Nikon DSLR D7000

We will be using Nikon DSLR D7000. This particular camera is 18 million mega pixel camera with 2 memory card slots. When taking a photo of the subject the camera will beep to indicate that the subject is in focus. It has a 18-105 zoom lens which creates photos of very high quality despite the zoom setting. When you are taking a photo you cannot us the screen as it is only as it is a playback monitor which is used to show what has been photographed so you can only use to view finder. When taking photos, you can use it with ease to take pictures as there are buttons on 2 sides of the camera also there are 2 main settings which the camera should be set on, either A or S, 'A' stands for aperture and 'S' stands for shutter speed. Aperture is a space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera. Shutter speed is the time which the shutter is open when taking a photographed, this can be altered on the camera before taking a photo. We also learnt about depth of field, depth of field is what is in focus in a photograph, there are 2 types when it comes to depth of field, shallow depth of field and deep depth of field, shallow depth of field is where the foreground is in focus and the background is blurred and deep depth of field is the opposite, background is in focus and the foreground is blurred. When taking a photo the subject must not be too close to the backdrop as they will bleach into the backdrop thus creating a low quality image. In order to take a black and white image, the setting must be changed on the camera itself rather than later on an editing software as it would produce a photo of much higher quality. The camera can be set on 2 different settings, manual and automatic, automatic prevents the user from altering the focus of the camera where annual provides full control.
