How to use this course

- In order to get the most out of this course, I want you to have your camera in your hands if at all possible. This is going to be one of the best ways to learn. As we take a look at a particular shooting situation or talk about menu items, I want you to pause the video and experiment with your own camera. It's absolutely fine to watch a movie and then pause it and take some time to get familiar with your gear. Also, keep in mind that some of the skills that you're going to learn are not easy. As such, you might need to watch a movie a few times or go back and watch it after you've practiced a bit. This course is designed for new and intermediate users, but you are going to be exposed to some pretty complex techniques. What I find most useful is to watch one chapter at a time. In this case, you should be able to get all of the related skills and then go practice for a little bit. My personal suggestion also is that since many of these skills build upon each other, it is a very good idea to start at the beginning of this course and work your way through it in a linear fashion. I'm not going to frequently backtrack information, so if you find yourself jumping around a lot, you're likely going to miss information that's going to be quite useful, and this will cause you more problems in the long run. So if you're willing to be a little bit patient and work through the course in a straightforward, methodical way, I think you'll find you really gain great control over your camera and a good general overall mastery. Now we're going to cover all sorts of things that are necessary for beginners and intermediate shooters. And throughout this course, you're going to learn the settings and the options in your camera that make the most difference. Now because every shooter's a little bit different and every shooting style is also a little bit different, you may find that some of the options I show you are ones that you haven't seen before or tried, and you might want to consider these for additions into your workflow. All right, go ahead and get your camera battery on charge, grab your camera, body, and lens, and let's begin.
