Lessons
Introduction
Join Scott and RC as they outline who this class is for and why exposure is so important.
Duration: 5 mins 44 seconds
Avoiding Under and Over Exposure
When a photo is too dark it is considered underexposed, and when a photo is too bright is considered overexposed. Learn why this is a problem and how to get the correct exposure.
Duration: 8 mins 29 seconds
Understanding Depth of Field
The aperture setting controls how much of the photo is in focus, which is called the depth of field.
Duration: 5 mins 9 seconds
Understanding Your Shutter
Duration: 12 mins 27 seconds
ISO
The ISO setting controls how sensitive the sensor is to light. The higher the ISO setting the more sensitive the sensor is to light.
Duration: 11 mins 3 seconds
Manual Mode
In manual mode you are in control of setting the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to get the correct exposure.
Duration: 10 mins 10 seconds
Using Exposure Compensation
Aperture priority mode is probably the most popular mode used on DSLRs because it allows you to stay in control of depth of field. You can still influence the exposure setting by using exposure compensation.
Duration: 10 mins 57 seconds
Metering Modes
The metering mode you choose will affect how the camera uses the information in the scene to determine the correct exposure.
Duration: 3 mins 20 seconds
