What are the skills of using digital cameras?

1. Setting parameters: In the daily shooting process, you need to set some basic parameters of the camera in advance. In the setting menu of digital cameras, there are generally a variety of setting parameters, including image resolution, focusing mode, aperture, shutter and so on. The most important thing for beginners to use digital cameras is to set the image resolution. Most digital cameras offer a variety of resolution options. Because digital cameras have a variety of parameter settings, you should check the camera setting menu before each shooting to confirm whether the resolution, shutter and other parameter settings are correct. Otherwise, the photos taken may not achieve the expected effect.

2. Lock the subject: When shooting with a digital camera, in order to get better results, you should try to choose the resolution to make the subject full of frames. Like traditional cameras, digital cameras mainly consider framing, composition and focusing when shooting, and all other basic principles of photography are equally applicable. However, if there is only one theme, you should fill it with frames. Framing is a good choice for composition when shooting. Putting the subject in the viewfinder can effectively shoot the subject.

3. Correct use of lighting and flash: Most digital cameras are equipped with built-in flash, which generally has four levels: flash, no flash, red-eye flash and automatic flash. The automatic flash file determines whether it is necessary to fill the light with a flash according to the camera's detection of the illumination of the object. Flash is not as easy to control as other light sources, and the light emitted by flash is easily reflected by nearby objects, forming uneven spots on photos. Therefore, the use of flash is very likely to destroy the perfection of the photo. When shooting indoors, you should try to turn off the flash and provide enough lighting.

4. Adjust exposure compensation: the digital camera adjusts the exposure of the shooting scene according to photometry. However, due to the uneven brightness distribution of the photographic subject, there may be a phenomenon that people are underexposed due to, for example, backlight illumination of the photographic subject in front of a bright background. At this time, exposure compensation can be used to solve this kind of problem. Cameras with exposure compensation can usually be adjusted by +2,+1, 0,-1, -2, etc. If the subject is underexposed, use positive compensation to increase the exposure and use negative compensation to reduce the exposure.

The above is an introduction to the skills of using digital cameras. I hope it helps you.
