10:10 Manual Mode – Be the Boss of your camera

The three main pillars of photography are Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

The goal with every image is proper exposure and focus (composition is a close third)

Manual Mode shooting on your camera allows you to have control over the entire camera. This means that when you prepare to take a photo, you get to decide:

  • focal length
  • Aperture
  • shutter speed
  • exposure

That’s a lot to think about and you will get confused! I can tell you from experience, this is a pile of information to think about.

A handy tool to help you get the correct exposure is the Light Meter.

Video of your Canon Camera Controls explaining Manual Mode

Exposure is determined by two things

  • The amount of light in the scene.
  • The speed of your sensor ISO

Exposure is controlled by two things:

  • Shutter Speed
  • Aperture (f-stop)

Activity – Manual Mode Scavenger Hunt

  • Take a picture of a book in the library (blurred background) (shallow depth of field)
  • Take a picture of a long hallway with the end of the hallway in focus (long depth of field)

  • Take a picture of some action / movement (student walking) you do not need permission
  • Take a picture – you choose – your choice
  • *All images should be in focus / properly exposed!

When done:

  • Open and view your images in Adobe Bridge.
  • Clean up any photos you need to and edit as necessary using Camera Raw or Photoshop.
