ATTENTION: This class will be offered as scheduled, but we will start the class using an online, live-streaming platform. This will allow us to do full LIVE teaching, with realtime interaction and a thru-the-lens camera view for demonstrations. We are excited to offer this class at a discount in response to challenges faced by the health emergency.
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.
COVID-19 UPDATE: Using live video demonstrations, guided feedback to exercises, screen-sharing for slides and illustrations, and submitted assignments, we’ll be able to translate the great majority of the content from this class to the online format, and develop exciting new content for the medium as well. We look forward to the challenge, and we hope you do too!
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?
COVID-19 UPDATE: No need to “bring” anything, as we’ll be meeting remotely for now. Make sure your battery is well charged, and that you have adequate space on your memory card!
