Digital SLR: Using Shutter Speed Settings
Shutter Priority, also known as Time Value or TV on some cameras, is the best choice when you want to control how long of an exposure you take and don’t care as much about the depth of field. An example of this type of image capture is sports photography, where you really want to freeze the subject in motion. Another is where the wind is blowing, and you want to avoid the blurring of trees, flowers, and grasses.
Digital SLR: Using Aperture Settings
Aperture Priority, sometimes referred to as AV or Aperture Value, is used when you need to control which parts of your image are in focus. Landscape and portrait photography are almost exclusively shot with Aperture Priority and for exactly the same reason, even though the desired results are polar opposites.
Aperture and f-stop Basics
Aperture controls depth of field in your images by changing the size of the diaphragm in the lens to control light. Smaller numbers, like 4.0, 3.5, and 2.8, mean a larger opening (Figure 1) which allows more light to hit the sensor in less time. This also gives you less depth of field, or range of focus.
Getting Photos Online with EasyShare
Kodak EasyShare gives you two ways to put your photos online. If you use the EasyShare software to organize your photo collection on your PC (as discussed in the previous chapter) then you can upload your pictures from the same window without missing a beat (Figure 2). Then, there’s EasyShare Gallery (www.kodakgallery.com), the online component. This site lets you upload photos using any Web browser, which is great when you’re on the road or have your browser window open anyway.

Using Program Mode on Digital SLR
The first stop for almost everyone is Program mode. Usually identified with a P (Figure 1), this mode puts all control in the hands of the camera. Both aperture and shutter speed are set automatically, based on how the camera senses the available light, which lets you concentrate on learning how to compose and focusideal for someone just moving into a full-featured camera.
Rugs for Photo Studio, Everyone?
Do you have a cold and akward room? Especially if you have a wood floor, the space might feel bare and blank. If you want to make your own photo studio, then that might not be a problem, just maybe. However, if you want to make yourself comfortable on the room, you can actually make the space warmer and more welcoming by simply adding small area rugs.

Digital SLR: Focus Modes
Another major area of difference between a compact digicam and a digital SLR is in the ability to select focus modes. Whereas a compact camera focuses on a subject and then captures the image, a dSLR can easily shoot in Continuous Focus mode, tracking a moving subject and keeping it in focus until, and even after, you press the shutter button.
Continuous Focus
Continuous Focus, sometimes called Servo, or AI, or Predictive Auto Focus, is designed for sports and wildlife photography where the subject is moving and the photographer is panning the camera along with the subject prior to capturing the image. This mode works on most cameras by pressing the shutter button halfway to activate the metering and focus tracking. (Some cameras have alternative ways to activate focus.) Depending on your camera, one or more focus points (Figure 1) will lock onto the subject, and as it moves the lens will change focus to keep the subject sharp.
