Step Two:
In the menu on the LCD monitor, choose WB SHIFT/BKT (this is the white balance
correction menu) and then press the SET button to bring up the white balance
correction/white balance bracketing screen.
Step Three:
This screen features a grid where you can tweak the temperature of the currently
selected white balance.
Step Four:
Using the Multi-Controller (which works kind of like a joystick), move the little
square grid dot two clicks over toward A (Amber), which will warm up the Daylight
white balance.
Step Five:
Press the SET button to lock in your settings.
Note: By the way, if you ever want to reset the temperature back to its default
setting, just go back to the same screen (the white balance correction/white
balance bracketing screen) and move the little square grid dot back to the 0 (zero)
position in the center of the grid.

Book two
Page 13: Drag the shutter to see more of the background. Set your camera to shoot
in program mode. Then, aim at your subject and hold the shutter button down
halfway so your camera takes a meter reading of the scene. Look in your viewfinder
and see the f-stop and shutter speed your camera chose to properly expose your
subject and remember those two numbers. Now switch to manual mode and dial in
those same two numbers. If the camera showed a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second
to drag the shutter you should need to use a slower shutter speed right? So try
lowering the shutter speed to 1/15 of a second and take the shot.
Page 24: Get the SI look. First you set the white balance on your camera to
Tungsten then pop a yellow gel on to your flash. Shoot near dusk so the background
sky is dark and moody.
Page 62: Super Saturated background colors. Use a black background and light it

Page 64: Reflectors, use gold for outdoor, silver for studio.
Page 91: Always shoot with their shoulders turned this goes for everyone.
Page 17: Switch your camera to program mode, then hold expose this daylight shot.
Let's say it's 1/80 of a second at f/11. Switch to manual mode, and dial it in. Now to
make the scene darker you'd just change the f-stop to f/16 take a test shot and see
if it's dark enough. If not drop it down to f/22 and make another shot. now you turn
on your flash and light your subject.
Page 22: Shooting portraits use a light orange gel over the flash (CTO)
Page 116: Graduated Neutral Density Filter - use a large rectangular plastic one and
hold it up to the lens
Page 146: Shoot at 1/1000 for sports - to keep it at 1/1000 you need to set the ISO
speed to A by looking at the LCD panel and turning the main dial on top of your
camera.
Page 153: Auto Track the Action. On Canon it's called AL Servo AF and you turn it on
by pressing the AF-Drive button on the top of the camera and then turning the mail
dial until you see AI Servo in the top LCD panel.
