First read your camera’s manual to learn the basics of your camera’s operation.  Be prepared to explain how you can control the following features on your own camera: ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, depth of field, and white balance.  If you’re not sure what these things mean, read this article about camera basics from the NC State Photographers Manual.
