camera assignment DUE WEDS JAN 23

This week you will spend some time getting to know your digital camera. Please complete the following activities.

In your sketchbook, write down the location of the camera settings that you spent time with and answer the questions that follow. I will check your notes to make sure that you completed the assignment.

1. READ YOUR CAMERA MANUAL. If you need a manual for your camera, look up your make and model on line and you should be able to download a pdf copy. Please feel free to email me with questions if you have problems finding one.

2. Find Format in your menu

3. Find the area in your menu to set the image quality and type (tiff, jpg, raw)

4. Find your ISO/film speed. How many settings do you have?

5. Find your white balance control. How many setting does your camera have, and what do they do?

6. Find your manual functions and spend some time changing your shutter speed and your aperture. How do you change these? Make sure you know where your light meter is located.

7. What sort of recording media does your camera need (cf card, memory stick, etc) How much memory does it have?

8. Take at least 24 photos. Use your auto function for 5 of them. and then practice using the maual functions, and changing the white balance on your camera to take the rest. Take some with and with out your flash.

Don't fret if you aren't sure how to make these work yet, we will be covering exposure!
