Camera Handling

Even a monkey knows how to hold a camera.

Camera Handling – WRONG WAY
Placing your hand around the TOP of the lens is about as stupid as pointing your flash SIDEWAYS!
The camera is MUCH more stable with your left hand UNDER the lens.

BAD and GOOD

BAD – pinky in front, no good

BAD – but at least the camera is on a Tripod

Shutter Speed Shutter Speed The minimum SS is 1/60 for normal handheld photos.

BAD NEWS… no more film from Sams!!
Not sure what we are going to do…but I will figure out something.

ISO: 200-3200 Auto ISO is the default setting for the auto and scene shooting modes and will set a sensitivity between 200 and 3200 as it deems appropriate. You can also limit the auto ISO range to whatever you choose, such as 200 to 800. ISO 200 is the default for the P, Tv, Av and M modes unless you have previously selected an ISO. ISO may also be manually set at 200, 400, 800, 1600 or 3200.

Comparative ISO Ranges
Cameras have different ISO ranges:
Location ISO Max Useful
Film in 1985 25-3200 400
Film in 2005 100-3200 800
Canon A85 (2005) 50-400 200
Pentax ist DLSR 100-1600 800
Nikon D40 200-1600 1600
Pentax K100d 200-3200 1600
Nikon D3 100-25,000 6400
Camera manucatures will usually include a HIGH ISO that is not really useful except for really casual stuff. This means that you can use it…but the results will be pretty noisy.

Film Grain
Ironically, today, there are companies designing software to ADD grain to pictures to simulate the film of yesterday.
