Washington Photo Safari - Canon 30D/40D Users Safari

Fast on the heels of Canon’s popular 30D camera, the new 40D features live preview, 10.1 MP  and a burst rate of 6.5 fps, improved sensor, a 3-inch screen and interchangeable focusing screens, this Safari will help new 40D users and current 30D users put their cameras through the paces of ISO settings, flash settings, variable white balance settings, file  compression, aperture and shutter priorities, focus settings, custom settings, menu navigation tricks, exposure tricks, use of the histogram etc. menu shortcuts inside and outside of the new National Museum of the American Indian.

Special exhibits at the museum pose unique white balance challenges for the digital photographer, especially the mix of daylight and tungsten light. The eight-story high atrium is a great place to practice wide-angle photography, and the carvings and statues provide challenges for your telephoto lens. Digital camera specialist Melanie Otto provides hands-on training for these exciting pieces of equipment.
