Training start with topics as simple as how to hold and carry your camera, then move on to the different camera modes like P, A or Av, S or Tv, and M. It goes on to explain what shutter speed and aperture mean, and how to use this knowledge to become a better, more creative photographer. It goes through many of the buttons that may be confusing you on your camera, discusses the different focusing modes, and even gets into flash photography — starting with getting the most from your camera’s built-in flash, to add-on flashes and even using multiple strobes at once! There’s also a section on the three cornerstones of creative photography; perspective, angle and detail. Learn how to see the world in a differnet way, and improve your photography dramatically! Finally, there’s even a chapter on how to buy new camera gear.
