Focus & Exposure

 What do focus and exposure do? How do you check to see if your subject is in focus when shooting? How do you check to make sure your subject is exposed correctly?

    Focus pulls your subject into focus and makes sure it in its most clear form. Exposure ensures that your image/video has the best lighting and proper lighting instead of being overly lit and under lit. To check if your subject is in focus you check the view finder and when you want to pull focus you set your camera to manual focus, zoom in tight on your subject, and mess with the focus ring until your subjects in focus, you then zoom out all the way for your shot and it should be in focus. To check if your subject is exposed properly you check the view finder and if it is not exposed properly you frame your shot correctly and adjust the aperture(iris) to make sure everything is lit correctly.
