Back To Basics – Camera Settings You Need To Master

Here’s the absolutely essential settings you need to know in your camera – And WHY they matter

So often we get stuck trying to learn EVERY feature of our new cameras. The task can be daunting, and in truth, a lot of it isn’t really very relevant.

The key is knowing what you need to know – Because there are SOME settings in your camera that you absolutely need to master if you want to improve your photography.

In this brilliant tutorial, Roman Fox shows you exactly which settings you should know – And why they matter.

Whether you’re looking to master your photography or simply looking for the essential camera settings for beginners – Mastering the fundamentals is the number 1 place to start.

As Roman so brilliantly put it, camera settings don’t create great images – Photographers do. The key however is that you need to know your camera settings so that they don’t get IN THE WAY of you taking the amazing photos you see in your minds eye.

Knowing how aperture priority mode works, which ISO settings you should be using, ideal shutter speeds for different situations, and how the different focus modes work and which you should be using are the basic building blocks that all great photographers need to start from.
