Beginning Photography SLR & Mirrorless Cameras Part 1

Instructor: Richard Vallon

Part 1: Beginning Photography SLR and Mirrorless Cameras

Description: Please bring your SLR or Mirrorless cameras and any lenses you may have. Make sure you have a good battery that is charged before the class. Classes are small so students can participate and request information specific to their interests, such as landscapes, portraits, action, etc.

We will cover:

The basic parts of the camera and their functions.
Camera care, memory cards, batteries, and changing lenses.
The various important automatic modes:
- P (Program mode): Allows brighter or darker exposures.
- A (Aperture Priority): Allows you to blur backgrounds when using telephoto lenses.
- S (Shutter Priority): For action images or night photography.
The most frequently used and less expensive kit lenses—normal zooms and telephoto zooms.
How to take images by lovely window light, just like the old masters.
