Ideal for those who are using an SLR camera for the first time, or after a long break, this guide shows you what all the key controls do, and takes you through all the important menu options. At the end of it you’ll be more confident and more knowledgeable about your camera.

Expert presenter Claire Gillo guides you through the options, buttons and controls over a series of short no-nonsense video lessons.
