About This Course
This course is a comprehensive guide to understanding, selecting, and using DSLR and mirrorless cameras. The course is in Japanese and spans numerous topics related to photography.
The course begins by defining what a SLR and mirrorless camera is, including its structure and naming conventions. The distinct features of mirrorless cameras are also explored.
A core component of this course is a foundational knowledge section. It covers three key elements you need to understand before diving into photography: aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity. Each element is defined and its relationship with the others is discussed, demonstrating how these factors work together to create a photograph.
The course then proceeds to practical aspects of camera operation and basic settings. It introduces various shooting modes (M: Manual, A: Aperture priority, S: Shutter priority, P: Program auto) and provides a comprehensive review of each. Other topics include exposure (including exposure compensation), white balance, focus settings (including manual and auto), and even data-related aspects such as JPEG and RAW formats.
Further, the course details the concept of light and shadow, focusing on the characteristics and control of hard and soft light and the importance of managing shadows in your composition. This is followed by lessons on common mistakes in photography, such as overexposure, underexposure, blur due to camera shake, haloing, and focusing issues.
Composition, a critical aspect of good photography, is discussed extensively, with four tips to achieve good framing and balance in a shot. Various types of lenses and filters, including wide-angle, standard, telephoto, and macro lenses, are reviewed, aiding students in choosing the right equipment based on their photography goals.
Following this, the course provides advice on selecting a camera based on factors like sensor size and whether you plan to shoot video. Further sections deal with shooting techniques for different scenarios, such as portraits, food, landscapes, and night photography.
Useful information such as installing Adobe Photoshop CC and cleaning your lenses is also shared. Towards the end, there is an interactive Q&A session, allowing students to ask any outstanding questions.
The course wraps up with a summary of all the topics covered, reinforcing the learning and guiding the students towards applying these skills in their photography practice. In essence, this course offers a holistic understanding of the technicalities, artistry, and practical aspects of photography.
