You bought your digital camera, now what?  

Bring your camera system to this three-hour workshop so that you can enjoy hands-on guidance to show you  step-by-step how to get the best possible photos from the camera system you have. The class size will be limited so that everyone will get the personal attention that is needed when you say “Where do I find THAT function?”

Topics covered: Batteries, media cards, image size, down loading to a computer, cataloguing your images, care of housing, understanding menus, setting the controls, determining exposure, aiming the strobe, zoom and auxiliary wide-angle lenses, diving with your camera, compensating for focus delay and getting the best photos.

The group will be divided into partners for practice drills so if you only have one camera for both of you, that will be fine. Bring a fully charged battery and a spare if you have one.

IMPORTANT: When you sign up for the class, you MUST email Cathy and tell her what type of camera you will be bringing or let her know if you have no camera to bring. She will bring handouts for each style of camera you have, so you must send her your information at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Clearly include the make and model, such as Olympus Stylus SP350.

When you leave this workshop you will have developed a good working knowledge of underwater digital photography with your system.

Cost $50. Limit 30
