Simple operation method of camera.

Some using skills and feelings of Fuji F85 and Fuji F200.

Speaking of Fuji's digital cameras, of course, Fuji F85 and Fuji F200 are the two main cameras of Fuji. Judging from the various characteristics of the cameras, the functions and gears of the two cameras are very similar. Fuji F85 has more high-definition camera and telephoto functions. Judging from this function, the extra high-definition camera function is actually the chicken rib that Fuji has been criticized. There is not much practical value. On the contrary, I feel that Fuji F200 has few functions, but its image quality is comparable to any high-end digital camera on the market, such as Panasonic LX3 and Canon G 1 1. Before it's too late, let's go straight to the topic of shooting skills.

Gear selection: Most people buy digital cameras and love its automatic gear shooting function. Admittedly, this automatic shooting function is quite practical, but then there was a problem. Automatic transmission is not omnipotent, and sometimes it is difficult to make appropriate changes with the choice of environment. For example, when shooting in sunny automatic mode, the camera sometimes automatically adjusts the ISO to about 400 according to the environmental settings, which obviously leads to unreasonable automatic adjustment. Let's analyze it from each gear.

EXR files: mainly divided into EXR automatic, resolution priority, high ISO& etc. The noise is low, D gear is preferred, EXR automatic gear is suitable for lazy people, ISO is an automatic value in this gear, which changes according to environmental changes. The resolution priority file compares the shooting of some objects or object details, with high ISO &；; Low noise and D file priority are suitable for night scenes or bright scenes. Personally speaking, EXR equipment has little effect on friends who need to shoot PP well, so you can consider using this equipment as little as possible.

Automatic file: Automatic file is an automatic file, which is the same as EXR automatic function of EXR file, so I won't introduce it here!

Natural light file: you can take two photos with and without light at a time, basically none, which can be used as a reference for analyzing pictures.

SP file: a scene mode file, which is used to select the appropriate scene mode according to the set scenes such as scenes, movements, portraits and night scenes. For example, night scene mode can choose night scene, and scenery can choose scenery. SP files are mainly suitable for shooting night scenes and fireworks scenes.

Animation file: it is mainly responsible for the shooting of video recording function, which is poor in function and unable to focus when shooting, so this function is of little use in the camera.

M-file: Manual file, with a wide range of uses, suitable for shooting various scenes. Different parameters can be set according to different environments. Aperture and shutter have a set of qualitative values in the camera, so when using M file, first press the button like "trash can", and something like a ruler will appear at the bottom of the camera screen. When the aperture and shutter are constantly adjusted, the point above the scale will change differently. When the shutter and shutter are adjusted to the appropriate position, the point above the scale will be in the center of the scale. This set of shutter and aperture data is suitable for this environment. When using M gear, it is especially necessary to be careful not to shake hands. Any shaking will lead to blurred pictures, so M file is suitable for old birds who are skilled in using cameras.

P file: mainly divided into aperture priority and program automatic exposure. Aperture priority is to manually define the aperture size, and then use the camera's metering to obtain the corresponding shutter value. The camera is represented by "P file", which is also the combination of the speed and aperture determined by the camera according to the light conditions and the exposure curve designed in the camera. This gear is suitable for most people, and can accurately and easily grasp the environment and shoot objects. Personally, I use the P file the most. In terms of speed and image quality, it is convenient to adjust PP, so it is highly recommended to use P file.

Selection of composition: Shooting should not only have good technology, but also have a good feeling. Composition is extremely important in photography, and good composition directly affects the quality of PP obtained. Therefore, learning the composition well can produce a good PP.

Here are some common composition methods.

1, balanced composition

Give people a sense of satisfaction, perfect picture structure, clever arrangement and balanced correspondence. It is often used for moonlit nights, water, night scenes, news and other topics.

2. Symmetric synthesis

Its characteristics are balance, stability and relativity.

Disadvantages: dull, lack of change. It is often used to represent symmetrical objects, buildings and objects with special styles.

3. Changing composition

Deliberately arranged scenery in a corner or a side can give people thinking and imagination, leaving room for further judgment. Full of charm and interest. Often used in small landscapes, sports, artistic photography, humorous photos, etc.

4. Diagonal composition

Arranging the subject on the diagonal can effectively use the length of the diagonal of the picture, and at the same time, it can also make the companion have a direct relationship with the subject. Dynamic and lively, it is easy to produce the convergence trend of lines, attract people's attention, and achieve the effect of highlighting the subject (such as spotlight illuminating the subject).

5, reticle composition

The scene is in the form of diagonal cross layout, and the cross point of the scene can be inside or outside the picture. The former is similar to cross composition, and the latter is similar to diagonal composition, which can make full use of screen space and lead the line of sight to the center of the cross or to the outside of the screen. It is lively, relaxed and implicit.

6. Elliptical composition

It can form a strong sense of wholeness and produce visual effects such as rotation, movement and contraction. It is often used to express that it does not need special emphasis, but focuses on the picture content of the scene or the main body of the rendering atmosphere.

7.x-shaped composition

Lines and light and shade are arranged in an X-shape, which has a strong sense of perspective and is conducive to guiding people's sight to move from the periphery to the center, or the scenery has the characteristics of gradually enlarging from the center to the periphery. Often used in architecture, bridges, highways, fields and other themes.

8. Composition of scores

Divide the picture left and right or up and down in two, forming a left and right echo or up and down echo, and the performance space is relatively broad. Among them, half of the picture is the subject and the other half is the partner. Often used to express people, sports, animals, architecture and other themes.

9, sketch composition

By means of close-ups and ideas, it is a way of composition to turn a small scene that is not surprising into a humorous picture full of interest and profound meaning. It is characterized by free imagination and eclecticism. There are no certain rules in this composition.

10, compact structure

Enlarge the main body of the scene in the form of close-up to make it full of pictures, compact, delicate and microscopic. Often used for portraits, micrographs or showing local details. Depicting a character's face vividly and unforgettable.

1 1, Jiugongge composition

Place the subject or important scenery at the intersection of Jiugongge. The four intersections of the word "well" are the best positions of the main body. Generally speaking, the intersection on the upper right is the most ideal, followed by the intersection on the lower right. But it is not static. This composition format is more in line with people's visual habits, making the subject naturally become the visual center, with the characteristics of highlighting the subject and making the picture tend to be balanced.

12, composed of horizontal lines.

It has the characteristics of calmness, tranquility, comfort and stability. It is often used to express calm lake surface, rippling lake water, endless plain, vast and flat Yuan Ye, endless grassland in Liao country, etc.

13, vertical composition

Can fully show the height and depth of the scene. It is often used to show pictures composed of vertical lines such as towering trees, steep rocks, waterfalls and skyscrapers.

14, diagonal composition

It can be divided into vertical oblique vertical line and horizontal oblique horizontal line. Sports, maneuvers, inclinations, bumps, imbalances, tensions, dangers, thousands of miles away and other scenes are often shown. Some pictures use diagonal lines to point out specific objects and play a fixed guiding role.

15, triangle composition

Three visual centers are the main positions of the scene, and sometimes the geometric composition of three points into a plane arranges the position of the scene to form a stable triangle. This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle. Among them, oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced and flexible.

16, cross synthesis

The change of scenery, tone or color on the screen is formed by orthogonal composition. This composition can leave more space, so it can accommodate more backgrounds and foil bodies, so that the viewer's eyes can naturally focus on the cross. It is mostly used to arrange and combine stable objects, or to shoot regular moving objects.

17, s component

The scenery on the screen is in the form of S-shaped curve composition, which has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic and producing a beautiful, elegant and harmonious feeling. When it is necessary to express the subject in the form of curve, we should first think of S-shaped composition. Commonly used in rivers, streams, winding paths, paths, etc.

18, l-shaped composition

Enclose and frame the main body that needs to be emphasized with L-shaped lines or color blocks to highlight the theme. L-shape is like a half-enclosure, which can be a straight L-shape or an inverted L-shape. It can focus people's attention on the enclosure, make the subject stand out and make the theme clear. Often used in pictures with certain rules and lines.

19, centripetal composition

The main body is in the center, and the surrounding scenery is in the form of composition concentrated towards the center, which can strongly lead people's eyes to the center of the main body and play a role in gathering. It has the distinct characteristics of highlighting the subject, but sometimes it will also produce the feeling of oppression and embarrassment.

20, radial composition

Scenery takes the subject as the core and spreads radiation around, which can focus people's attention on the subject, and then has the functions of opening, stretching and spreading. It is often used in situations where the subject needs to be prominent and the scene is complex, and it is also used to make people or scenery produce special effects in complex situations.

How to use it: 1 When using Fuji F200 or Fuji F85, we will find that when shooting macro, the subject is not prominent enough and the subject is too dark, so we need to use flash appropriately. When shooting away from the subject, we can reasonably highlight the subject and blacken everything around the subject, which can get a good shooting effect. Secondly, in the image stabilizer, using tripod as far as possible, reasonable body posture and holding the camera with reasonable gestures can effectively prevent jitter. Thirdly, as far as composition is concerned, I try as many methods as possible. I mainly use three-dimensional composition, symmetrical composition, parallel and vertical composition. Three-dimensional composition is suitable for various occasions, and exposure compensation is used reasonably to make the picture brighter. Fourth, when choosing a shooting scene, try to shoot a scene with a relatively clean and harmonious picture to avoid disorderly composition. 5. Practice more, learn more and see more. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. If you want to improve your shooting skills, you must practice and learn others' shooting skills seriously, and learn the essence of others' shooting by watching others' PP, so as to improve your shooting ability.
