What are the skills of using Panasonic lx5?

Panasonic lx5 is the follow-up model of legendary LX3. Lx3 has created the myth that the price will not fall within two years after listing, which shows its strength. Let me specifically talk about the use skills of Panasonic lx5.

What are the skills of using Panasonic lx5?

Usage Skills of Panasonic lx5: CA Mode

1 and Panasonic lx5' s CA model mainly take care of entry-level users. It allows ordinary users to adjust the brightness of the image or blur the background. When in use, just turn the mode dial to "CA" mode.

2. In the "CA" mode, if no adjustment is made, Panasonic lx5 will basically be handled according to the situation of P file.

3. Sometimes the camera's judgment is not necessarily based on human will. At this point, you can adjust the blur degree of the background or the intensity and darkness of exposure through the navigation buttons. Adjusting the degree of background blur is directly reflected in the change of aperture size, and adjusting the intensity and darkness of exposure is reflected in exposure compensation.

Usage Skills of Panasonic lx5: Key Points

1. When we use Panasonic lx5 for the first time, we often don't know how to use multiple focus points on the view frame, so that the shot is often not above the focus point, which requires us to master the setting method of focus point.

2. To adjust the focus of Panasonic lx5, first press the zoom button in the upper right corner of the back of the fuselage when starting, which is also a focus selection button. Normally, the camera is set to automatically select the focus by default.

3. Press the SET button on Panasonic lx5 to switch to the state of manually selecting the focus. At this time, the focus is in the center. Press the left, right and up keys to freely select the desired focus.

4. Because Panasonic lx5 is an entry-level camera, the accuracy of center focusing is often higher than other focus points, so if it is not necessary, use center focusing.

Panasonic lx5 Usage Skills: Exposure

1. Compared with other brands of SLR cameras, Panasonic lx5 is relatively simple in menu setting. However, in the advanced settings, there are also some rarely used menu functions. Panasonic lx5 can't see ISO6400/ 12800 under normal settings, and it will only be displayed if it is set to ON in the custom menu.

2. It is worth noting that Panasonic lx5 is turned off by default in the long exposure function and can only be turned on when it needs to be used for night shooting.

3. The extended function of high ISO sensitivity is set as standard by default, which plays an important role in improving the noise level under high ISO. Highlight tone priority is a function that can enlarge the tone of highlight by about 1EV, which is extremely useful when the contrast of the subject is high and the highlight is easy to overflow.

4. The automatic brightness optimization function is also turned on by default, but Panasonic lx5 is conservative in the development of this function, and the processing effect will not be obvious.

Shooting mode

Generally, aperture priority A file and program P file are used.

Blurred background:

Large aperture+large zoom+shutter speed+point focus+macro+far background

There are three factors related to depth of field: aperture size, lens focal length and shooting distance. The larger the aperture, the smaller the depth of field (shallow), the longer the focal length and the closer the distance.

The specific method is to keep a distance of more than one meter from the main flower (I usually keep it around 1.5m), and the distance between the main flower and the background should be as far as possible. The camera is set to telephoto macro mode (that is, autofocus macro mode in ZS3 macro mode), and then the camera shoots with a zoom of 12X.

Portrait shooting:

The film mode is: S-smooth, zoom is 3-3.8 times, 72-9 1.2mm is equivalent to 35mm, large aperture, the best focal length of people is 85mm, bust, human vision, and human proximity.

In addition: first-class cameras take pictures, second-rate cameras shoot people, portrait shooting parameters drop, standard film, saturation drops by one or two, contrast drops by one, clarity drops by one, denoising adds two, ISO100-200,80 is too clear, and light measurement is done by human faces. It is set as a C 1 file for general use.

Select s mode

When the skin color is darker, the saturation can be reduced by one grid. Because most people in China have yellow skin and white skin, the clarity of this model can be added.

Avoid excessive head space, and the subject's eyes are at the position of 1/3 above the scene screen.

The law of the sun on the shoulder, shooting people outdoors, should turn your back on the sun. Don't let the sun shine directly on your face. If you shoot against the light, you can shoot with a flash (low brightness flash).

Shooting the profile of a character horizontally will give the subject a visual breathing space.

Telephoto gets a better portrait.

The key to getting the ideal background in portrait photography is "less is more", and removing the messy background.

Change the camera angle so that the subject faces a corner.

Cut off the top of the head, and the head of the subject is filled with the scene frame. Compact composition forms a very eye-catching effect, but don't cut your chin.

When taking a group photo, don't let everyone stand in a row, let everyone get together around some scenery, such as beds, trees, pillars and cars.

Life photo, so that the subject is a compact pyramid (triangle), two arms together, head together, one at the top of the scene, one at the bottom of the pyramid.

Don't irradiate the whole subject evenly, the microscopic side is more stereoscopic.

Don't count to 123, natural snapshot.

Window light, especially the light source of the north window, is one of the most beautiful lights in portraits. The subject and his shoulders face the window, so that the subject is away from the window 1.8m, so that the light is very soft and lingers around the subject, so that the subject is slightly behind the window and can touch the edge of the window light instead of direct sunlight.

Focus on your eyes.

Flower shooting:

Macro mode, wide angle, film mode: NAtural na.

Outdoor NA color is more comfortable, indoor NA blue light is particularly strong, not good-looking.

Available movie modes are: dynamic D.

Don't film it, spray some water and take a side shot.

Using zoom non-macro shooting can enlarge the flowers to almost fill the whole picture; The shooting focal length can be aimed at flowers instead of the background.

The ideal time to shoot is cloudy and cloudy. Shortly after the rain, shoot on sunny days, and try to choose morning and dusk.

Stir water:

Slow shutter speed, at least the shutter speed is slower than 1/4 seconds, and you can use enclosed shooting, for example, when the shutter speed is 2 seconds, 4 seconds and 6 seconds.

When shooting streams or waterfalls, you can add some decorations, such as maple leaves and flowers, to the picture.

Night shooting:

Wide angle, small aperture, slow shutter, three feet up.

Sky shooting:

The sky is bluer in the light,-1EV, with film.

Measurement mode:

Usually, multi-zone measurement is adopted, and macro measurement adopts single point measurement.

Auto focus mode:

23 o'clock is used to shoot scenery, and the common mode is one-point focusing, which is accurate in focusing and clear in image.

Taiwan Province LX3 user Kent big settings:

1. Movie mode-standard

2. Contrast+1

3. Clarity+1

4. Saturation-1

5. Noise reduction -2

The best aperture F5 of LX5.

The C 1 custom setting of LX5 cannot be saved:

Normally, you cannot save custom settings. That's probably what I did. Go directly to C 1 to set the parameters. After setting all the parameters, save, exit, shut down and restart, all the parameters you set will disappear, that is to say, you have not saved them to. This is the wrong setting method.

The correct setting method is: if you want to set C 1 as the aperture priority, first set the mode dial to A, set all the parameters, such as contrast, definition+1 and ISO maximum limit of 200, and then save the settings to the custom C 1 in the' Tools' menu, and then exit the shutdown and restart. This can be saved later.

Modify the settings in C 1 directly, and then save to custom C 1 in the Tools menu and overwrite it.

At this point, the parameters of file A and file C 1 are exactly the same. If you don't want to copy the parameters, just enter file A and modify the parameters.

Shooting skills:

In both cases, color overflow is easy to occur, and the layering is not clear. They highly admire flat shooting and suppressed shooting, and highly admire the use of side light and backlight. Mainly point side light.

It is dark indoors and bright outdoors. In this case, we should use the "spot metering" mode to measure the light on people's faces, and the contrast between light and shade of the whole picture will be improved.
