1. Using manual modes on your digital camera

2. P=program (to control exposure compensation)
A=aperture priority
S=shutter speed priority
M=manual (you set aperture AND shutter speed)

3. A = Aperture (f-stop)
The size of the lens opening which is represented by the
f-stop # (which is a measurement of the opening)

4. General Aperture selections …… f/2, f/2. 8, f/4, f/5
General Aperture selections …… f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22

5. f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22 -Smaller lens opening
Less light enters camera
-Most of photo is in focus =
Large Depth of Field

6. f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22 Larger lens opening
-More light enters camera
-Less of photo is in focus =
Small Depth of Field

7. f/2.8
f/5.6
f/16

8. Determines how long the shutter will remain open for each photograph.
S = Shutter Speed
Determines how long the shutter will remain open for each photograph.
It is a timer!

9. General Shutter Speed selections…… 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000
Think of them like fractions
Shutter speed of 1 = 1/1 = 1 second SLOW
Shutter speed of 2 = 1/2 = 1/2 of a second
Shutter speed of 4 = 1/4 = 1/4 of a second
Shutter speed of 8 = 1/8 = 1/8 of a second
Shutter speed of 15 = 1/15 = 1/15 of a second
Shutter speed of 30 = 1/30 = 1/30 of a second
Shutter speed of 60 = 1/60 = 1/60 of a second
Shutter speed of 125 = 1/125 = 1/125 of a second
Shutter speed of 250 = 1/250 = 1/250 of a second
Shutter speed of 500 = 1/500 = 1/500 of a second
Shutter speed of 1000 = 1/1000 = 1/1000 of a second FAST

10. 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000
-Faster Shutter Speed
Less light enters the camera
-Good in bright light
situations
-Action can be “frozen”
Or CLEAR

11. 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000
- Slower Shutter Speed
-More light enters the camera
Good in low light situations
-Action can be “blurred”
Or FUZZY

12. 1/ / /2500

13. WHAT IF YOU CAN’T CHANGE YOUR SHUTTER SPEED?
USE PANNING
Pan with the moving object to make the moving object appear frozen or clear.
Pan in opposite direction of the moving object to make the moving object appear to be blurry or fuzzy.
CHANGE YOUR MODE
For frozen or clear motion set your camera to the SPORTS mode (looks like a running person).
For blurry or fuzzy motion trick your camera! Set it to a mode in which the camera thinks you are taking a still shot…..such as PORTRAIT or LANDSCAPE mode.

14. At what Shutter Speeds should you use a tripod?
1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000 ?

15. At what Shutter Speeds should you use a tripod?
1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000
Why?

16. At what Shutter Speeds should you use a tripod?
1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000
Due to CAMERA SHAKE

17. How do Aperture and Shutter Speed work together for correct exposure?

18. f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22
Smaller lens opening
Less light enters camera
Most of photo is in focus =
Large Depth of Field
Larger lens opening
More light enters camera
Less of photo is in focus =
Small Depth of Field
1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000
Slower Shutter Speed
More light enters the camera
Good in low light
Action can be “blurred”
Faster Shutter Speed
Less light enters the camera
Good in bright light
Action can be “frozen”

19. You can use a light meter to gage the correct exposure if you are in a MANUAL mode setting.
Then adjust your shutter speed for motion and/or your aperture for depth of field.

20. IF YOU DON’T HAVE A LIGHT METER…..
You can (generally) just take a photo in auto mode to get correct light exposure.
Then adjust shutter speed and aperture in steps to get the depth of field and/or motion you want.

27. The “film’s” sensitivity to light.
ASA/ISO (Film Speed)
The “film’s” sensitivity to light.

28. General Film Speed selections …… 20, 32, 64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
* A high number = it is very sensitive to light, good for indoor photography, low light situations, photography without a flash, can produces course or grainy photographs.
* A low number = it is not as sensitive to light, good for outdoor photography, bright light situations, photography with a flash, produces fine or less grainy photographs.
