Camera Basics Part 1: Getting Started with Your DSLR or Mirrorless Camera

You've started with your phone and now it's time to upgrade or maybe you just found out about photography or you want to level up your videography skills by upgrading to a DSLR or mirrorless camera.

In this class you will learn everything from the parts of your camera and lens to what buttons and functions are on your camera to get you started taking photos and videos! Learning the basics of your camera and getting more familiar with how it operates and functions will make you more efficient when you’re out on a shoot or filming your next adventure.

Wether it’s taking photos for a client, filming a movie, creating your next Youtube video, or here on Skillshare, getting to know your camera will level up your skill when you’re on your next shoot.

In this class, we’ll cover:

• Parts of the Camera

I’ll be using the Canon M50 for an example but many of the buttons and functions are similar with other cameras. So grab your camera and let’s get started!
