Photography

 In todays lesson I have learnt how to use a camera and all of the functions and different buttons there is to use. I have also learnt what P,A,S and M on the camera means. It means Program which lets you select the mode of the camera, Apature which lets you change the camera setting for better lighting, Speed which lets you photo or film something which uses speed like car racing or horse racing and Manual which lets you control the camera with the different settings. I have learnt 5 different types of setting to take a photo. The five settings are : Macro which is used for close ups like bees, and flowers, Portrait which lets you take a photo of a person, Landscape which lets you tak4e a photo of something landscape like a mountain or a great view, action which lets you take a photo of something which is action like in a movie and Video which is the recording setting for a film.

I have learnt where the battery and SD Card goes in on the camera. They go in the bottom of the camera in a slot. Without an SD card you cannot save or collect your photos or recordings. Without a battery you wont be able to switch on the camera and set it up ready to use. When you have finished taking photos, you should take the SD card out so you don't loose your photos or so they can be kept safe. This also helps when someone else is using the camera so they cant steal your photos or SD card.

The flash button lets you turn on the flash when you need to use it like in the dark. Otherwise you wont be able to see your shot and photo All you would be able to see is the pitch darkness which isn't a . The flash is great because it makes the photo brighter if you are trying to capture a photo in the dark. It adds more light and effect which makes the quality of the photo slightly better than just having darkness. Without the flash then taking a photo in the dark isn't useful because al you will be able to see is the dark and not the actual photo that you would like to show.  The flash would not be suitable to use near animals because animals don't like the flash. Also this is because the flash might scare the animals. You wont be able to get a good shot(photo) if the flash is on.
