- prime lens has one focal length
- zoom lens have variable focal lengths
- the higher the focal length the more depth of field
- telephoto focal length is used for sports and wild life
- the lower the focal length the wider the angle
- more light lower iso
- less light more iso
- shutter speed is how long the shutter is open
- your shutter speed should be double your frame rate
- tripods are great for still pictures
- the smaller the aperture number the bigger the opening
- “fast” lens have a bigger maximum aperture
- larger aperture the shallower depth of field
- longer lens have a more shallow depth of field
- aperture/F-stop = depth of field
- shutter speed = blur
- iso = grain or noise
- full auto shooting mode = green box
- ca = creative audio
- tv= take control of only shutter speed
- Av= aperture control only
- A-dep= automatic depth of field
