Camera Beginner: master your camera

Learning to use the manual mode of your reflex or bridge camera is an important step towards taking better pictures.

Operating manuals provided with the camera are monotonous and do not really show all there is to know about the many buttons and parameters available.

Understanding the parameters of the camera and knowing digital photography vocabulary is the first key step. White balance, sensor sensitivity (ISO), RAW format and exposure correction are only examples of terms that will be presented in a clear and concise way during the course.

This workshop will teach you how to:

Use the right image format between JPEG and RAW
Adjust the white balance
Correct the exposure
Set the ISO on the camera
Read a histogram
Use the “P” shooting mode

At the end of the workshop, we will off a complete debriefing so you can share your images from the session. This collective review by the photography teacher will ensure that everyone has a good understanding of the workshop, as well as the chance to be inspired by other students' work.

In this course, which is held by videoconference, small practical exercises are planned. Therefore, please make sure that you have your camera loaded and equipped with an empty memory card. Your mentor will establish the practice according to the environment of the house / apartment.
