Thanks. Tom F
This was very helpful! I sometimes have difficulty getting a nice sharp focus.
Great video as always Paul.
Thanks 👍 🙂
I love your tips! I always learn something new! Thank you!
You are so welcome Rachel, thank you for your support.
Many thanks for your videos finding them very helpful 👍🏻
No problem 👍
Thanks! I learned that I can use digital zoom for focusing in live view. That's a really cool tip; and I look forward to experimenting with it!
Glad it was helpful Carolyn, thank you so much for the feedback and for supporting my channel.
Another great tutorial ! Thank you 👍
You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
Thank you so much. You’ve explained focusing so well. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Always great video 🙂
Very very useful explanation Paul👏👏Love it!,❤️
Hey Paul , really enjoying the videos! I don't suppose you could please do a video on one of the older nikons? (such as a d70s)
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. The D70S is a great camera, but I hav etc be honest and say that as a much older model it is very unlikely that I would make a video specifically about this camera.
I will say that most of the Nikon videos I have made will feature techniques and tips that will apply to your camera.
Great subject. My mom turned 60 in november and I wanted to make some nice pictures with my D3500 and the 35mm F1.8 (bought the lens used one and a half years ago). Everything went well until I noticed that the autofocus stopped working and I had to focus manually. I can still use the lens for astro but for portraits I ordered a brand new lens 😊
Hope then new lens performs better for you, thank you for watching.
@@photogenius Yes it is as solid as expected. If I can take just one lens for travel it would be the 35mm F1.8.
You remined me of, that top right button. That I lost track of lately. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial
Thank God your back
I'm always here.... thank you for supporting.
Learned a lot again. Thank you
Glad to hear it Maria, thank you for watching.
Great video I look forward to them every week.
Thank you for sharing your photo story. I’m very excited for this challenge as I love telling stories. I have two ideas in mind!!
Great tutorial.👍🙂
Thank you! 👍
Very helpful! Thank you so much 👍
