In today's lesson we were taught how to use cameras, changing the settings and setting up lighting equipment. First we were shown how two different cameras work, we started off by attaching the DSLR camera to a tripod and then doing the same with the film camera. We were shown the auto/manual switch points which changes the automatic focus on and off. The three wheels around the lens were shown to us and how they are used, I have used the zoom and focus before but not the iris wheel, this changes the size of the aperture so you can let in different amounts of light. To test how much we have learnt each of us had a go at changing the settings, then when you have finished, mess up the setting to see if the next person can put them right.

We then moved on to the DSLR camera, we were told that these are great for recording in slow motion as it can be set to record high frame rates. The ISO and scroll wheel allow you to change the shutter speed and the AV button along with the scroll wheel changes the size of the Iris.
