Class Notes Setting up the d-SLR

This is basic set up guide for using d-SLR camera as discussed in class. these settings are usually in the camera menu often accessed on the back of the camera. 1. File Format and Resolution -jpeg (if you choose this setting select the highest quality.) -RAW (this is the preferred setting for the quality we discussed in class) 2. Color Setting -sRGB -Adobe 1998 (this is the setting that gives you the highest level of color.) 3. Numbering -revert to 0 -continuous (personal choice, less overwrite problems with this choice) 4. Format -this is the selection when formating the storage card, before each use. It is best to use the format rather than erase card within the computer software. these setting are usually on the top of the camera 1. Set your ISO (light sensitivity) 2. White Balance (many cameras default to Auto) -set to daylight, tungsten or Flourescent for the light you are working with. -cameras often have shade, cloudy, flash choices as well. -Advanced students may choose CUSTOM by using a white or Gray card.' - Some models also offer K setting for Kelvin Temperature. i.e 5500 or 3200 3. Meter setting - Spot (narrow exposure area) -Center Weighted (good general purpose) - Matrix Metering (uses various reading areas or zones to determine exposure reading) 4. Drive setting -single
-multi -self timer 5. AutoFocus Setting -single shot -tracking 6. Exposure Compensation (advanced setting to override the meter) Digital Camera Basics Link Nikon D-80 Review

Class Notes #8 & #10 Questions from the class

As it turns out, Point Park University has it's spring break a week prior to Pittsburgh Filmmakers and Class #10 it seems all of the non university students caught a bug or something, so we had two weeks that due to the students present we opened the floor to questions that were challenging the class.

The two classes boiled down to three basic questions.
- Setting up the d-SLR for making pictures.
- Recommended work flow.
- Simple lighting advice for the portrait assignments.

I am going to break these questions into three separate posts.
