Last week we had a practical session with Matt, learning how to operate the basic functions of the Sony NX5 camera. This involved learning how to assemble the tripod and attach the camera; how to use basic but key features like zoom, focus and exposure and started on basic camera safety and etiquette.

In other news, at the suggestion of another student I have chosen to download the blogger app. This means that I can easily update my blog on my iPhone whenever I have internet, which is useful.
