This 4-week self-paced course guides students through mastering manual camera settings, focusing on aperture, shutter speed, and ISO for achieving well-exposed photos. Learners watch video lessons and practice taking photos in different modes, progressing from auto to manual. Students will upload their images to the classroom, where they’ll receive personalized feedback and engage in discussions with peers. The course is designed for beginner photographers who want to take full creative control of their camera and improve their technical understanding of exposure. Learners can watch and work at their own pace. Students will explore key camera settings, beginning with auto mode and gradually transitioning to full manual mode by the end of the course. Learners will complete photography assignments based on the weekly lesson and share their work for feedback. Personalized feedback will be provided for every submitted image, helping students refine their skills and gain confidence in manual photography. This course provides a structured yet flexible introduction to manual photography, encouraging learners to develop their technical skills while receiving individualized feedback.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to effectively set and adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO for optimal exposure in various lighting conditions.Each week, students will practice using one specific setting, gaining confidence in manual photography techniques through practical exercises.Syllabus
