I’m off to New York for my Travel Photography Workshop I know, I know, I just got back from Lisbon last week, but Erik and I wanted to hold our workshop before it gets summer-time hot in New York (which can be a scorcher), so we needed to go now, and thankfully we’re going to have perfect temperatures throughout (we’ll even have to dress in layers if you can believe that).

The post The Camera Mode Dial: A Comprehensive Guide appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Simon Ringsmuth. If you own a DSLR, a mirrorless camera, or even a high-end point-and-shoot model, you’ve probably spent time scrutinizing the camera mode dial. Here, I’m talking about the circular dial on top of cameras with an array of strange letters: M, Tv (or S), Av (or A), P, and maybe even a U1 or U2 (or C1 or C2).
