Class Experience

A four-week, student-adjustable course focused on moving beyond auto mode to use manual exposure and focus intentionally. Major topics include the exposure triangle, depth of field, motion vs. freeze, adapting to indoor and outdoor light, and focus techniques, taught with demonstrations and guided practice.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand ISO, aperture, and shutter speed and adjust them intentionally to achieve correct exposure

  • Recognize lighting conditions and make appropriate exposure adjustments to maintain sharp, well‑exposed images

Prerequisites

Materials needed:

Students will need a digital camera that can be operated in fully manual mode. A camera manual (digital or printed) is recommended for reference during the course. The brand, model, and age of the camera do not matter, as long as manual control of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed is available.
