Basic photography course - English | Module 1: Intensive Beginners Photography Course

You've bought yourself a camera (or it's been sitting on the shelf for a long time) and are frustrated with all the buttons and menus? Feel disappointed because the auto mode doesn't allow you to fully exploit your creativity?

Then this course is for you! We will get you familiar with your digital camera in no time and allow you to have more creative control over your photography.
 
 
Program:

In the morning, you will go through technical basics with the course instructor, so that after the lunch break you will know what ISO, aperture, exposure time, and the different modes like S/Tv, M, P, WB mean. Practice makes perfect! This is why we take you to the streets of Zürich in the afternoon where you can apply the skills you have learnt earlier. We practise on different still and moving motifs and give you hints on how to compose a picture.

At the end of the day, you should be able to operate your camera better and know what the individual functions of your camera mean.

What you will learn that day :

• Get to know your camera. Learn how it works and all the essential buttons.
• What the different modes are (Auto, P, A/AV, S/TV, M) and how to use them for best results.
• You will know the difference between RAW and JPEG formats.

• Take control of your focus including the different focusing modes.
• How to read your built in light meter and get a perfect exposure every time!
