This course explains the fundamentals of digital photography and how to use a digital camera correctly. You start by getting to know cameras and the history of photography, then compare the types of sensors. After that you learn the most important camera settings: aperture and depth of field, shutter speed, and controlling sensor sensitivity with ISO. Then you move to white balance, controlling the picture style, how to compose a photo, studio lighting, and finish with a close look at the camera. The course suits anyone who has just bought a new camera and wants to understand it, photography hobbyists, beginners, and anyone who wants better pictures than automatic mode gives.
