How to use digital camera to take pictures correctly

Single-lens reflex camera has entered the era of autofocus. For ordinary photographers, the performance and usage of some high-end cameras are much simpler. In this way, as long as we choose a good scene, construct a good picture and gently press the shutter, we can complete a more difficult shooting job.

Of course, this kind of camera is rare in the hands of some photographers, so we should learn the basic usage of some basic types of cameras.

? How to use digital camera correctly? The camera should be placed in the right position.

1 eye level

When shooting, stand upright, lift the camera to the eye position and shoot along the horizontal direction, which is also called prone shooting.

This method is used the most, the picture is natural, and the viewer has no strange feeling. In addition, because of the horizontal angle photography, the building has no sense of inclination, giving people a sense of stability.

2 waist flat position

Standing at the height of the waist and shooting along the horizontal direction is called waist level. This is a common photographic method for people in the heyday of binocular reflex camera to look at the focal plane from above. Now, bending the knee and waist position have the same meaning.

This height is very useful for photographing children. If you look down at the height of an adult while standing, the child's head will be exaggerated and an abnormal picture will be obtained. Using waist photography, the child reflects normal.

3 low position

Refers to the camera close to the ground, as far as possible in the horizontal direction aimed at the subject of photography.

The objective objects that people see from habits, such as from the height of the ground, will have a refreshing feeling.

? Correct use of shutter

1 When using the shutter, the first thing we should pay attention to is that the shutter speed must be adjusted to a fixed gear, and it cannot be used between two gears like an aperture.

Single-lens reflex cameras are all wound and the shutter is wound at the same time. So when winding the film, you must pull the wrench to the end before you can press the shutter. Some cameras (Nikon FM2) have a quick door lock function after the wrench is reset, so only when the wrench is turned to the working angle can the shutter be pressed.

Cameras with separate clockwork and shutter clockwork (such as Seagull 4A camera, which reels film with a crank) need to tighten the shutter separately, so that it can be exposed under pressure. When pressing the shutter, the arm muscles should be kept relaxed and not shaken. When using the central shutter (such as the camera of Seagull 4A), the speed must be adjusted first, and then the shutter must be tightened. This procedure must not be reversed.

After shooting, release the shutter and set it to position B to prevent the shutter mechanism from being damaged due to long-term stress.

Correct adjustment of aperture

1 During shooting, when we adjust the aperture, we should dial it step by step. When adjusting the aperture, every time you listen? Cut? Sound, that is, the correct gear of an aperture. Be careful not to rotate the aperture adjusting ring quickly and repeatedly, even if it is a non-stagnant aperture, it should be gently turned.

When using the aperture, you don't need to be limited by the gear, that is, you can use it by adjusting the aperture to between f/8 and f/ 1 1.

After shooting, the aperture should be opened to the maximum to prevent aperture fatigue and help extend the service life of the camera.

Correct use of automatic exposure camera

1 Automatic exposure cameras have different automatic exposure modes (also called exposure modes). Now some cameras can even provide as many as 15 exposure modes. There are three common automatic exposure cameras: aperture priority, shutter priority and standard procedure.

The use method of automatic exposure camera is basically the same as that of ordinary camera. Just before shooting, adjust the aperture or shutter speed according to your camera automatic mode before shooting.

Correct use of selfie

1 Different types of cameras have different automatic shooting methods. Seagull 4 series camera, first put the self-timer button on the board, and then press the shutter button to realize self-timer.

Seagull DF- 1 camera, pull the self-timer button, you don't have to press the shutter button, just press the button next to the self-timer to achieve self-timer. For Yasika FX-7 camera, only by tightening the shutter first, then pulling the self-timer button, and then pressing the shutter can self-timer be realized.

The average selfie takes about 10 second, so you need to master the duration when using it to avoid being in a hurry.
