first practical lesson - setting up the camera

In my first lesson i learnt how to set up a camera on a tripod. There are 3 legs to a tripod and you can adjust the hight of each to your choice.
Once setting up the hight, you can put the camera onto the tripod is fairly easy as all you do is loosen a nob and hold down a button to slid the camera on and then tighten the nob back up. Next comes bubbling the camera to make sure its flat, where you hold the camera and turn a nozzle on the tripod moving the camera untill the bubble is in the circle.

I also learnt what all the different numbers on the screen of the camera mean, for example the white balance, shutter speed, battery power and the time code.
This is a photo of a camera almost the same as the one we used, and a tripod.
