Introduced in 1987, the Canon EOS (Electro-Optical-System) is a popular system of interchangeable camera bodies, lenses and flashes. By 2007, more than 40 EOS camera models had been released. The main competition for this series is the Nikon F series, though the EOS models are more affordable, as well as more popular in most countries. The 40D is a midrange digital SLR camera with professional features, perfect for the advanced photographer who can't quite afford or justify spending the money for a pro model. The digital camera presents photographers with new tools, and new challenges for taking great photos. And part of becoming a great photographer is mastering the features and capabilities of your camera of choice.

In this free lesson on how to use the Canon EOS 40D digital camera, you will learn the basics such as charging the battery, changing lenses, and using the controls. Ryan Vaughn will demonstrate how to use the dials to navigate LED screens in order to adjust such key settings as shutter speed and aperture.
