We learned in the first video the components needed to build a camera. Now we learn how those components work together.

Now that we know what happens when we take a picture, we’re going to learn a bit about Aperture, how it functions, and why we would want to control this setting.

We’ve learned that Aperture is our first line of defence against blurry photos, now we learn about another tool in the arsenal, ISO.

We’re going back to Aperture to learn about Depth of Field in our photos.

Learning about Shutter Speed and how it impacts our photos.

Learn about shooting modes.

In this video Spryos answers the question: How do I shoot a silhouette portrait?

Today you’ll learn how to set the Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO when shooting in Manual, and how to read your exposure indicator.

Now that we know how to set the Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO while shooting in manual mode, we learn how to choose the settings for any particular shot by building from an anchor setting.

We talk about Stops, F-Stops, Exposure and how it all works together in your camera.

Spyros explains what white balance is, how it works, and the White Balance settings available on your camera.
