Overview of Understanding your digital EOS, series (core events)

The Understanding your digital EOS seminars Parts 1-2 have evolved over many years of our training program. Whilst we constantly update our courses as new technologies and new models are introduced, we also develop a learning structure within the courses which we find works well for the vast majority of our delegates. We find that it is important to build knowledge on how the cameras and digital imaging work rather than just throw lots of facts and figures at our delegates.

Our seminars are presented at the right speed and right intensity for a constructive learning process and we actively encourage interaction during the presentations to make sure that all the topics we are covering are fully understood before moving onto the next area.

The events are always scheduled so they can be attended on consecutive days, we feel this is when delegates get the most benefit, as one day is designed to follow on logically from the previous event.  However if you feel that is too much to cope with then the events can also be split.  The events are designed to be at the right level for delegates who have previously had some experience of the SLR cameras either film or digital and are designed to build on that basic knowledge.  We therefore expect delegates to have a basic familiarity with the camera and be comfortable working in either the Full Auto and Basic Zone modes and be familiar with the main menu usage.  If you do not have these basics then the level 1 events will be more appropriate for you to attend.

As part of this series we also run a flash system event and a workflow event.  The flash event is designed to be attended after completing parts 1 and 2 as you need to know the camera fully to get the most out of it and the workflow event can be attended at any time within the series.  At our Huntingdon training centre these are run on consecutive days after the part 1 and part 2 events so that all four can be attended in a single week.
