In photography, color temperature is a crucial aspect that affects the colors in our images.
We can also measure by the color temperture of light!
Toggle to COLOR TEMP
A general guideline for exploring color temperatures in photography is as follows:
Tungsten light:
Warm and yellow, typically around 3200K. (Like household incandescent bulbs)
Daylight:
More neutral or slightly cool white light, considered the industry standard at approximately 5600K. (Midday, sunny sky)
Cloudy conditions:
Cooler than direct daylight and tend to be more bluish, falling into the 6000-7500K range.
Sunrise/Sunset:
Light is significantly warmer and more reddish-orange than daylight, with temperatures generally between 2000-3000K.
HOLDING THE CAMERA

With your left hand, support the lens from below.
Rest your right index finger lightly on the shutter button.
Rest your arms and elbows lightly against the front of your body.

5 STEPS TO PICTURE TAKING!
5 STEPS TO PICTURE TAKING!
Put the strap around your neck!!
Set your ISO (film speed.) Do this by pressing the ISO button and rotating the selector dial. Start with ISO 100.
Set slower speeds for bright sun, faster speeds for indoors and at night. You may also set to ISO-Auto. ISO-400 for most shooting.
Set your mode dial to M (manual). Then, set your shutter speed for:
Base Shutter Speed is 1/125
Do this by rotating the selector dial (on top by the shutter release button).
Tap the shutter button. This turns on the light meter.
After pressing the Shutter button half way, rotate the dial until the line is in the middle of the METERING SCALE.
Focus and zoom carefully.
Looking through viewfinder (seen on screen inside):
Back of Camera (LCD Screen):
Press the Shutter button half way...
Look at the back LCD screen to see the exposure compensation meter (also called the METERING SCALE).
Be aware! When changing exposure compensation, it will never change back to zero unless YOU change it.
To get an exceptable exposure, we are trying to get the center line of the metering scale to the 0 mark!
After you have downloaded your images to a computer
Let's FORMAT our card!
Make sure your images have been downloaded to your computer (we will get the that soon!)
Put the SD card back into the camera and close the card door
PRESS THE MENU BUTTON
Toggle with the RIGHT cross Key to the tools "folder"
Or press the Yellow Tools Icon on your LCD screen
Toggle with the DOWN cross Key to FORMAT CARD
Press SET button to Select
This screen gives you a chance to change your mind!
Toggle with the Right cross key to OK
Press SET button to select
Formatting should begin (takes a few seconds)
Please wait for it to complete!
ALWAYS...make sure you have downloaded your images BEFORE formatting a card. You CANNOT get them back!
TURN CAMERA OFF!
Push the ON/OFF lever to OFF
Remember to turn OFF before removing SD card!
Canon Challenge!
Try for a 6 Out of 6!
Stopping motion in Photography!
Stopping motion in Photography!
Start by setting your ISO at 100. This is your base ISO.
Lower your Aperture (move to the left as far as it will go 2.8).
To stop motion, you need a FAST shutter speed. Move the slider to the right to 1/4000 SEC.
But the exposure meter needs to be in the center right? Adjust the ISO until the meter is in the center! (6400)
Typically we want to use the LOWEST ISO possible! But if the effect we want (like stopping motion) ends up making the photo under exposed (dark) we need to adjust/increase the ISO. If the effect makes the image too bright, decrease the ISO... TRY IT!
