Setting and shooting skills of SLR camera

What are the settings and skills for beginners of SLR cameras? Below, I sorted out the necessary SLR photography skills and SLR camera setting knowledge for beginners. Welcome to read the reference!

Settings of SLR camera

I. Settings

1, optimize calibration

General purpose? Standard? Yes, someone suggested? Standard? Clarity +3, contrast+1, saturation+1, which one can take a photo? Sharper? It is suggested that the sharpness should be adjusted to +4 for portrait shooting and +7 for landscape shooting.

2, D- lighting

It is suggested to use high dynamic HDR in high light ratio environment, that is, take multiple photos according to different exposures and then synthesize them. The effect is much better, but there may be color distortion.

3. M file

If you are traveling or want to take photos at any time, try not to use M file, but use A file instead, because A file has aperture priority, you only need to adjust the aperture, and the machine will automatically adjust the shutter speed to achieve Ev balance, so that your photos rarely appear underexposed.

4. Measurement

Under normal circumstances, it is enough to use the shooting range or center to evaluate photometry during the day, and it is best to use spot photometry at night.

5、ISO

The larger this value, the faster the shutter, the faster the ISO doubles and the shutter doubles. But the noise will increase, and there is no big problem at 400 during the day, indoors 1600- or above, and at 6400 at night. Noise control is still very good!

6. Hole

The larger this value, the smaller the aperture, so the larger the aperture, indicating that more light can reach cmos and a faster shutter can be obtained. Double the aperture and the shutter will be twice as fast. At the same time, a large aperture will get a shallow depth of field, which means that the background is more blurred. In addition, the definition of aperture is calculated on the basis that the human eye is 1 0. Generally speaking, when shooting scenery, the aperture should be between f8-f 1 1, and the close-up should be around f4.

7.focal length

The smaller the focal length, the larger the scene, and vice versa. At the same time, with the increase of focal length, the smaller the depth of field, the easier it is to blur the background.

Second, skills.

1, take something that is still very small

Flowers, birds and insects: A gear, aperture f5, 6 or below, focal length above 50. Try to shoot the blurred background within 1m! Iso100 if the light is good; If the light is not good, iso is better within 400.

Step 2 shoot and kill

Basically, a larger aperture (within f5 and 6) and a focal length of more than 50mm are used. The shooting distance depends on the whole body, chest circumference and large photos, resulting in blurred background. Use a file! Good light, iso 100, poor light, within iso400.

Step 3 take pictures

First gear, use appropriate aperture, above f8, and the focal length is arbitrary, but generally the wide-angle end is distorted, so use it as appropriate.

Step 4 watch the night scene

Install tripod, M gear, custom white balance or incandescent lamp, aperture above f8, and small aperture can make light show starlight effect; Within iso200, making the exposure time as long as possible can make some people who have no intention of walking disappear from the picture, leaving no trace and purifying the scene.

Step 5 set off fireworks

By using the cable, B shutter and long exposure, the effect of overlapping multiple fireworks can be photographed.

6. Take pictures of running things

In the case of good light: first gear, the aperture size should be treated as appropriate; A large depth of field effect can be obtained with an aperture above f8, and a shallow depth of field effect can be obtained with a small aperture.

If you want to shoot a very dynamic effect, you can use the S file, and the shutter is about 1/30. When you press the shutter, the lens will chase the object at a suitable speed, which will produce a very dynamic effect.

Poor lighting: only handle it as appropriate, plus use chasing light.

7. Tap the running water or fountain.

Using S-file, the shutter speed is about 1/50, you can shoot the effect of satin, and using a faster shutter, you can shoot the effect of water droplets!

8. The portrait was taken at night

On the tripod, adjust the white balance, automatic or custom white balance; iso 100-400； First gear, the aperture is around f8, adopting slow synchronous flash and Hou Lian flash mode; At this time, the flash will flash twice, press the shutter to flash once, and it will flash again before the exposure is over, so people should not leave before flashing twice. This can make the characters clear and the background neon beautiful, so that the background will not be underexposed or too dark.

9, aperture priority skills:

1) Whatever you shoot, don't shoot with the maximum aperture unless you want to keep the shutter safe.

2) Please try to use F8 when shooting scenery? The aperture of F 1 1

3) The maximum aperture can be reduced 1? Secondary aperture.

4) The safety shutter should be controlled above the reciprocal of the focal length as far as possible, and the wide-angle shutter should be greater than 1/30 seconds. If the shutter is insufficient, please increase the aperture or ISO.

10, measurement mode:

1) Don't point to the sky, don't point to the darkest place, and grab the middle value.

2) According to the subject matter you are shooting, make good use of metering modes (weighing metering, spot metering and central key metering).

3) If you are not sure about metering, please expose and lock the gray things around you before shooting.

4) Try not to measure light for white or black objects, otherwise please remember to subtract EV from black and add EV to white.

EV is exposure compensation, and exposure compensation is also an exposure control method, which is generally common in? 2-3EV, if the ambient light source is dark, you can increase the exposure value (such as+1EV, +2EV) to highlight the clarity of the picture.

When the shooting environment is dark and it is necessary to increase the brightness, and the flash can't work, exposure compensation can be carried out to increase the exposure appropriately. When making exposure compensation, if the photo is too dark, the EV value should be increased. Every time the EV value is increased, it is 1, 0, which is equivalent to doubling the light input. If the photo is too bright, the EV value should be reduced. Every time the EV value is reduced, it is equivalent to doubling the amount of light entering.

When the photographed white object looks gray or not white enough in the photo, the exposure should be increased. Simply put? The whiter the more? This seems to run counter to the basic principles and habits of exposure, but it is not. This is because the camera's photometry often focuses on the central subject, and the white subject will make the camera mistakenly think that the environment is very bright, so it is underexposed, which is also a common problem that most beginners are prone to make.

Because the shutter time or aperture size of the camera is limited, it is impossible to reach the adjustment range of 2EV all the time, so exposure compensation is not omnipotent, and it is still possible to underexpose in too dark environment. At this time, it is necessary to consider matching the flash or increasing the ISO sensitivity of the camera to improve the brightness of the picture. Generally speaking, the smaller the brightness contrast of the scene, the more accurate the exposure, otherwise the deviation will increase.

In a word, the adjustment of exposure compensation is determined by experience and sensitivity to color. Users must compare the image quality, sharpness, reduction and noise under different exposure compensation in order to take the best photos.

1 1. There is a basic principle. If special advanced sensors are not selected, all noise reduction realized by software is at the expense of details.

It's really incomprehensible to see someone shooting with ISO= 12800 on a sunny day in broad daylight. There is no doubt that the lower the sensitivity, the better the image quality. When the speed and aperture allow, try to use low sensitivity, which is the basic requirement for taking good photos. Although D5 100 is the most powerful in the entry-level SLR, don't set it too high easily. There are only two situations where it is reasonable to use a high sensitivity setting. One is to shoot the night scene by hand, and the other is to shoot the motion in the dark light.

Pay special attention to the image quality, and generally use ISO 100? 400, ISO 100, 200,400 have little difference in image quality; In order to prevent sticking, ISO800 is generally used. 3200; O 64 thousand can be used as a last resort. ф o128000 Compared with 64000, the sudden change of painting is the best and never used.

12. When using a standard lens, pay attention to the selection of focal length and aperture.

18-55 lens has two obvious disadvantages: the sharpness of the wide-angle end is poor when the aperture is large, and the sharpness of the telephoto end is good, but it is worse than that of the medium-focus section. Try not to use both ends when using, but because the wide angle is only 18mm, and it has to be used, the aperture should be reduced when the focal length is 18mm, generally above F8, and the telephoto end of 55mm should be avoided as far as possible, and 40mm is enough.

There is a wise saying? F8 has no dog head. By the way, 18- 105mm lens. 18- 105 lens is much sharper than 18-55 lens, which is worth choosing, but the biggest problem is that the wide-angle distortion is too large, so it is best to shoot portraits and natural scenery. When shooting buildings, it is best to use a focal length of about 24mm (minimum distortion). The pincushion distortion at the telephoto end of the lens is relatively inconspicuous and can be used safely.
