WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: About Digital Cameras

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Cameras are an intricate piece of expensive equipment. If you can get to know your camera so well that you don't have to consciously think every time you want to change a setting, you will have more energy to focus on your subject and the creative aspects of picture making.  ​

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED:  You will practice taking high speed photos and show how you understand the Exposure Triangle!

< Slower shutter speed = MORE light                                                                          Faster Shutter speed = LESS light>

< Larger Aperture (small number) = MORE light                                                               Smaller Aperture = LESS light>

Start by setting your ISO at 100. This is your base ISO.

Widen your Aperture (move to the left as far as it will go 2.8).

To stop motion, you need a FAST shutter speed. Move the slider to the right to 1/4000 SEC.

But the exposure meter needs to be in the center right? Adjust the ISO until the meter is in the center! (6400)
