Today’s DSLR and Mirrorless cameras are fantastic aren’t they? 
The great thing is… they have an enormous number of features and settings
The problem is………they have an enormous number of features and settings!!
And it is a problem, because although there are some real hidden gems amongst all those features, they can seem confusing or intimidating, and so a lot of photographers simply ignore or shy away from them (you know who you are!!) 
This course, aimed at beginner and intermediate photographers, covers DSLR and Mirrorless basic settings, but also explains your camera’s more advanced features and settings.
