The basics of cameras and how to use them.

Aperture

Aperture needs to be adjusted depending on the locations brightness you are filming in. If the location isn't bright then it is best to be at the lowest f-stop. To change the aperture you need to go out of "Live View" and hold the + and - button on the top of the camera. Then use the command dial to go up and down until its the way you want it.

ISO

White balance

You have to White balance at every location you shoot at depending on the light of the location you are filming in. It is handy to have a white piece of paper to help set the white balance. To change the white balance, first turn off the live view and then select menu, then shooting menu then scroll down to white balance press right on the multi selector then scroll down to 'PRE Preset Manual’ press right then you will see the white balance ‘Preset manual’ and select measure then select yes. Then take a photo of the white sheet while using the 'viewfinder'
