What are the entry-level SLR cameras that can shoot stars?

1. Entry SLR capable of shooting starry sky: If it is a low-end model, you can choose Nikon d3200+ 18- 105 or D5100+18 =105 and Canon 600d+. If you want a better fuselage, you can choose Nikon d7000+ 18- 105 and Canon 60d+ 18- 135.

In fact, shooting the starry sky does not require many high-end machines, and the low-end entry-level SLR can meet it. Generally speaking, it is easier to show charm with a wide-angle lens when shooting stars. Because it is shot at night, the light is very dark and the exposure time is long, so you must have a tripod. Pay attention to stay away from the city lights and avoid light pollution when shooting, so as to shoot a clean starry sky. Use small aperture, manually focus to infinity, use tripod and cable to release, and use exposure delay if necessary.

2, shooting method reference:

(1) shooting location. In many places in China, especially in big cities, there are few stars visible to the naked eye, let alone the Milky Way. So if you want to shoot the starry sky, you must go to the wilderness without light pollution at all. Of course, taking pictures in the wild in the middle of the night is a great psychological challenge.

(2) shooting equipment. To have a wide-angle lens with a large aperture, it is best to shoot with a SLR or Sony's advanced micro-lens. What is important is the excellent high sensitivity of the fuselage, that is, ISO capability; Of course, the larger the aperture, the better, because the external environment is very dark, so the exposure time is long and the amount of light must be enough; The wider the angle, the better. The wider the angle, the wider the feeling.

(3) shooting parameters. M file, suggested parameters: aperture f2.8, shutter 15-20 seconds, sensitivity ISO 1600-6400.

(4) focusing method. Turn on the camera's live view function LV, zoom in to 10 times, then see if the stars are in focus, then adjust the exposure parameters, take two shots, and then adjust the sensitivity until you are satisfied.

3. Introduction to SLR

Single lens reflex camera (SLR camera), also known as SLR camera. Refers to a camera that uses a single lens, through which light shines on the reflector and takes a view through reflection.

The so-called "single lens" means that the photographic exposure light path and the framing light path share a lens, unlike the paraxial camera or the double-reflex camera, the framing light path has an independent lens. "Reflection" means that a plane mirror in the camera separates the two light paths: when the mirror falls during framing, it reflects the light of the lens to the pentaprism and then to the framing window; When shooting, lift the reflector quickly, and the light can shine on the film or photosensitive element CMOS or CCD.
