- Examine how to find the right memory card for your camera and production.
- Define the functions of DSLR and video cameras.
- Describe how to control video images using the iris, shutter speed, and frame rate.
- 7.1: DSLR vs. Mirrorless vs. Camcorders
- In this section, we'll explore three different cameras: camcorders, DSLR, and mirrorless cameras. Each one has its own benefits and setbacks which will help you choose the right camera for your production.
- 7.2: Memory Cards
- In this section, we will explore different memory cards, memory capacity, and read/write speeds. This will help you find the best memory card for your camera and production.
- 7.3: Manual Mode
- In this section, we describe how to put your DSLR or video camera into Manual Mode.
- 7.4: Iris/Aperture
- The Iris/Aperture is one of the most important functions of the camera. Here we will explore what they are, how to control them on the camera, and their effects.
- 7.5: Depth of Field
- Depth of Field is the area in which things appear in focus in your image. This section reviews the elements that control Depth of Field.
- 7.6: Neutral Density Filters
- Neutral Density filters help control exposure without altering the colors in your video. This section will explore Neutral Density filters and their purpose.
- 7.7: Gain and ISO
- Gain and ISO control the sensitivity of the image sensors. In this section, we will examine how to control Gain and ISO to create clear images.
- 7.8: Focus
- Here we will examine focus and the functions that control focus on the camera. We'll also explore focus assist that helps us find focus.
- 7.9: Frame Rate and Shutter Speed
- Understanding what frame rate is and how it works will help you decide how to control the speed of motion in your image. Shutter Speed helps determine how much light is let into the camera and how crisp motion appears.
- 7.10: White Balance
- Lights give off different colors. Knowing how to set your white balance will help you control the colors in your video.
- 7.11: Lenses
- Every camera uses a lens to create images on the image sensor. In this section, we'll look at different types of lenses and each of their benefits.
