What Does Manual Mode Mean And Do I Have To Learn It? (Yes You Do). Hi and welcome to Episode 117 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google. No Google required but I did need my camera which was nice.

Before I go on I need your help. I need your questions to answer. More on this at the end.

Here is the answery bit.
Manual mode is the mode where you set the aperture, shutter speed and ISO when you take a photo. You decide all the camera settings, not the camera. You should learn how to use manual mode as there are times when you will need it, and understanding manual mode helps you learn the exposure triangle.

You should learn how to use manual mode, but you do not have to use it all the time.

Listen for more, or check out the transcript and even the blog post - so many ways to find out more!
