Course Overview
Learn how to use your camera intuitively without memorizing or taking notes.
You'll learn how all those buttons and dials work on your camera. Including the exercises, this course will take you about 2.5 hours. Through the exercises you'll do and through the explanations of the concepts, JP is committed that you retain the information there is to retain without memorizing. There is about an hour of video lecture which covers exposure, aperture, shutter speed and the mode dial (Auto, P, S or TV, A or Av and M). Images will be shown as examples. The exercises will be explained fully. This course is perfect for anyone who considers themselves a beginner with their camera or for anyone who has some existing knowledge about how their camera works but hasn't quite put all the puzzle pieces together when it comes to how aperture and shutter speed work together. This class is for you if you don't know how all the modes (Auto, P, S or TV, A or Av and M) work on your camera and when you should be using each mode.

Not very comprehensive at all; the main take aways were changing the exposure. The course didn't have a focus on manual mode; or starting to use the camera creatively. There are much better courses with very experienced instructors for the same price; just look a little further.

In the beginning, my experience was frustrating. Everything he was telling me to do, I couldn't find on my camera. I even stepped away from taking this course. The desire to capture things I saw was stronger than giving up. So, I started over and completed the course. Thank you.
