Chapter 4 Assignments Learning how to master exposure and focus is the subject of several chapters in this book. When recording video with your DSLR, you'll find that these two technical hurdles can be quite challenging. Take the time to practice these skills repeatedly because you'll always find challenges ahead. Experiment with the Exposure Triangle Try different combinations of ISO, aperture, and f-stop with your camera in Manual mode. Attempt to achieve a proper exposure while experimenting with the depth of field options your camera offers. Record a Shot with Bokeh Set your camera's aperture as wide open as possible. Then try racking focus until you can create bokeh. When you have the basics down, move on to blurring a background while leav- ing a foreground subject in focus. Manually Set Focus Using the camera's LCD panel, set your zoom lens to magnify your subject. Then, using the Magnify buttons, increase the magnification on the LCD panel. Using the focus ring, try to manually focus your camera. Share your results with the book's Vimeo group! Join the group here: vimeo.com/groups/DSLRVideoFSTGS 89
