Want to learn what white-balance, resolution, and megapixels are all about? Learn to speak the digital lingo and finally understand your camera’s instruction manual. This class provides plenty of how-tos for using the digital camera more effectively, and an in-depth look at the fundamentals of image capture, camera operation, proper exposure and effective composition. Weekly assignments along with class discussions will help students troubleshoot problems and develop a creative eye. Students should bring a digital camera with manual adjustment capacities and a camera manual to class; fully automatic point-and-shoots are not suitable.
