Finding the metering mode

Where is the metering mode on your camera?

Metering - How a camera thinks and what you need to know when looking at the camera's metering suggestions

Metering - averages

Finding Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

Relationship between ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed

Experiments - Started video today - Short periods Tuesday, we only made it to 11mins. Please watch the remainder of this video for homework. Those who have their cameras at home can start with the ruler exercise to measure depth of field.

Understanding the link between aperture and depth of field

Aperture

Aperture - An opening. In photography, the circular hole in the front of the camera lens which controls the amount of light allowed to pass on to the film from the lens. On all but very inexpensive cameras the size of the aperture is variable. The degree of variability is indicated by "f" numbers (f/stop). A great way to gain an understanding of apertures is to make and use a pinhole camera.
