23 pages on how a camera actually works. Aperture, shutter and ISO as one linked system, focal length, light, white balance, finishing with the complete nine-setting cinema workflow.
Overview
23 pages on how a camera actually works. It starts with the foundation: aperture, shutter speed and ISO as one linked system, measured in a single shared unit. Then it works outward, how focal length changes a face, how source size decides whether light is hard or soft, why manual white balance is the difference between shots that match in the edit and shots that don't. It finishes with a complete professional cinema workflow: nine interlocking camera settings and the reasoning behind every one.
Written from real client production, not theory. Every chapter includes decision tables you can shoot from, plus honest takes on the mistakes that cost people usable footage: shooting groups at f/1.8, double-stabilising on a gimbal, changing white balance mid-clip.
What's Inside

- Three real balancing scenarios worked start to finish
- Focal length: compression, distortion and working distance from 16mm to 135mm
- Lighting modifiers and the source-size principle
- VND & CPL filters, with a strength-to-condition chart
- White balance, the Kelvin scale, and mixed lighting fixes
- Frame rate, slow motion and the soap-opera look
- Stabilisation modes and the crop each one costs you
- Focus modes, metering modes, JPEG vs RAW
- The complete camera workflow, nine settings and why they interlock
