: send me an email at vive_le_snowboard_@hotmail.com
: thx
Well, it only took me three years of photography/cinematography school before I really started to understand cameras and shooting.
Where would you like to start? Lighting? The 180 degree rule? Lenses? FPS? Depth of field? Screen direction? Or shall we just jump in and say "point the round end of the camera at the subject".
Seriously, go to a bookstore and check out the books on basic photography/digital filmaking/directing. As for teaching you how your camera works, read your manual first, then cross reference any topic you don't understand with a book on digital filmaking. Read a book about directing to understand where you should place your camera and why. A photography book will help you learn about lighting, lenses, depth of field, color temperture, etc.
Once you've done this, come back here with specific questions and we can help you.
