Nikon D7000 Essential Training

- Hi, my name is Ben Long. Understanding your gear is essential to consistently taking good photos. Yes, you can throw your camera into auto mode and get good shots most of the time, but you will run into situations that will flummox your camera's auto features and in those instances, you need to know how to adjust your camera to get good results. In this course, you're going to explore all of the critical features of your Nikon D7000, the features that any beginning to intermediate shooter will need to know. In this course, among many other things, you'll see what the D7000's different modes do, how you can alter and tweak those modes, how to shoot video using the camera's amazing HD video features, how to customize the camera to make it easier to use for your particular shooting tasks, and how to use the camera's various exposure controls to correct exposure while you shoot.

Now this is not a photography course. We won't be going into detail into exposure theory and the other fundamentals of photography. But we will give you reminders about specific terms and processes and will tell you when it's a good idea to watch an additional Lynda course that might help out with the fundamentals. This course combined with a couple of other courses will provide you with a full photo curriculum, but one built around the D7000. This means you can learn photography in terms of the specific buttons and controls on your exact camera. So get your camera close to hand as we delve into the particulars of the Nikon D7000.
