What will I study?

Students will learn the basics of camera design, usability and function, and be provided with an introduction to the way digital cameras have evolved into the high-spec models we see today. A series of small projects (both practical and theoretical) will challenge the student to engage with digital technology whilst at the same time allowing them to explore photographic techniques learned during the sessions.

Course includes: Digital Sensors, Camera Functions, Exposure and Metering, File Types and the RAW format, DSLR Applications and Techniques. Time will be allocated towards the end of the course for the student’s work/portfolio to be reviewed by a specialist photography tutor.

Is your camera suitable for this course?

A DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera will generally allow the user to adjust the lens aperture, the shutter speed and the ISO manually, or independently of one another. Also this type of camera will usually have a removable lens, and this lens will commonly allow a wide angle through to telephoto view. Owners of the DSLR type of camera will get the most out of this course. If you own a compact or pocket camera type, there could be some elements of this course that you may be unable to access fully.

How will the course be delivered?

Through classroom based activities alongside a tutor and other delegates at a similar level.
