How to take clear photos?

Have you ever taken such a photo: your photo was previewed clearly in the camera, only to find that once uploaded to your monitor, it was not as clear as you thought? Here are some tips to help you get a clearer image.

Choose the right aperture

We often read that opening the width of the lens should be the best way, because it can let the maximum light into the camera and create a blurred background. However, this is not always the case, and you may want to avoid opening the lens as much as possible. If the camera is turned on to F.

/1.4, please stop at f/

2.8。 If your lens is wide open, you may risk focusing only on some objects (for example, their eyes will focus, but the rest of their faces will be slightly blurred). Or, if you shoot more than one person, the person your camera focuses on will be sharp, while the other person (or others) will not. Just a few steps, adjust the aperture, let enough light enter the camera, and create a blurred background.

Prevent camera shake

If you move the camera during shooting, you will slightly blur the subject. This is often referred to as camera blur or camera shake. If there is no tripod to shoot, be sure to press the shutter gently. Even if your hand remains steady, if you press the shutter too fast, you can create a slight camera shake, which won't cause blur until you view or print the image. If you have unstable hands like me, you may want to try using a tripod. If I am excited, happy or nervous, my hands will always shake anyway! So, I try to use a tripod. It may seem impractical to use a tripod at first, but the more you use it, the more comfortable it is.

Select the correct shutter speed.

You need to adjust the shutter speed according to your subject. If your theme moves fast, you need a faster shutter speed. However, if you are taking a portrait, or the object moves very little, you can leave at a slower shutter speed.

The focal length is also related to the shutter speed of your lens. There is a (very) general rule of thumb that associates the focal length with the lowest shutter speed to avoid camera shake. Equation: Minimum shutter speed = 1

/Focal length (in millimeters). So, if you have an 80 mm lens, your minimum shutter speed will be 1/80 seconds. Or, if you have a 50 mm lens, the minimum value will be 1/50 seconds. This is just a general rule of thumb. The lowest shutter speed you can achieve depends largely on the stability of your hand. As I said before, when I am excited (always excited at the beginning), my hands are unstable, so I usually multiply my focal length by 4, which is my lowest shutter speed. So, if I shoot with a 50 mm lens, 50

X 4 = 200, then the lowest shutter speed is 1/200 to avoid camera shake.

The original image is processed in later software.

If you shoot with RAW, please import the image into Lightroom or camera.

After Raw, the image will look more blurred than the image on the LCD screen. At this time, if you use Lightroom, you need to adjust the sharpness and/or sharpness in post-processing.
