It's important that you understand your gear if you want to consistently make good photos. Sure, you can put the camera into auto mode and trust that you can get pretty good shots from a technical point of view most of the time but there are lots of shooting situations that can confuse your camera such as mixed lighting, a fast moving subject or low overall lighting levels.

We'll get to know the features that any beginner to intermediate shooter will need to know. You'll learn about the different shooting modes offered by the camera, as well as how to shoot bracketed photos and video. Most importantly you'll learn how to adjust essential camera settings for specific situations to get the best exposure and focus. This class is not a photography course.
