1. Hold the camera in your hand

I believe that many people do not know how to hold the camera correctly. Most of the professional cameras we see are carried on people's shoulders. Those big guys are huge and it is not easy to handle them. However, the digital cameras in our hands are very easy to handle. Just take it in the palm of your hand. .

Do you think you can hold the camera with one hand? Wrong. Two hands are definitely more stable than one hand, even for portable cameras like DV. When we watch TV programs, if the screen keeps shaking all the time, it will turn off our appetite, and in severe cases, it can cause nausea, vomiting, etc.

In some cases, we need a very stable lens, so a tripod is essential. At the same time, it is absolutely not advisable to shoot while walking. Maybe you want to say: Isn’t it the same as walking and shooting in "Something to Say"? You have to remember, you are not Zhang Yimou.

2Zoom

Zoom is a basic function of the camera. Compared with most cameras, the zoom function of the camera is much more powerful, but it is by no means used for abuse.

I once saw some friends shooting DV. They used the DV as a telescope, zooming in and zooming out, with a long lens to the end. When they played it back in the end, they didn’t even know what they were doing. What to shoot. In fact, to put it simply, zooming in is to emphasize the scenery or characters we want to shoot, while zooming out is to show the full picture of the object or the scene of the story.

3 Key Points of Dynamic Photography

Sometimes we will find that the scenery or scene we want to shoot cannot be accommodated in one lens. Even if we zoom the lens to the farthest, it will not help. Then Mobile photography is a must. But the mobile shooting mentioned here is not the same thing as shooting while walking around as mentioned earlier.

When doing dynamic shooting, you should try not to move your feet, set up the camera, take the waist as the center of the circle, rotate the upper body in a circle, and scan the scenes and scenery to be shot into the lens one by one. If necessary, you can Scan back again, then stay still for a short period of time, then stop recording, change the camera angle and continue shooting.

4 Manually adjust exposure and focus

In many cases we need to manually adjust the exposure and focus when shooting. Although DV generally has automatic exposure and automatic focus, In most cases this is unreliable. For example, when photographing chorus members on stage in a theater, such a stage usually has strong lighting. If you just apply automatic exposure, you will most likely see only white, unless the skin of the person being photographed is dark enough.

At this time, you must adjust the exposure to manual mode, and then reduce it according to the light conditions until you get the required intensity. It also needs to be emphasized that there is usually a certain difference in the color and brightness of the image we see on the camera's LCD screen and the image finally collected on the computer, so we should pay attention to the difference between the two when collecting and shooting. Compare frequently, be aware of the images you see on the LCD, and clearly know what the final image collected looks like.
