Custom Camera Setup Master Class

Let an Expert help you up your camera.  Once your camera is set up, all you need to do is take photos.  Personalize settings to turn your “stock” camera into your custom camera.  Before your Custom Camera Setup Master Class, you will receive detailed instructions to make the proper settings.  During your class, fine tune those settings to understand why your camera is set up the way it is.  Or, go step-by-step— and setting-by-setting— with a Pro, so each part of your camera is ready for YOU.  Whatever works best.  The goal is the same: after your Custom Camera Setup Master Class, you and your camera are completely ready!
