Gettin' There.
1. SS (shutter speed)
2. Aperture
3. ISO (how sensitive a film is to light)
4. WB (white balance)
3. Scenario.
Scenario 1.
Outside, it is a bright day. It is afternoon (12/1 PM) and it's winter, there's snow all over the ground and trees.
The sun is out, but with some clouds. It is very white, aside from the blue sky.
- Turn power switch to "on."
- Check monitor to see the current settings.
- Make sure you are on "MF" or "manual focus," not "AF" or "auto focus." If your camera has the switch to "AF," switch to "MF."
- Check the setting on your dial. Be positive it's on "M" for Manual.
- Use the command dial to change your shutter speed and aperture.
- Press the menu bottom, and press the ISO button and adjust your ISO. Remember, if your ISO is too high, there will be a lot of "noise." This will make your pictures look grainy, we want crisp images and we do not want a lot of noise.
- As you look into the view finder, double check your settings on the bottom to be positive your settings are the desired settings you chose before.
1. SS = 1/640 of a second. This shutter speed is very fast. It will not let too much light in because of the amount of natural light there already is.
2. Aperture = F14.0 - for the amount of brightness, you want a small aperture opening to not let too much light in.
3. ISO = 100 - we're using a low ISO because the picture is already very bright with the amount of natural white in it.
4. WB = low - a low incandescent white balance, or even a cloudy/shady setting would be good for this photograph because the snow and sun contribute to how much natural white is in the picture. The cloudy, or shady setting will balance out the white.
