Task 1:
Watch the video to refresh your memory of how to hold a DSLR camera correctly. Task 2: Have a go at holding one of the cameras yourself to ensure that you understand each of the tips from the video. Use the image below to help you with more tips on holding the camera. |

Task 3:
Download & annotate the worksheet below to record your findings. This will be a really useful resource for you to come back to later if you find your shots are blurry or off centre (sometimes the reason your photos aren't perfect is as simple as the way you’re holding the camera!) |
Task 4:
Download the worksheet on the different parts of the camera using the links below. There is one worksheet for green level and another for amber/red so remember to pick your worksheet according to your level of challenge. |
