THE BASICS OF FOCUS & EXPOSURE

What does focus and exposure do? How do you check to see if your subject is in focus when shooting? How do you check to make sure your subject is exposed correctly?

   Manually focusing your camera on the subject you're shooting is very important. You want make sure the camera is set to manual focus. Then you zoom in to the subject, to your desired amount, and adjust the focus ring until the image is sharp. Now you have focused on your subject. For exposure, set your to the auto-iris. See how bright the shot is, then set the iris to manual. Always put your iris so your subject is well exposed.
