What Is Manual Mode? Do I Really Have To Learn How To Use It? Hi and welcome to Episode 88 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will 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.

Here is the answery bit.

In manual mode in photography you set the aperture, shutter speed and ISO manually. In manual mode when you take a photo the exposure is determined by what you tell the camera to do – the camera has no influence over the exposure achieved. Manual mode is used by photographers who want complete and creative control of the exposure of an image.
