Learn how to use your camera's manual modes to take more creative and interesting photographs.

Ever wondered what the other modes on your camera do? P, S, A, M or Program, Shutter, Aperture and Manual. Come and learn how do you use them to take more interesting pictures and be more creative with your photography.

In this course we will look at how you can use different modes to capture light and motion and get your images in focus (or the right parts in focus).

Moving off Auto is about practical experience using features of digital cameras, such as:

  • Aperture
  • Shutter speed
  • Focus modes
  • Drive modes
  • ISO

Come and have fun!

Who should attend?
To get the most out of this you will need to understand the basic settings of your camera and how to access them. See our DSLR Camera Beginners Workshop if you are not yet comfortable with the basics of your camera.

What to bring
Your camera, with a fully charged battery and plenty of space on the card. Bring your short camera manual if you wish. Bring your lunch - we'll supply tea and coffee.

Please note there is NO refund or transfer if you cancel less than 5 working days in advance of a class starting.
