Class Experience

This beginner technical course focuses on controlling aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to achieve proper exposures. Each week emphasizes one setting—camera setup and auto-mode assessment, aperture for depth of field, shutter speed for motion control, and then combining settings in full manual mode—so students gain practical experience and confidence using their camera’s controls.

Learning Outcomes

  • Set and adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to control exposure

  • Practice specific camera settings each week to build confidence in manual techniques

  • Navigate and use camera controls to achieve desired photographic results
