Camera Functions

Finish your portrait and your journal first.
When you are finished~
9s get a camera identification sheet,
10s get a mode identification sheet.

Later (maybe next class), in groups, we are going to identify specific parts of the camera, learn about the different camera functions and what they do, then share with the class

Identify each of these camera modes and identify what they do. You will be assigned a specific camera mode to research with your group and then share with the class.
