The reason that we are covering each of the main controls of the DSLR camera and creating our own photos in class is so that we can look back on our work at a later date if we ever need a quick refresher of how to properly use a camera.
6 months from now, if I give you feedback that your photographs are out of focus or that your ISO is slightly off in a photo, it is important that you can revisit the work you are currently creating and know how to fix the problem you had. Therefore, I would like you to create ‘Info pages’ for each of the topics we cover in class and upload them to your site to help you in the future.
The Task: a) Create a ‘how to guide’ on Focus lock & Manual focus, including the steps of how to use each one. How you want this to look and what you want it to say is totally up to you – you are the one who will need to read it later and understand what it means so try to be as clear as possible.
You should use the internet to help you, but remember that your work needs to be in your own words in order to avoid copyright infringement. Try to include images on your page like in the examples below:
b) Create a ‘how to guide’ on ISO. Find out what ISO is and include this information in your how to guide. You might like to find examples of what the same image in different ISOs look like (there are lots of good ones online if you search). This website has lots of great information which you may like to take notes from to use in your guide:

c) Upload your info pages to your site. Remember that your work should be uploaded as an image to your site - if you choose to use Canva or Google Slides for this task, you should download your work as a jpeg before you upload it. You should upload your Focus info sheet beneath your Focus photos taken in lessons and your ISO info sheet beneath your ISO photos.
