I have been taking photos with my mobile phone camera, and I've recently bought a camera. Can I Get Guidance on How to Use My New Tool?
While it is true that it is not the camera but the person behind it who took the photo, you need to be efficient with your knobs-n-switches to get your mind out of fiddling with the gadget and miss those moments.
Learning your camera is only a small part of learning Photography. Please keep this in mind.

Limited backup equipment is available for classroom practice. But like any other manual skill, you need deliberate practice to become efficient in the skill in less time, so a camera for full-time use is required.

A laptop is not mandatory. If you have one, it’s useful for editing sessions. Otherwise, we guide you with shared demonstrations.
