Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Getting ready to shoot, part of Learning to Shoot with the Nikon D3200 and D3300.
- You're probably excited somewhat.…Let's get ready to shoot.…To do this, we need to attach a few items to your camera.…One of the greatest advantages of shooting with…an SLR-type camera is the ability to switch lenses.…This offers flexibility and potential power because it means…you can adjust the performance and reach of your camera…for specific shooting situations.…For example, you could attach a prime lens for better…low light performance, or use something like a macro lens…to get close-up photography.…
Or, in this case, I have a large hyperzoom lens…that covers a wide range from 28 millimeters to…300 millimeters, making this the perfect lens for…vacation photography.…Attaching a lens is very easy.…Make sure that the camera is powered down before…you add or remove a lens.…This is important because if it's charged up,…when you remove this cap, the sensor is exposed,…and if this is charged up, dust can get sucked…into the camera.…
That lens cap is important to keep clean; it's going to keep…debris out of the camera, so don't just toss this around.…
