Beginners are going to start with SLR. What homework do I need to do?

The camera is our weapon. We need to know the function buttons of our camera, so that we can learn photography and complete the settings quickly in actual operation. I suggest that you read the camera manual several times and learn about the function buttons of the camera.

Second, the shooting mode

Our camera generally has six commonly used shooting modes: automatic mode, program automatic, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual mode and B-door.

1, automatic mode: the camera controls various parameters, and we can shoot as long as we press the shutter, which is suitable for snapshot and novice practice.

2. Automatic program: also known as P file, it is a semi-automatic mode. You can adjust the brightness of the picture through exposure compensation, and you can also choose whether to turn on the flash, which is suitable for capturing and not using the flash.

3, aperture priority: also known as Av file or A file, aperture parameters are set artificially, shutter speed and sensitivity are automatic. Suitable for taking pictures that need to determine the depth of field, such as taking portraits with large aperture and taking landscapes with small aperture.

4, shutter priority: also known as TV file or S file, shutter speed is set artificially, aperture and sensitivity are automatic. Suitable for shooting moving objects, slow shutter shooting waterfalls, car tracks, star tracks, fireworks and so on. High-speed shutter shooting sports, wild animals, human movements, etc.

5. Manual mode: also called M-file, all parameters are set artificially. During exposure, you can check whether the exposure is correct by looking at the scale of the exposure indicator, which is the most difficult operation and requires high technology. Suitable for shooting in various occasions.

6. door b: manually control the shutter speed. When the shutter is pressed and released, the shooting is completed. Generally, door B is used for slow shooting.

If beginners are advised to practice, practice step by step in the above order.

Three elements of exposure: aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity

The three elements of exposure are the most important knowledge for us to learn photography.

1, aperture

Aperture is the aperture size of the camera, which controls the amount of light entering.

The larger the aperture (the smaller the value), the larger the aperture, the more light entering and the brighter the picture.

The smaller the aperture (the larger the value), the smaller the aperture, the less light entering and the darker the picture brightness.
