About this course

In Camera Fundamentals 201, veteran Sony shooter and YouTube educator Gerald Undone guides you through the tools and settings that separate confident creators from casual shooters. Across 10 focused modules, you'll learn how to customize your displays for better image evaluation, use histograms and zebra warnings to nail exposure every time, and dial in white balance for accurate, consistent color. You'll explore Picture Profiles and Log shooting to maximize dynamic range, understand shutter types for every shooting scenario, and make the most of dual card slots. Gerald also covers extended zoom options, stabilization modes, audio recording best practices, and a collection of must-know miscellaneous settings – including USB streaming, Dual Gain Shooting, and back button focus. Whether you're shooting stills or video, this course gives you the knowledge to get more out of every shot.
