Advanced Camera Handling Sony

Modern DSLR’s and mirrorless cameras can be daunting.  Dozens of buttons and menu options can send the new user screaming into the night, and even faze the seasoned pro going digital after decades of film experience.  This 1 1/2hour program will concentrate on the new and confusing concepts of digital photography and high tech cameras.  Learn how and why to shoot in RAW as compared to JPEG.  Learn how to read and utilize the RGB histograms, how to “expose to the right”, and where to place your priority in exposure.  Discover what all the different autofocus modes actually do and how to utilize the various noise reduction modes in camera.  Master white balance and learn how to set a custom white balance for accurate neutral colors. We will walk though the menus of both the high end Sony DSLR’s and the new Sony mirrorless bodies. We will show you how to adjust the settings in your menu that will solve a variety of real-world problems. This is NOT an entry level class. Students are expected to already understand f/stops and shutter speeds.  We will not cover the use of your camera as a digital video camera.  1 1/2-Hour Lecture
