You'll learn about basic exposure control, and just become more familiar with your camera in general.

Direct Quotes: - "Like so many people, I have wanted to get into photography and off of 'full auto' mode for so long, but have always found excuses to put it off for another day. This class was exactly the jump start I needed." - "I truly was nervous entering class today knowing basically nothing about cameras. The instructor made me feel so welcome and filled me up with knowledge of how to use the features on my camera. It was an amazing class and I would recommend a basic beginners class if you need to know your camera." - "Sally did a great job breaking down complex ideas, and she made the process fun. While I know there's more to learn, I walked away feeling that I could get started...and that I wanted to do so!"
