Open Signal has just acquired Canon C100 Mkii cinema digital cameras. In this three-hour class, learn the basics of how to safely operate this camera, as well as how to use the histogram and waveform monitors to capture high-quality images. The camera’s slow motion and face-tracking auto-focus will also be covered.

This class certifies you as an Advanced Video Producer, which means you can reserve Open Signal's Canon C100 cameras for free, as well as submit videos to our cable channels.

Prerequisite: We recommend taking Intro to Video Production or have basic DSLR camera knowledge.
