APPRENTICE ROBERTSON EGUEYE
CAMERA: CANON EOS 5D MK IV

London-based Robertson likes nothing more than getting out with his camera. He's been interested in photography for about five years, and loves to take portraits of interesting characters and personalities around his area. He'd like to get a better understanding of his camera settings and learn how to master shooting in low light.

APERTURE PRIORITY 

Jeremy set Robertson's Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to Aperture Priority mode, also called Av on the mode dial, which stands 'aperture value. This is a semi-automatic mode that allows Robertson to set the optimum aperture for good sharpness and a broad deep depth of field - f/8 or f/11 for most of the shots he'd be taking. His Canon EOS will then work out the shutter speed based on the metering mode, which Jeremy advised him to set to Evaluative to take into consideration the exposure across the whole frame.
