How to use a SLR under strong light

Under strong light, the light ratio is relatively large and the contrast is very large. It is difficult to obtain a balanced exposure photo using conventional methods. Some special methods need to be used, and a gradient filter or light reduction is selected according to the actual situation. Any filter can be used, but the simplest method is to narrow the aperture, increase the shutter speed, and use a flash to make up for the light in dark places.

The specific operation is as follows: turn on the flash, set the flash mode to TTL, set the camera to S mode (speed priority), set the shutter speed to the highest, most of which is 1/250 seconds (because the maximum synchronization of the flash of many cameras is The speed is 250th of a second), spot meter, then press AE-L on the brightest place to lock the exposure, then half-press the shutter on the subject to focus and shoot, you can basically get a relatively balanced exposure Of course, the light is ever-changing, so you need to make appropriate adjustments based on your specific situation. Try increasing or decreasing the compensation value of the flash to take more photos.
