  2. What is a DSLR? DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex camera An SLR versus a TLR – what’s the difference?

  3. DSLR vs Compact Digital Camera • Removable Lens • Wide range of lenses • Reflex Mirror • Bulky • Accurate Depth of Field • Fixed Lens • Lens has zoom range • No mirror – direct to sensor • Compact • Estimated Depth of Field

  4. Your Nikon D50

  5. Control Dial On-board Pop Up Flash Unit Other Controls Hotshoe

  6. Mode Dial:AUTO, Program (P), Shutter Priority (S), Aperture Priority (A), Manual (M)Manufacturer Presets

  9. Controlling Your Camera POWER IN YOUR HANDS

  10. CAMERA CONTROLS – THE BIG 3 APERTURE SHUTTERSPEED ISO

  11. APERTURE • Opening of the lens • Affects amount of light entering lens • Affects depth-of-field (DOF) • Measured in F-stops

  12. ACTIVITY APERTURE & LIGHT Set the camera’s mode to Manual (M) Make sure the lens it at its widest (18mm) Set F-stop to 3.5, take a picture. Set F-stop to 8.0, take another picture with the same framing. Which picture is darker?

  13. ACTIVITY APERTURE & DEPTH OF FIELD Set the camera’s mode to Aperture Priority (A) Make sure the lens it at its widest (18mm) Set F-stop to 3.5, take a picture. Set F-stop to 8.0, take another picture with the same framing. In which picture is most of the image sharper?

  14. APERTURE & DEPTH OF FIELD

  15. SHUTTER SPEED • Amount of time the shutter remains open for • Affects amount of light entering lens • Affects motion • Measured in fractions of a second

  16. ACTIVITY SHUTTER SPEED & LIGHT Set the camera’s mode to Manual (M) Make sure the lens it at its widest (18mm) Set shutter speed to 1/3, take a picture. Set shutter speed to 1/250, take another picture with the same framing. Which picture is darker?

  17. ACTIVITY SHUTTER SPEED & MOTION Set the camera’s mode to Shutter Priority (S) Make sure the lens it at its widest (18mm) Set shutter speed to 1/3, take a picture of Mr Tay waving Set shutter speed to 1/250, take another picture with the same framing. Which picture is blurrer?

  18. ISO (used to be ASA) • Sensitivity of film (sensor) • Affects amount of light the sensor picks up after it enters the lens • Affects the amount of grain (image noise - random variation of brightness or color information)

  19. ACTIVITY ISO & LIGHT Set the camera’s mode to Manual (M) Make sure the lens it at its widest (18mm) Set shutter speed to ISO100, take a picture. Set shutter speed to ISO1600, take another picture with the same framing. Which picture is darker?

  20. ACTIVITY ISO & NOISE Set the camera’s mode to Manual (M) Make sure the lens it at its widest (18mm) Set shutter speed to ISO100, take a picture. Set shutter speed to ISO1600, take another picture with the same framing. Which picture is noisier?
