And I want to make sure that they're really really sharp. All right, so we've got our camera in Live View, and I want to manually focus on our cameras over there. And so, let me go ahead and just do that right now. Okay, next up we are able to zoom in and we'll be able to do focusing. And there's a couple of other features that we'll be talking about in there as we go through the rest of the class. And so those extra features are with the i button. And so it's a unique way of doing this from a tripod. And so this works really good if you have a wide landscaping you're trying to level up the left side of the scene and the right side of the scene. And depending on how wide your scene is you'll be able to do this, and then let's see, what was my other secret button? I need to hit the i button to get back out of this, and now I'm sure that I've got this level. And so let me hit the lock side again, and I can move the whole thing around. And now I can move this one around if I need to. I gotta hit the lock button down here if I want to go to the other side, it looks like. Actually I can move around any of these sides and I can reposition these if I want to and see. And then I hit the OK button, or I can actually. So it's kind of like the old split screen focusing, but this is for leveling, and so if I level it up right about there, looks pretty good. And so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hit the center button to go in, and what it is done is it's looking at the left and the right side of the frame to see if I have got this level or not. And so we clearly have a scene that is unlevel in front of us. So what it's gonna do is it's gonna zoom in, go to a split screen, and it's another way of making sure that you have a very very level scene in front of you. I don't know if anyone else that has this other than Nikon is a split screen display zoom. The one that I want to go to that's really unique. The next button is the i button, and this allows us a shortcut to a variety of features that we might want to get to. We can press the info button again to get rid of that, and now we have very little in the way of obscuring our composition on there. We get that top line of information, which we may or may not need. And if you don't want that in there ruining your composition, you just hit the info button again. And so this just helped you get the camera exactly level in the left, right, forward, back motion. We can see if we have pointed our camera up, or down, and if we want to get it perfectly level, we get it right here in the middle, and we try to get that green line right about there. And if we have any pilots in the crowd here, you're gonna love this. And so that looks like a better exposure on this particular scene right there. Like, oh, okay, I think I need to bump up the exposure on this a little bit. I have a little grid pattern so I can see if I have that table in my horizon aligned properly. And next up, hit the info, and I've just lost a line of informati. And let's get a little zoom in here, so we don't have quite as much widescreen. So I am gonna make sure that my camera is in the camera mode up here, and I'm gonna hit Live View, so that we get a live view of what's going on. Now, when you are in this mode, you can press the info button, and you can press it repeatedly to go through various different options, and tell you what, let's just do a quick little demo here in class. So by rotating the collar over to the camera, and then pressing the Live View button, the mirror goes up, light goes into the sensor, the camera feeds that information to the LCD on the back of the camera, so that you can see what the lens is pointed at. Let's go ahead and talk about these various modes. All right, so the Live View / Movie switch down on the bottom of the camera will allow you to work with the camera in a couple of different ways.
