Camera Lesson One: Introduction To The Camera

In this lesson we had a camera introduction with Matt, the media technician. We were introduced to a Sony NX5, a low-level professional camera and a tripod.
We were taught how to set up the tripod and attach the camera. This was all reasonably simple, like Matt said - it's like building lego! Next we were taught about what all the different icons on the screen mean. Matt explained how natural and man made lights have a different tint, and so you have to white balance it if you want the shot to look 'natural'. We played around with focus and zoom.
We were then instructed to strike our camera equipment and put it away carefully. This was overall a very easy, straight-forward lesson.
