Equipment Expectations

Camera Expectations

• Do not move the tripod and camera while they are attached (detach first)

• Be very careful not to drop the camera.

• Only Mrs. Hodges may swap lenses.

• If there are dust spots showing up on the photographs, tell Mrs. Hodges.

• Do not tap on or yell into the mic

Battery Expectations

• Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

• Batteries should be stored separately from the camera

• Put them on the charger when done.

• Tell Mrs. Hodges if you notice a battery with an odor, change in color, too much heat, change in shape, leaking, or odd noises.

SD Card Expectations

• SD (Secure Digital): A flash memory card format

• Each group will share one memory card. Remember your card # and store in the correct slot when not in use.

• Format your memory card to your camera when starting with a new camera. Formatting your card erases all of your files so make sure you have transferred all files to your computer first.

• SD cards can corrupt - always transfer your files to your computer ASAP.

• Always “Eject” an SD card before removing from a computer.

How to Eject an SD Card

• On Desktop, right-click on it, then click “Eject “SD Card””

• In Finder, click the eject button next to it’s name

File Expectations

• All files transferred from a camera to your computer should be moved to your “Creative Cloud Files” folder in your “Finder”

• These files are stored on the cloud so if you need to swap computers, you will still have your files

Tripod Expectations

• DO make sure all tripod dials/clips are secure before attaching a camera.

• DO NOT place a tripod in an area where it will get bumped/tipped over.
