Description

If you have recently purchased or plan to use the Panasonic Lumix GH4 as your primary camera, this is the course for you. Even if you've never used a DSLR before, this course will work to build your understanding of both the camera and general photography from the ground up.

When Michael started in 2003, before the youtube age, he learned by trial and error. It took him 2 years to fully master his camera. In 2008, after many years of shooting weddings, Michael was convinced he could develop a teaching system to help new students learn their cameras over a weekend. He's been teaching new photographers ever since! Michael's unique approach focuses on simplicity, clarity, and synthesis, which has helped thousands of beginning students learn their cameras in just a few hours.

This is a relatively short course – about four and a half hours is all it takes to become a master with this camera. Lectures are 100% easy-to-follow videos, with plenty of clear diagrams that will construct your understanding of the camera dynamically.
