Most digital EOS cameras have a wide range of overrides and customisable settings to cater for the needs of all types of photographers. Some of these are useful for most photographers and some are aimed specifically at a certain type of photography.
On the Understanding your digital EOS part 2 course we make sense of all these individual settings, explain what they actually do and which ones are specifically relevant for you. The automatic and creative modes (P, TV, AV and M) are not covered as we do this on the earlier part 1 event.
We also look in more detail at specific areas of the camera especially the focusing and metering systems and explain how you need to use these differently for different subjects. Once you understand all the controls, overrides and custom functions you will be able to maximise the camera’s performance to suit your photography needs.
