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.
