INDEX BELOW:
#1: 0:52 – Your lens’ SWEET SPOT probably isn’t f/8
#2: 1:43 – FOCUS BREATHING might make your lens short
#3: 6:37 – The RECIPROCAL RULE isn’t a rule at all
#4: 10:58 – Buying a camera without checking the lenses
#5: 12:23 – Using INFINITY FOCUS to get everything in focus
#6: 13:22 – DEPTH-OF-FIELD isn’t real at all
#7: 14:25 – 4K is great even if your screen isn’t
#8: 16:00 – Printing at 300 DPI doesn’t mean perfect sharpness
#9: 16:45 – F/STOPs don’t tell you the exposure, T-STOPS do
#10: 18:12 – FULL FRAME LENSES on CROP BODIES are less sharp
#11: 20:39 – FILTERS aren’t worth it for many photographers
#12: 21:37 – Many REVIEWS aren’t TRUSTWORTHY
#13: 27:04 – Cropping a sharper, short lens beats longer lenses
#14: 29:22 – Apply the CROP FACTOR to focal length & f/stop
#15: 32:38 – HIGH MEGAPIXELS doesn’t mean HIGH NOISE
#16: 34:00 – Noise at base ISO is important
#17: 35:25 – ISO is not an acronym, and is “eye-so”, not I-S-O
#18: 36:11 – AUTOFOCUS is more accurate than MANUAL FOCUS
#19: 38:23 – AUTOEXPOSURE is better than LIGHT METERS
#20: 41:07 – ART is more important than TECHNOLOGY
