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!
How do we understand Shutter Speeds?
< Slower shutter speed = MORE light Faster Shutter speed = LESS light>
How do we understand Aperture/F-stop?
All of the numbers are actually like fractions.
"f" is the numerator (top) and the f-stop number is denominator (bottom)
If you had 1/4 cup of salt, thats actually a large amount of salt...conversely if you had 1/16 (f/16) cup of salt that is much smaller!
So f/4 is a LARGE aperture compared to f/16, a SMALL aperture!
f22 (small Aperture opening) = Deep/Great DOF
vs f1.4 (large Aperture Opening = Shallow/Less DOF
REMEMBER!
REMEMBER!
The LARGER the opening of the lens (small F Stop number) the LESS/SHALLOW the Depth of Field.
Only the dog is sharp when using F 1.4 and the background appears blurred/out of focus.
The smallest opening (large F stop number) the GREATER the Depth of Field. The dog and the background are sharp when using F 22.
All of the numbers are actually fractions of a second. So 250 is actually 1/250 of a second etc.
Remember when you move to the LEFT of the scale, you get MORE light.
When you move to the right of the scale, you get LESS light!
1/2 of anything is greater than 1/4000 of anything right???
In reality you never get to separate your shutter speed from your aperture. You are always going to use your shutter and you are always going to use an aperture. Period. They’re partners. They work together quite nicely.
< Slower shutter speed = MORE light Faster Shutter speed = LESS light>
< Larger Aperture (small number) = MORE light Smaller Aperture = LESS light>
Let's say we are taking a high intense sport shot or a bird in flight and we want to stop the motion
Typically, anything above shutter speeds of 1/250 will STOP motion.
So...if we are go from a shutter speed of 1/60 to shutter speed of 1/250 we need to move our F stop 2 spots from f5.6 to f2.8 (see image above)

Stopping motion and Sports Photography!
Stopping motion and Sports Photography!
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)
Typically we want to use the LOWEST ISO possible! But if the effect we want (like stopping motion) ends up making the photo under exposed (dark) we need to adjust/increase the ISO. If the effect makes the image too bright, decrease the ISO... TRY IT!
Today you will need your Photography badge!
Badges MUST be worn when outside of the classroom taking photos
Must have badge in order to check out camera!
CANON EOS R50
Let's try this again!
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: About OUR Digital Cameras (Canon R50)
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Clearly understanding your camera's functions is essential for capturing high-quality images and maximizing your creative potential. We will explore some of the critical functions commonly found in the Canon R50 Mirrorless camera and how they can be used to enhance your photography.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to handle the camera properly!

5 STEPS TO PICTURE TAKING!
5 STEPS TO PICTURE TAKING!
Put the strap around your neck!!
Set your ISO (film speed.) Do this by pressing the ISO button and rotating the selector dial. Start with ISO 100.
Set slower speeds for bright sun, faster speeds for indoors and at night. You may also set to ISO-Auto. ISO-400 for most shooting.
Set your mode dial to M (manual). Then, set your shutter speed for:
INDOORS...1/60
OUTDOORS... 1/250 or faster.
Do this by rotating the selector dial (on top by the shutter release button).
Tap the shutter button. This turns on the light meter.
While pressing the AV +/- button, rotate the dial until the line is in the middle of the METERING SCALE.
Focus and zoom carefully.
Looking through viewfinder (seen on screen inside):
Back of Camera (LCD Screen):
Press the AV +/- button
Look at the back LCD screen to see the exposure compensation meter (also called the METERING SCALE).
Be aware! When changing exposure compensation, it will never change back to zero unless YOU change it.
To get an exceptable exposure, we are trying to get the center line of the metering scale to the 0 mark!
After you have downloaded your images to a computer
Let's FORMAT our card!
Make sure your images have been downloaded to your computer (we will get the that soon!)
