Learn how to set up your Sony camera for optimum performance!
About the event
In this workshop we will go through exactly how I have my camera set up for photos and video. I'll have my camera plugged into a big screen so you can see everything as we go through the menus together.
I will also be sharing all of the little tips and tricks that I've learnt over the years. Some of this stuff will completely change the way you shoot!
As always I have an open book policy, so bring your cameras and your questions and let's get learning!
