During this task, I have learnt various things in relation to a DSLR camera. I have learnt how to do things such as inserting SD cards and batteries into a camera, as well as how to attach the lens to the camera itself and how to turn the camera on and off. Most importantly, I was able to understand how it is possible to take pictures and videos from the camera. This is essential for me to know as I am approaching the planning stage of my production and would need to know this vital information in order to continue with my portfolio. 

In this task about understanding about Canon DSLR cameras, I have learnt the fundamental information in order to progress with my work towards the final product. This is due to cameras being a big part of planning and the construction of my final product, as I will need to be able to function a camera with ease when filming for my production. Within the video, I demonstrate my knowledge of inserting SD cards and batteries into the camera correctly, as well as how to attach the lens and turn the camera on. Moreover, I show how to take pictures and videos using different mode settings on the camera which have to be switched to. I also demonstrate my knowledge of how to zoom into specific things within a frame, as well as how to fix the focus of the shot. Finally, I show how to view any footage which has been filmed with the camera and delete any unneeded footage. On top of this, I have regularly been viewing other YouTube videos which explain the other functionalities of the camera, such as adding a filter to the camera and creating a black and white video. I also use cameras often when filming for research tasks, which has helped me gain a sense of confidence when dealing with Canon DSLR cameras.
