What shooting modes do digital cameras have?

Whether traveling or artistic shooting, digital cameras will bring great convenience. Maybe everyone knows something about digital cameras, so how can we take photos with technical content? The following are the shooting techniques I carefully recommend for everyone, hoping to help you.

Shooting mode 1, portrait mode

Usage: This mode is mainly used to take photos of people, such as ID photos. Digital cameras will adjust the aperture to the maximum to produce the effect of shallow depth of field. However, some cameras also use tones, contrast or softening effects that can show a stronger skin color effect to highlight the subject of the portrait.

Tip: In this shooting environment, everyone only needs to pay attention to the problem of framing and composition. If you shoot indoors and use the flash, you should turn on the red-eye prevention function of the digital camera. In addition, the camera should keep a distance from the target, and it is best to zoom in on the distant target.

2. Horizontal mode

Usage: When shooting scenic spots, the digital camera will adjust the aperture to the minimum to increase the depth of field, and the focal length will become infinite, so that the photos can get the clearest effect.

Tip: there are not many places to pay attention to. You just need to pay attention to the ambient light, such as not letting the sun shine directly on the camera. In sunset and other environments, you may have to manually adjust the white balance yourself.

3. Panoramic mode

How to use: When shooting ultra-wide pictures (such as mountains and seas), the digital camera will leave an extra position after each photo to help the photographer take multiple landscape photos in succession, and then form an ultra-wide landscape photo.

Tip: When shooting, you need to use some obvious places (such as buildings) as connection signs to make it easier to combine when shooting the next photo. It is recommended that you shoot with a tripod to ensure the stability and accurate alignment of the picture.

4, night scene mode

Usage: There are generally two night scene modes. The former uses the shutter of110 seconds, which may lead to underexposure. The latter uses a shutter exposure time of several seconds to ensure that the photo is fully exposed and the photo will be brighter. Both are shot with a small aperture, and the flash will be turned off.

Skills: First of all, use a tripod to shoot the night scene; In addition, it is best to use the timer delay mode to trigger the shutter, because it may move to the camera if you press it by hand.

5, portrait mode at night

Usage: To photograph people at night (such as those who have been to the Lantern Festival), digital cameras usually use a shutter of a few seconds to110 seconds to photograph distant scenes, and use a flash to illuminate the main body of people in the foreground. The flash is usually triggered before it is turned off.

Tip: It is best to use a tripod and pay attention to the distance between the target and the flash to avoid the problem that the foreground target is too bright.

6, lighting mode

Usage: This mode is similar to night scene mode, and the shutter will close after a few seconds to get enough exposure (just like the B door of a film camera).

Skills: The shooting skills are the same as those in night mode.

7. Backlight mode

Usage: used in some backlight environments, that is, there is strong light behind the main body. The camera will use focused photometry to improve the exposure accuracy and increase the EV value to avoid the subject being too dark. Some cameras also use flash to fill the light.

Tip: First, focus on the subject and hold down the shutter for half a minute, then move the camera to make a composition elsewhere. At the same time, the photographer should pay attention to the light source, and if he encounters too strong light, he should change his position to shoot.

8. Dynamic mode

Purpose: In order to shoot high-speed moving objects, digital cameras will adjust the shutter speed faster (1/500 seconds) or increase the ISO sensitivity.

Tip: If the light source is insufficient when shooting, you may not be able to lock the high-speed moving image, so it is best to use this mode in the sun.

9. Macro mode

Usage: used to shoot delicate targets such as flowers and insects. Can I use a digital camera? Macro? Focus, turn off the flash.

Tip: In macro shooting mode, pay attention to the distance between the target and the digital camera at least to the macro shooting distance indicated in the camera manual (for example, 4cm), otherwise the problem of focusing will occur. And everyone should pay attention to the light source, and the target should not be too dark. It's best to shoot with a tripod.

Shooting problem 1. The camera is not moving.

1. The power is not turned on. Press the power button to turn on the power.

2. The battery polarity is wrong. Install the battery correctly.

3. The battery is dead. Update the battery.

4. The battery is temporarily out of order. Please keep the battery warm when using; In the process of taking pictures, the battery is temporarily not used.

5. The card cover has been opened. Close the card cover.

Second, the camera turns off automatically.

1. If the digital camera suddenly shuts down automatically, your first thought should be that the battery is low-digital cameras are big consumers of electricity and often shut down because of the low battery. Replace the battery.

2. If the digital camera still can't be turned on after replacing the battery, you find that the camera is hot, because you have been using the camera continuously for too long, which leads to the camera overheating and automatic shutdown. Stop using it and wait for it to cool.

Third, you can't take pictures by pressing the shutter button.

1. The photo just taken is being written into the memory card. At this time, release the shutter key until the green indicator light stops flashing and the LCD screen disappears.

2. The memory card is full. Replace the memory card, delete unnecessary photos or transfer all photo data to a personal computer and delete them.

3. The battery is exhausted when taking photos or writing memory cards. Update the battery and take a new photo.

4. The subject is not in the effective working range of the camera or it is difficult to lock it by automatic acquisition. Refer to the effective working range of standard mode and close-up mode or refer to the autofocus section.

Fourth, the camera can't recognize the memory card.

1. uses a memory card that is incompatible with a digital camera. Different digital cameras use different memory cards. In most digital cameras, multiple memory cards cannot be used. The solution is to replace your digital camera with all the memory cards.

2. If the memory card chip is damaged, find a manufacturer to replace the memory card.

3. The image file in the memory card is damaged. The reason for this phenomenon is that the memory card is taken out when shooting, or the digital camera is suddenly turned off because of serious power shortage. If the problem persists after reinserting or reconnecting the memory card, please format the memory card.

Precautions 1. There are many points in the photo taken.

This is what we call noise in photos. This situation often occurs in the shooting of night scenes, which is caused by high sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity value, the rougher the image quality, the lower the sensitivity value and the finer the picture. But high sensitivity means high sensitivity to light, so we often choose high sensitivity when shooting in low light. Then, if the noise reduction system of the camera itself is not good, it will cause noise on the canvas. To avoid this situation, we need to artificially reduce the sensitivity, and then use a relatively long exposure time to compensate for the entry of light, so that the photos will have a sense of layering and the quality will be guaranteed. Of course, the premise is that you need to bring a tripod.

Second, the photos are dark and grainy images appear.

Although the highest resolution is used, the photos are very dark and grainy images appear, which is usually caused by insufficient light. When taking photos with a digital camera, the light has the greatest influence on the photos. The sensitivity of most digital cameras is equivalent to SIO 100 film. Therefore, insufficient light will lead to the darkening of photos and the appearance of granular images. If the camera has a flash, it can be used not only for indoor photography, but also for outdoor photography of objects in the shadows.

Third, the main picture in the photo is small.

It is a common phenomenon in amateur photography that the main picture is small and the background picture is large. As a novice photographer, the subject is often ignored. Photos taken with a digital camera can be edited, so the quality of the original image is very important. Try to make the picture full of the main body, and don't waste precious pixels on the background picture that needs secondary editing or trimming.

Fourth, the photos printed with special photographic paper are not clear.
