With CHARLES LAVOIE

 

 

Description

Crash Course: Camera Basics is an efficient, one-shot introduction to digital photography, and a good place to explore the fundamentals of your camera.  We'll get you up and running quickly, showing you what's up with all the buttons and dials, the different modes available, and how to read your light meter.   You'll learn about basic exposure control, and just become more familiar with your camera in general.  

 

Who should take this class?

Anyone who would like to quickly improve your familiarity and understanding of your digital camera's basic functions and features.

 

What to bring?

Just your camera, including DSLR, mirrorless, micro 4/3 systems. If your camera has the option for manual control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO, it should be suitable for this class.  Film-based SLR or rangefinder cameras are OK, but you may wish to rent one of our DSLRs to use alongside your film camera for the in-class feedback.

 

Prerequisites

No prior knowledge or experience is necessary.
