  • Topic 1 Commanding the Mode Dial
    Working with your Camera Topic 1 – Commanding the Mode Dial Learning Outcomes In this topic, you will learn more about how to control the functions on your mode dial. We touched on this before but I want to go through these in detail so that you will be better equipped with the language when we move onto shutter speed, ISO and aperture in future topics. The Mode Dial Pre-sets and modes bind you to their predetermined results. That’s not to say that these modes will give you bad photographs, in fact, you can get some pretty nice shots through using these pre-sets. However, there will be times in which you want more control of the camera and that is why we encourage better understanding of the camera’s settings so that you know how your camera will behave in certain environments. Page | 1 Working with your Camera Automatic Mode Auto mode: The camera controls all aspects of the camera, shutter speed, aperture, ISO in order to achieve a good exposure. This mode is useful when we are new to photography but through practice, you will gain the confidence and skill to move on from here. It is labelled by green text or a green box and is usually called AUTO which is good for first time users as it is self-explanatory, like most of the modes. Page | 2 Working with your Camera Program Mode Program Mode: The camera controls most aspects of the camera, namely shutter speed, aperture and ISO in order to achieve a good exposure.

  • Digital Photography Basics for Beginners
    DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY BASICS FOR BEGINNERS by Robert Berdan [email protected] www.canadiannaturephotographer.com These notes are free to use by anyone learning or teaching photography. 1. Choosing a camera - there are 2 main types of compact cameras A) Point and Shoot Camera (some have interchangeable lenses most don't) - you view the scene on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, some cameras also offer viewfinders. B) Single Lens Reflex (SLR) - cameras with interchangeable lenses let you see the image through the lens that is attached to the camera. What you see is what you get - this feature is particularly valuable when you want to use different types of lenses. Digital SLR Camera with Interchangeable zoom lens 1 Point and shoot cameras are small, light weight and can be carried in a pocket. These cameras tend to be cheaper then SLR cameras. Many of these cameras offer a built in macro mode allowing extreme close-up pictures. Generally the quality of the images on compact cameras is not as good as that from SLR cameras, but they are capable of taking professional quality images. SLR cameras are bigger and usually more expensive. SLRs can be used with a wide variety of interchangeable lenses such as telephoto lenses and macro lenses. SLR cameras offer excellent image quality, lots of features and accessories (some might argue too many features). SLR cameras also shoot a higher frame rates then compact cameras making them better for action photography. Their disadvantages include: higher cost, larger size and weight. They are called Single Lens Reflex, because you see through the lens attached to the camera, the light is reflected by a mirror through a prism and then the viewfinder.

  • Aperture Priority Mode
    PHOTOGRAPHER’S GUIDE TO THE LEICA D-LUX 5 particular aperture or shutter speed at the outset. If you need that degree of control, you’ll need to select Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual for your shooting mode. There is one specific issue related to the lack of control over aperture and shutter speed when you’re using Program mode. When that shooting mode is set, the Minimum Shutter Speed setting will be activated; you cannot turn it off. The slowest minimum shutter speed you can set in that situation is one second. So if you are trying to take a time exposure in a dark area (using a tripod, presumably), where the correct shutter speed would be, say, five seconds, the camera will not expose the picture properly. The minimum shutter speed setting of one second will be the longest exposure possible. If you expect to have exposures longer than one second, you need to select a shooting mode other than Program. (Namely, Manual, Aper- ture Priority, Shutter Priority, or certain Scene types.) Aperture Priority Mode You set this shooting mode by turning the Mode dial to the capital “A” that stands alone, not the “A” inside the camera icon. This mode is similar toProgram mode in the functions that are available for you to control, but, as the name implies, it also gives you, the photographer, more control over the cam- era’s aperture. Before discussing the nuts and bolts of the settings for this mode, let’s talk about what aperture is and why you would want to control it.
