Studio Photography: Getting to Know your SLR Camera
Getting to Know your SLR Camera
Note: A Nikon film camera was used for the following handouts/videos. Even if you do not have a Nikon film camera, many of the functions are universal across camera models. Buttons and access points may simply be in different places on your camera body. It is suggested that you acquire the handbook specific to your camera body to compare and contrast during the videos.
