Switching to Digital EOS Introduction to your digital EOS
Introduction to your digital EOS
An increasing number of our photographers are moving into the world of digital SLR photography with an EOS camera, having never used an SLR in the past. The more affordable digital EOS models are ideal cameras for the first venture into the word of using a digital EOS, but to get the very best images from these superb cameras you need to understand the fundamentals of how the cameras work and how to utilise the different settings when taking different subjects.
This seminar will make sense of the terminology used every day with digital SLRs and give owners of these a thorough grounding as to how their cameras work and can be used as a lead onto other events in our programme, should you wish to enhance your photographic skills further.
No previous knowledge is required for this course and it is classroom based which allows us to cover a lot more ground than on the alternative Practical introduction to digital EOS which has a morning classroom session and an afternoon of practical photography.
