Boot Camp:
Day 2
Day 2
Day 2

2. Agenda
• Housekeeping
• Insurance Questions?
• Review Week 1
• Depth of Field
• Color Temperature
• Camera “Field Practice”

3. How do you eat an elephant?

4. One bite at a time.

5. After this lab, you will be able to
•List three things that affect depth of field
•Identify different color temperatures
•Understand perspective distortion
•Adjust the shutter, f-stop, and focus on the EX1
•Set the white balance on the EX1
•Use zebras to prevent overexposure
•Use peaking to assist focus

6. Exposure
Amount of light that a
given medium requires
for image reproduction

7. Three determinants of exposure
•F-Stops
•Shutter speed
•Sensitivity

9. Shutter Speed
Aperature = how much light is
allowed to strike the sensor
Shutter speed = how long the
light is allowed to strike the sensor

10. Three elements of Depth of Field
•Aperture
•Camera/subject
distance
•Focal length

12. Shallow
Deep

13. Perspective distortion
extension distortion wide-angle distortion
compression distortion telephoto distortion

28. Color Temperature
Color temperature is measured in Kelvins (k)

64. 1/48 Technical explanation:
“With a traditional shutter angle of 180°, film is exposed
for 1/48 second at 24 frame per second.”
Simple: Looks better (more like film = more cinematic)

65. White Balance
You have three options –PRST: Preset mode (a
factory setting of 3200K)A: Memory A mode
B: ATW or Memory B mode
To store a temperature:
1.Point the camera at a white object that is
matte (non-reflective) and covers 80% of the
frame.
2. Once you have selected your white matte
object, turn the white balance switch to “A”
3. Press the white balance button.
