Brian Ratty introduces this instructional video on how to use a 35mm camera. The program is divided into three half-hour chapters. Part one covers: How the SLR works, “f” stops and shutter speeds, exposure, depth of field and film. Part two covers: Lenses, available light, flash, filters and steady shooting. Part three covers: seeing with the camera, candids, portraits, the environmental portrait and sports and action.
