Powerpoint 3B: Adjusting the setting on your camera

how do you adjust the following on your DSLR

IMAGE quality and ISO from the Menu

explain what is ISO give examples

explain what is APERATURE , how to set it on the camera and give example

explain what is SHUTTER SPEED , how to set it on the camera and give example

DSLR Camera checked out

We are currently on a Table checkout rotation...
Each person will get a chance at the camera to do assignment with the DSLR checked out for 1 school day.

we already had an incident of someone leaving the camera at the college office... but what if you left it on the subway? or if someone else took it and did not return it? That would be $500 out of your pocket...

I think we should invest in a TRACKING device like the "tile" https://www.thetileapp.com/

What do you think?... The next person that does not follow the DSLR camera checkout agreement will be "FINED" a tile ($25) if you are lucky to recover it or buy the replacement camera.
