Please read Chapters 1&2 of your textbook. Also read your camera's instruction manual fully (I know you won't understand it all, but it will at least make you aware of your camera's features).
Over the weekend, you are to shoot at least 50 photos as discussed in class.
For this first outing, I suggested that you start with your ISO at 400. This 'medium speed' ISO will insure that you have a better chance of being able to get a sharp image in lower light conditions.
Begin with your shutter speed at 1/60. Adjust your aperture in order to get the meter to indicate a correct exposure (usually this is by indicating a marker at 0 on a numerical scale visible through the viewfinder). If it nice outside, you should be able to to this with no problem. If you find that you don't have enough light (you can't get it to out of the - numbers to read 0) even with the aperture at its largest (numerically lowest number), then you should increase your ISO until the meter indicates a correct exposure. Remember you must use 1/60 or faster when hand holding the camera.
Shoot RAW files only.
Be sure the date and time are set correctly.
In the future, I suggest you start with your ISO at is lowest, (100 or 200 depending on your camera)
