Here's What You Get in the DVDs:
DVD 1 – Understanding your camera settings
This DVD takes you through the 7 settings that you need to know for taking photos. Every camera is different not only in brand but also model, all cameras have the same settings which get basically the same results from a fairly low end camera right up to some of the expensive models.
People rarely know how to use their new digital cameras. Often these manuals are written in a very technical language. The average person won't be bothered reading through the large manual that came with their camera.
We will take you through the important things that you need to know so you will be up and running as quickly as possible!
