Use this Downtime to Get to Know your Camera

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided many of us with plenty of downtime, and for videographers who need to go out and shoot, this can be devastating.

Instead of wallowing in the negative, some camera enthusiasts have used this extra time to get to know their equipment better.

Some of them suggest carrying around their camera’s manual, stopping to read it whenever they get a chance.

The camera guide itself is the best educator for video shooters, and by reading it, you’ll become more connected with your equipment.

Key Takeaways:

  • This is a perfect time for people to learn more about their camera, whether they are a beginner or experienced.
  • It is vital to understand the equipment so that you are prepared for anything that may occur in the field.
  • It is important to read the manual because this can help users gain a better grasp of the essentials of their camera.

“The pandemic changed 2020 in ways we never imagined, as it forced many people to a time of reduced activity or inactivity.”
