- 1). Turn your Canon camera to its manual mode. On most canon models this is done by rotating the settings wheel to the "M" position. On high-end DSLR's you may need to access the menu by pressing the menu button on the back of the camera.
- 2). Set your camera's ISO to 100. On film cameras, load a roll of 100 speed film. Most film models will auto-detect the speed. If not, manually change the ISO to 100 by rotating the ISO knob located on top of your camera. On DSLR's access the menu and go into the ISO settings menu to make the adjustment.
- 3). Rotate the aperture setting to f/11. Simply turn the aperture setting ring located on the lens until it reads 11. Set your shutter speed to 1/125 by turning the dial on top of your film camera or accessing the shutter speed menu on your digital camera. Mount the camera to a tripod.
- 4). Look through the viewfinder to frame your photograph. Zoom in as close as possible to the moon. Use the manual focus mode by rotating the end of your lens until the moon appears clear and focused in your viewfinder.
- 5). Step away from your camera and press the shutter release button on the remote. Do not touch your camera while taking a photograph. It will cause the photo to blur.
