Exposure, lenses, camera settings, rigging and multi-camera setups — everything you need to operate a professional camera confidently on a real set.
Every production needs someone who can pick up a camera and get a correctly exposed, properly framed shot every time — not by luck, but by understanding the camera. This course builds that understanding from the ground up.
You'll train on real professional cameras and lenses, building toward operating multi-camera setups for interviews, events and live productions.
Sensor types, the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), and frame rates.
Focal length, prime vs. zoom lenses, depth of field, and proper lens care.
White balance, colour profiles/LOG shooting, and reading exposure tools like histograms and zebras.
Tripods, gimbals, sliders and shoulder rigs for stable, controlled shots.
Sensor cleaning, firmware updates, and basic fault diagnosis.
Synchronizing multiple cameras for interviews, events and live productions.
Working as a camera operator or camera assistant on a real shoot.
