This is a short introductory lesson on the basic shooting modes as found on the Canon 40D. However, many of these modes are found on all cameras, so it should be helpful to anyone interested in what those little icons mean. I hope you enjoy the video! If you are interested in purchasing the full length DVD on either the Canon 40D or my Photography Crash Course, they can be ordered from the following link: michaelthementor.com

Thank you for the video’s in reference to the 40D. they are very helpful to me….
Thanks for your video! It was very well explained etc and i liked the visuals etc you used!! I’m thinking about getting a 40D as im making a move from my Fujifilm finepix 9600 which is not an SLR. Thanks, Sam
How is it with red eye?
I hear it’s not so good.
Thank u soo much for uploading!!!
I just completed a course… and this was perfect to refresh my memory
Great video!! Thanks!!
I have watched the videos on u tube they are fab and am thinking of getting the video but how much more is on this compared the all the 23 videos on u tube I have already watched???
About 2 hours worth. The most important techniques are on the DVD. Best wishes!
Would you happen to know why I would get red eye when I am using my 40D with an L bracket and a 580 EX2 flash unit? I have red eye reduction on, but for some reason it is still happening despite the fact that I have the flash mounted on a bracket above the camera. I have tried several lenses, but can’t get a handle on it. It happens with BOTH of my 40s and Canon doesn’t seem to have a clue. Can you offer any suggestions?

I really need help here with this1
Red eye is caused by a reflection of your light off the inside of the eye. Try aiming your flash at the ceiling if shooting indoors or otherwise using a diffuser, like a Gary Fong Light Sphere, which will soften the light. Best wishes!
Hi Michael, I just got the light sphere but didn’t notice much differnce than using one of those cap diffusers.. and for $40 i’m not sure if i’m using it correctly. I’m using the SB600 with a D40. Any comments?
these videos have been very helpful, I just cant get a handling on the f-stops and apertures, but hopefully with watching and re-watching the videos I will get there
i need same of your DVDs, i have canon 20D.
Very Nice Video. Helpful. Thanks man.
Thanks man! Always wondered about those icons!
Hey Micheal. Thank you for your videos. I need some help on my first dslr. I live in Ireland and cannon dslr’s are very expensive here. Between the 450d and 40d what would be best for a beginner? Have done some research on both and the 40d is what i am leaning toward, but is it too much to begin with?
hehe dummy mode
The 450D is a great camera for a beginner. The larger the numbers on the camera the more beginner it is. 1000D is really basic, 450D is getting more intermediate, 40D is pretty much advanced, and then the Mark 1Ds is about as advanced as you could ever go right now. I bought the 450D a few days ago and I love it. I already knew a pretty good deal about photography but this was my first DSLR, I used to use a Sony point and shoot that had fully customizable settings.
Cheers my friend. I bought the 40D with the 17-85mm lens kit and over just a few weeks with some reading and video tutorial help i have started shooting some great shots. I subscribed to a great mag called PhotoPlus which is for users of Canon Dslr’s only. It’s great help. Check it out. Order from England
Not sure if I can order it because I live in America. If I had more money to spend on a Camera I probably would have bought a 40D or a 50D. I spent a total of 970 USD on the 450D which came with an 18-55mm lens and a 55-250mm lens both with Image Stabilization and an extra battery. I think it was a pretty good deal.
1000d is crap
Hasselblad make more advanced cameras
