The SPI (School of Photographic Imaging) Creative Camera Control course sets you a series of guided tasks that explore the various shooting modes and focus options. The exercises are carefully designed so that you can clearly see the effects of the choices you make in the pictures you take.

• Emphasise subjects by using the aperture and focus to control depth of field
• Explore the portrayal of movement using the shutter priority mode
• Understand the choices subject specific modes are making on your behalf
• Avoid common pitfalls of being in the wrong mode for the situation
• Take the fear out of taking back control of your camera!
