How to use your camera

Ever wondered what all those buttons, settings and dials do on your digital camera?

My 1-to-1 orientation sessions are an ideal way to learn how to get the best from your camera

Get to grips with your Camera!

Your digital camera holds many features that you should be using to get the best possible pictures. Anyone who has taken a look through their camera manual will have seen a lot of jargon and meaningless terms. There is a simple way though, to move away from using the ‘auto’ setting on your digital camera that will let you get more adventurous.

A private one and a half hour one-to-one orientation session for only £50 with Bluesden Photography will enable you to try new camera settings with confidence. Ultimately this new confidence coupled with a much better understanding of how your camera works and what each button does, will lead to better photographs for you to be proud of.

A personal one-to-one orientation session includes:
• An overview of how your digital camera works
• An explanation of each button, dial or setting
• An explanation of preset shooting modes
• An explanation of semi-manual shooting modes
• An overview of camera accessories and add-ons
• Tips on how to take pictures to be proud of

After the session you will have a better understanding of:
• ISO, aperture, exposure and shutter time settings and the effect that each has on your images
• The benefits of shooting in different modes (raw, .JPG or both)
