Beginning 35mm Digital Photography - Fast Track from AUTO to MANUAL… Fast!!

Saturday, November 231:00—4:00 PMMeeting Room AShrewsbury Public Library609 Main Street, Shrewsbury, MA, 01545

In 3 hours or less, learn everything necessary to get your camera off AUTO or PROGRAM and onto MANUAL, a mode that puts YOU in charge of your camera.

The MANUAL mode allows you to take command of the camera’s important functions. The advantage is that you and not the camera set the specific controls for the photos you take. That is critical, since the settings coming from you, the photographer, are going to be far more accurate and relative to your vision than the settings coming from the camera when it’s in an automatic mode.

These are some of the topics we’ll address:

  •     Techniques for handholding your camera
  •     The workings and interactions of the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO
  •     Finding and using specific camera controls

This seminar is designed to get you up and shooting quickly and effectively – WITHOUT having to resort to the AUTO or PROGRAM mode.

A very complete handout will be distributed when you arrive. It contains lots of information and diagrams, and will greatly simplify the process of understanding what’s being taught in class. In addition, the handout will allow you to spend less time taking notes and more time listening and participating in class. You’ll also find it quite useful for review after the class ends.

VERY IMPORTANT …

  1.     Be sure your camera’s aperture, shutter speed, and ISO can be adjusted manually.
  2.     Bring your battery charger.
  3.     If you have them, bring an extra battery, camera card, and other camera lenses.
  4.     Bring your camera manual.
