I've been using a Canon EOS 60D, 70D and, now, an 80D for a few years, mostly in auto mode. I do a ton of low light photography at a local coffee shop open mic. This requires me to be quick, unobtrusive and, with twilight changing the lighting, flexible. I use the resulting photos to promote the open mic.
I am trying to ease into Manual Mode and am experimenting with it. However, the transition is painfully slow. Does anyone here have some tips for how to speed up this tedious process? Are there specific steps that I should be taking to get there? Is there a magic Youtube video that I should know about?
If anyone can help me, it has to be my fellow Hoggers.

I also am transitioning into manual mode, and I am convinced there is no magic time-saving process. Like everything in life, the time you put into it pretty much equals what you get out of it. I watched the video that d3200 prime recommended at "udemy.com" It is great for Canon users as that is what the guy demonstrates with. He goes over exposure, quite a lot on lighting, and a lot on the Canon camera settings and its menu's. I wish he had been a Nikonite like myself. I recommend the video, but it took approx. 4 hours to get through it all. Good luck and have fun. Maren
