What shooting mode do beginners choose?

Pick up the camera to take pictures, the first thing that comes to mind is what shooting mode to choose.

Therefore, beginners should know how to use various shooting modes and their working principles.

p:

P program mode (P) means that the camera automatically sets the shutter and aperture. Sensitivity ISO should be operated manually by itself, which is called P program mode.

It is displayed in the viewfinder and automatically measures the light through the program. After the camera measures light, it will automatically generate a set of aperture and shutter combinations, thus calculating the correct exposure value. Program mode is similar to automatic mode, but it allows you to control some settings, such as flash, white balance, ISO value, focus, metering mode and EV exposure value mode.

AV:

AV aperture priority (AV stands for aperture value) is up to you first. Aperture is the first step. After choosing the aperture, the camera will help you decide the shutter speed (the shutter is automatic) and the ISO sensitivity should be manual.

Aperture priority is very useful when you need to control the depth of field (usually fixed objects), such as taking portraits in broad daylight. In any case, you must take pictures of people with hazy backgrounds. At this time, you can use aperture priority and turn the aperture to the maximum before shooting.

Television:

TV stands for shutter priority (TV stands for time value). You first choose shutter speed, automatic aperture and ISO manual sensitivity.

This shows that the shutter speed is very important to you. It can determine whether the image of a photo is moving or still, clear or sharp. For example, when you shoot a subject moving at high speed, you may want to use a high-speed shutter to freeze its motion. When you want to shoot waterfalls and running water, you can use a slow shutter. At this time, you should first set the desired shutter speed and let the camera decide the aperture.

M Manual mode (M), shutter manual, aperture manual, ISO manual. That is, full manual mode.

In this mode, you can completely control your camera. The shutter, aperture, white balance and flash are all set by yourself. By slowly trying, you can further understand the effect of photos taken with different settings. Manual mode is to set all settings related to manual to manual mode.

First, set the shooting mode to M position, then set the A/M selector switch on the lens to M position, and use manual focusing.

The focus mode in the camera should also be selected to MF, that is, manual focus, so as to complete all the settings of manual focus and carry out real manual focus.

Manual focusing requires the photographer to know enough about the aperture and shutter (to thoroughly understand the relationship between aperture/shutter/sensitivity), to accurately judge what kind of aperture and shutter should be set to make the photo accurately exposed, and to accurately change and adjust the aperture and shutter at any time according to the changes of environment and light. For example, taking portraits in the sun requires an aperture of 1 1 and a speed of1125 seconds, so when clouds come to block the sun or people move to the shadow to shoot, then the aperture should be adjusted to 8 or the speed should be adjusted to 1/60 to ensure the accuracy of exposure.

Use manual (M) mode to adjust the aperture or shutter according to the exposure indication (EV value) of the metering system.

Manual mode has no exposure compensation (+-EV) function.

Manual (M) mode is suitable for use under fixed brightness, as long as the exposure value of the scene is well grasped and fine-tuned when shooting. The use of M files gives you time to think about the composition and theme of the picture.

Using the full manual mode will let you decide whether to use the aperture to adjust the shutter first according to the different shooting themes, that is, shooting still life or static scenery and humanities; I still decided to use the shutter to adjust the aperture first, that is, to shoot high-speed sports. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that shooting in full manual mode includes shutter priority and aperture priority functions. This decision-making process will exercise the photographer's observation and creativity, let you practice shooting more, and make your work more diversified.

Motion mode-

This mode is for you to use when shooting moving objects. For example, it is very useful for athletes, pets, cars, wildlife and children. Motion mode mainly uses high-speed shutter to freeze the motion of the subject. When shooting, the camera will automatically increase the shutter speed and ISO, so that you can take clear photos of athletes on sunny or cloudy days.

Macro mode-

Macro mode, mainly to narrow the aperture, has enough depth of field to shoot clear and detailed works. If you need real macro photography, you must change the designated lens.

Landscape mode-

When using landscape mode, the aperture will be narrowed (the F value will be larger). The whole photo becomes clear (so-called deep depth of field). This mode will try to ensure that your photos are clear. Because the aperture is narrowed, the exposure time may be longer. At this time, it is best to fix the camera with a tripod to avoid blurring the photos.

Portrait mode-

When using portrait mode, the camera will automatically select a large aperture (such as f/ 1.4, f/2.8, etc.). The value of f/ is small, but the actual aperture diameter is large), which makes the background of your photo blurred except the target (so-called shallow depth of field) to highlight the portrait theme.

Night portrait mode-

The night mode is mainly to let you shoot portraits in a dim environment. This mode will slow down the shutter speed of the camera and make a long exposure in the dark to take pictures of objects and background details. This mode also uses a flash to illuminate the foreground when a slow shutter is used. Generally speaking, this mode is best used with tripod, otherwise you will get works with clear foreground but blurred background.

Automatic mode-

It's fully automatic! Everything is automatic, that is, novice mode. Try not to use it when learning photography.

Other shooting modes include:

Panoramic mode: multiple photos taken continuously will be merged into a panoramic view.

Snow scene mode: help you cope with the situation that metering errors are easy to occur in the snow.

Fireworks mode: help you cope with difficult fireworks scenes.

Child/pet mode: allows you to focus on shooting high-speed moving objects. This mode will speed up the camera shutter speed.

Underwater mode: correct color error and image distortion when shooting underwater.

Beach mode: Like snow mode, it allows you to shoot when there is enough light and the camera has a chance to measure the wrong light.

Indoor mode: the shutter speed will be adjusted and the white balance will be changed to match the indoor environment.

Plant mode: it will strengthen the saturation of photos and make the colors of photos more vivid and full.

Preset scene mode is of little significance to learning photography. Don't let the rules limit your creativity and ideas. Think about it yourself and put the effect in your head.
