Term 3 Session 3 ; Jim's Home page, Blogs, Printers, Using your camera.


(UPDATE Aug 2012 - I have removed images that won't display correctly but will leave the text here as reference)

From the home page of jimbell.id.au there are links to this blog as well as one called
Jim Bell's U3A Digital Photography Course that goes to the
course web
site, as opposed to this blog.
The web site's content almost never changes unlike the blog that gets updated regularly.



A blog is a website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. ... www.sussexlearningnetwork.org.uk/glossary/B

List of digital camera modes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_digital_camera_modes
"Most digital cameras support a number of digital camera modes for use in various situations. Professional dSLR cameras modes focus more on manual modes, consumer point-and-shoot cameras focus on automatic modes, and amateur prosumer cameras often have a wide variety of both manual and automatic modes. >
Manual modes give the photographer control over the various parameters of an exposure. They include:
  • P: Program mode offers partial control over shutter speed and aperture.
  • Tv or S: Shutter priority controls the shutter speed, and aperture is calculated by the camera.
  • Av or A: Aperture priority controls the aperture, and shutter speed is calculated by the camera.
  • M: Manual mode controls shutter speed and aperture independently."
