LENS
07
The EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM features a zoom range of 24–105mm
and a constant f/4 aperture
EF = the lens type, corresponding to the different types of
lens mount on Canon cameras.
24-105mm = the focal length of the lens.
F4 = the maximum aperture.

CAMERA
MAINTENANCE
LENSES MIRROR SENSOR
RULE #1: NEVER TOUCH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS WITH
YOUR FINGERS OR BLOW ON THEM WITH YOUR MOUTH
1.Turn the camera off before changing
the lens. That will reduce static charge
on the sensor and lower the risk of
attracting dust.
2.Make sure that outside of the rear lens
element is clean and free of dust,
before attaching it to the camera. Use a
rocket blower to blow away dust and
especially other particles that can cause
scratches on the glass. Afterwards you
can use a dry micro fiber cloth, if still
necessary.
3.Do not leave the camera with the lens
mount open for an extended period of
time. When removing a lens, place the
body cap on the camera or replace the
lens immediately.
Never clean the mirror with anything but air. The
surface coating of the mirror is extremely fragile and
will scratch much more easily than the surface of a lens
or even the sensor itself. If, by some misfortune, the
mirror absolutely must be cleaned, send the camera to
the manufacturer. Remember that any dust on the
mirror may be annoying, but it will not have any effect
on image quality.

5. FOCAL LENGTH
07
The distance in millimetres between the focal
plane and the centre of the element when the
lens is focused at infinity.

6. CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

SETTING UP A SHOT
The Rule of Thirds: A compositional guideline that evenly divides an image into
thirds by using two horizontal and vertical dividing lines. Placing the subject or
elements of interest where the lines intersect, creates a more powerful
composition. It also helps framing the horizon line in an image.

– THE EXPOSURE
TRIANGLE

ISO: Light Sensitivity
Aperture: The size of the hole
Shutter Speed: the length of time that the
hole is open

8. APERTURE
07Aperture can add dimension to your
photos by controlling depth of field.
Aperture can effect the brightness, or exposure, of your images.
As aperture changes in size, it alters the overall amount of
light that reaches your camera sensor – and therefore the
brightness of your image.
A large aperture (a wide opening) will pass a lot of light,
resulting in a brighter photograph. A small aperture does
just the opposite, making a photo darker.
Aperture controls the size of the
opening of the lens

9. SHUTTER SPEED
07
Shutter speed is the length of time the camera
shutter is open, exposing light onto the camera
sensor. This can effect motion blur and
exposure
When you use a long shutter speed (also known as a “slow” shutter
speed), you end up exposing your sensor for a significant period of time.
The first big effect of it is motion blur. Slow shutter speeds are also
used to photograph the Milky Way or other objects at night, or in dim
environments with a tripod. If you use an especially fast shutter speed,
you can eliminate motion even from fast-moving objects, like birds in
flight, or cars driving past.
If you use a long shutter speed, your camera sensor gathers a lot of
light, and the resulting photo will be quite bright. By using a quick
shutter speed, your camera sensor is only exposed to a small fraction of
light, resulting in a darker photo.

10. ISO
07 A photo taken at too high of an ISO will show a lot of grain, also known as noise, and might
not be usable. So, brightening a photo via ISO is always a trade-off. You should only raise
your ISO when you are unable to brighten the photo via shutter speed or aperture instead
The sensitivity of the camera’s image sensor to light

11. SHOOTING MODES
07
Camera modes affect things like the main settings of aperture,
shutter speed, and ISO, and help photographers get the best
exposure in an image.

SHOOTING A
VIDEO
VIDEO MODE
MOVIE SERVO AF
MOVIE RECORDING SIZE,
QUALITY, AND FRAME RATE
The first step is to make sure your camera
is switched to Video mode. On some Canon
cameras this can be done via the switch
near the Start/Stop button, while on other
cameras, it can be found on the top-left
dial. This will put your camera into Live
View and allow you to see how your
footage will look on the rear LCD screen.
Also note that, when shooting in Video
mode, it’s important to use Manual mode.
This will give you complete control over all
your video settings.
When recording audio with your camera’s internal
microphone, it’s recommended to disable your Movie
Servo Autofocus function. This will eliminate the noise
that your lens makes while hunting for focus. If you’re
using an external microphone then you can enable
your Movie Servo AF without picking up the sound of
your lens focussing.
For the highest quality results, especially if you plan to invest more time in
editing your footage, you will want to shoot in 4K
In the Full HD menu, there are two options: the ‘For Editing (ALL I)’ Full HD
and the ‘Standard (IPB)’ Full HD.
If you plan to edit your footage then you will want to go with the ‘For Editing
(ALL I)’ option.
Displayed as ‘fps’, frames per second, your frame rate changes the look and
feel of your video footage. A low frame rate such as 24 fps will give your video
a filmic look, while higher frame rates like 60 fps and 120 fps will allow you to
slow down your footage in post-production.
WHITE BALANCE
In your white balance menu, toggle right all the way to the ‘K’ symbol, which
stands for kelvin. Generally speaking, the best custom white balance setting to
use for daytime shooting would be 5500 kelvin, which will give you a warmer
tone. At nighttime, a kelvin of around 3200 will give you a cooler, more blue
tone.
