SHOW LOW — You’ve “read” the manual that came with your digital camera. But what do all of those icons, ISO settings, Fn, A/V and AEL buttons really mean or do?
In Gerry A. Good’s “Let’s Learn to Use Your Digital Camera!” Northland Pioneer College noncredit workshop (reference STC 099x-81333), you’ll learn how to use the full capabilities of your digital camera to improve your photography skills and boost your creativity just in time for graduation ceremonies, nature shots, travel and family vacations. The three-evening workshop also covers the fundamentals of exposure, f-stops and shutter speeds, and composition.
The “Digital Camera!” workshop costs $49 and meets Tuesdays, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. July 8, 15 and 22, in the Aspen Center, room 110, on the Show Low – White Mountain Campus, 1001 W. Deuce of Clubs. Students should bring their digital camera and manual to the class.
