The second in a two part class designed to get you exploring the features and settings of your digital SLR.
In part 2 we take you to the next level in SLR photography. We will show you how to change the way your camera reads light and focus; this will allow more control over your camera and the resulting images.
For example, sports photographers may want more control of what the camera will focus on, whilst stage photographers will want to control from where the camera reads light.
