The student should strive to meet the following objectives and demonstrate an understanding of the facts and principles presented in this course: 1.
Understand importance of downloading images into a master folder structure on one computer to keep dental images organized for easy retrieval.
2.
Understand importance of properly renaming files to make identification and retrieval easy.
3.
Understand the basic photographic concepts of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO and how they apply to intra-oral DSLR photography.
4.
Understand DSLR camera shooting modes and be able to set the correct shooting mode on their camera.
5.
Identify the optimal shutter speed, aperture, and ISO settings for intra-oral photography and understand why these settings are necessary to achieve correctly exposed images on a consistent, predictable basis. • The student will set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO on their camera that produce properly exposed intra-oral images on a consistent, predictable basis.
