Time for #adviceWe bought the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ99 and it's such a nice camera, but I realised I really need to start studying #photography again.Does anyone know a good online course I can attend to make the best out of this small one? I am already studying the instructions pamphlet, watching videos and trying to remember what I studied when I was younger, but I'd love to do more.Thank you!#photographygear @photography@lemmy.world @photography@fedigroups.social

@gilraen79 Hi! There are lots of online courses (and YouTube channels) to learn photography (below you’ve got a classic one and a Petapixel page with more courses).My advice is to work in mode A (Aperture priority) to control depth of field, letting the camera handle the rest of the settings. The wider the aperture—that is, the lower the f-number—the shallower the depth of field, meaning a smaller area in focus (ideal for portraits). Also, set the minimum ISO necessary to avoid a blurry photo.Only in situations where shutter speed is crucial (e.g., taking a photo of someone running) is it better to switch to S mode (Shutter priority), letting the camera choose the other settings (again, with the lowest ISO so the photo doesn’t come out too dark if the lighting is low).If you have questions, feel free to ask—talking about photography is always a pleasure ☺️ r-photoclass.com/petapixel.com/best-free-online@photography@lemmy.world @photography@fedigroups.social
