What are the natural enemies of SLR cameras?

Digital SLR cameras do have many natural enemies, such as myself, and I am one of the big natural enemies of digital SLR cameras. Of course, perhaps everyone is more concerned about how to deal with these natural enemies. According to my years of experience, I will give you analysis and suggestions!

Specific natural enemies and countermeasures are as follows:

First, myself, I often advise you not to buy a SLR camera. SLR camera manufacturers may hate me.

To be honest, I think, in most cases, camera phones and high-end card machines are enough! Therefore, for those who are impulsive or have not thought clearly, I advise them not to buy SLR cameras.

In other words, one of the natural enemies of SLR cameras is camera phones or high-end card machines. So, how to deal with the attack and erosion of camera phones with SLR cameras?

The answer is simple. You need a tripod, a large aperture fixed-focus lens and a telephoto lens. You need to spend time reading some photography books and you need to spend time practicing. Otherwise, your SLR camera may really beat the camera phone.

Second, dust, dust.

Digital SLR camera, afraid of dust. Therefore, in the case of more dust, do not replace the photographic lens.

When changing the camera lens, move quickly.

Third, humidity, moisture, mold

Moistureproof box is highly recommended for photographers in Jiangnan. Okay, moistureproof box is a few hundred dollars, and the expensive one is one or two thousand dollars. Well, there is a simple moistureproof box for about 100 yuan, which is really useful.

All kinds of moistureproof box are very cheap, a little expensive, but generally not expensive.

Fourth, people who don't understand

Digital SLR cameras, it is best not to lend them to people who don't understand, and don't lend them to people who don't like cameras. For example, I never cherish my camera, so don't lend it to me.

Verb (short for verb) children

Children like to touch the surface of the lens with their fingers, and the more they touch it, the more they like it. Well, it's true. The surface of the lens feels really comfortable. I've touched it, and I like it very much. Of course, I touched the dog's head.

Children are really destructive to the camera, so they should be placed in a high place to prevent children from getting it easily.

To sum up: although there are many aspects that need attention in digital SLR, if you use it yourself, you don't have to care too much. It is best to use it as soon as possible. It is the biggest waste to use it all the time!

A few years ago, the natural enemies of SLR cameras seemed to refer to some natural and artificial unfavorable factors that affected the use of SLR cameras, but today, in 202 1, SLR cameras still face overwhelming enemies in the market competition environment.

Traditionally, the natural enemies of SLR are mainly dust, humid environment, strong light, low temperature, improper operation and use.

SLR camera is a relatively precise photographic instrument. The structure of SLR is more complicated, and some components are more expensive. A very simple example is that most photographers in the south need to put their SLR cameras and lenses in moistureproof box, because there is a humid environment for a long time every year, and there is a lot of water vapor in the air, which is a very unfavorable factor for SLR cameras and lenses. In this environment for a long time, the optical components will be moldy, greatly reducing the life of the machine.

Friends who like to shoot long-exposure scenery films know that if you shoot this kind of film directly with the lens of a SLR camera facing the strong sun and open the aperture for a long time, your cmos photosensitive element is likely to be "burned", so you should also pay attention to the backlight. Exposure time and aperture size should be properly controlled. If you don't pay attention to the dust in the use environment and change the lens posture incorrectly, the dust is willing to invade your camera, including cmos, and invade the lens barrel. It doesn't matter if there is less dust. If there is a lot of pollution, your SLR equipment is really difficult to clean.

Shooting in extremely cold environment, SLR electronic components are also prone to problems, such as batteries, such as shutters. SLR keeping warm is a necessary measure for shooting in extremely cold environment.

In addition, improper use by photographers may also cause damage to SLR cameras. Although the SLR camera is a very durable equipment, even the entry-level equipment, its durability is very strong, but there are still shooting injuries that will not be caused by ignorance. For example, the camera is violently bumped, the camera is exposed for a long time without a lens, the shutter is repeatedly pressed at high frequency, and the camera does not need to take out the battery for a long time.

From the point of view of product competition, the natural enemies of SLR cameras are both anti-micro-single and mobile phones.

Simply considering the natural enemies in the use of SLR, we can avoid the damage to SLR through appropriate measures, but the natural enemies in the market competition can directly kill SLR. SLR camera is a very mature camera product with strong vitality, which has played an important role in the long history of camera development. However, with the development of science and technology, people's choice of photographic tools has changed accordingly. Smartphones are becoming more and more powerful in terms of photographic performance. Although it can't be compared with SLR in hardware, it has quietly attacked SLR in photography habits and photography culture. The mainstream camera giants have to face the sales impact of the popularity of smart phones on SLR cameras.

The sales of entry-level SLR cameras originally targeted at home users are not as good as before, because most home users only need to use smart phones to get basic photography needs. For this kind of users, photos with daily friends, travel records, photos of flowers and plants, photos of life clips, etc. are enough. No one wants to study the theoretical knowledge, technology and skills of photography, and no one wants to carry a heavy SLR camera. Therefore, the target customers of SLR cameras have lost most of their home users, leaving only photographers and professional photographers. This group is relatively small and has high requirements for machines. Some disadvantages of SLR itself are increasingly exposed in the eyes of professional users. For example, the maximum continuous shooting speed of SLR cameras with mirrors has a bottleneck. The existence of optical viewfinder makes the focus range unable to cover most of the picture area; Shooting video requires constantly lifting the reflector to consume power; Longer flange distance is not conducive to the improvement of image quality and so on. As a result, major camera brands began to focus on non-reverse models, that is, castrated the micro-single of the optical viewfinder device on the SLR camera. As a result, many high-performance micro-single products have come out, focusing fools are much smarter, ultra-high standard large aperture lenses have also been made, continuous shooting has also been strengthened, and video shooting indicators are stronger than SLR. These excellent genes make SLR sigh.

Some people say that micro-single has completely changed the life of SLR, and some people say that smart phones can replace SLR. These statements are not comprehensive, but with the development of technology and the change of photography demand, SLR has gradually entered the twilight, and the existing models are likely to become the last generation.

Therefore, at present, the biggest natural enemy of SLR is no longer wind, sand, humidity, extremely cold temperature and other factors, but it will soon be eliminated and become one of the camera types in history.

Ha ha ha, the natural enemy of the camera, how do you say this? If you say yes, you have to calculateno. SLR cameras are not as fragile as you think. As long as you pay more attention, you can let go when you use it!

However, to count natural enemies, these may be what you want to know and will break your heart!

1. The special environment hides the killer. This is not a special environment, called freezing or scorching sun. Dust and sand that are easily overlooked are fatal to the camera. Therefore, attention should be paid to protecting the lens when shooting in busy construction sites, outdoors with sandstorms and beaches.

Dust generally only affects the surface of the camera, and the harm is not so great. Pay attention to cleaning in time, sand may even damage the internal accessories of the camera. So try not to replace the lens, battery and memory card in the scene with dust and sand, and you can also use some protective covers to protect the camera.

Rain and moisture are also harmful to the camera. When the camera is stored in a humid place for a long time, it is easy to be damp and moldy (SLR camera control: smmapp), so remember to put it in a dry place. In addition, water is also the deadly enemy of the camera, and the electronic instruments in the camera will be short-circuited, so it is best to use waterproof bags when shooting in rainy days.

2. Who hasn't been careless? If you don't pay attention to shooting, it will be terrible. My heart broke when the camera fell to the ground! It is necessary to pay more attention, but it is also necessary to install a good UV mirror or hood, which can play a protective role at critical moments.

Going out to shoot in summer is afraid of ultraviolet rays and mosquitoes. Of course, you should prepare sunscreen and mosquito repellent (SLR camera control: smmapp). However, did you go out with your camera directly in Maha?

Some friends regret it because these oily substances leaked or rubbed against the camera! These liquid vials or oily substances should be as far away from the camera as possible and should not be put aside for convenience.

The most ruthless natural enemy refused to bite. I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air and the sudden concern of my friends! Others are afraid to borrow money from basin friends, and friends who play photography are most afraid of others borrowing cameras! Come and borrow it once every three days, nagging that the camera is not easy to use, damn it!

Auto focus is not accurate, and I also complain that the shutter button can't be pressed (SLR camera control: smmapp). Can this friend who borrowed the camera become the natural enemy of the camera? Of course, there are similar people who pretend not to understand. They marvel at the big camera, but no one despises the small one.

So you don't have to be cautious about the camera, but you also need to take care of it to avoid all kinds of pits. Of course, if you are surrounded by people who like to borrow cameras, cry for yourself.

There are many natural enemies of SLR cameras. Today, I will give you a short talk. First of all, the biggest natural enemy is humidity, especially students in the south. Because of humidity, the internal lens and lens of SLR cameras will be moldy. Once moldy, it will directly lead to the unavailability of cameras and lenses, which is very difficult to clean up. Therefore, to do a good job of moisture prevention, a moistureproof box can solve this problem. SLR cameras are also afraid of falling. Cameras and lenses are sophisticated optical instruments. Once dropped or bumped, the lens will be broken or the internal failure of the fuselage will not work. Finally, SLR cameras are afraid of dust, especially fine sand. Once the fine sand enters the camera and lens, it will cause the focus ring obstacle or shutter obstacle, resulting in the inability to focus and press the shutter. It is also difficult to clean up.

However, the top flagship cameras and high-end lenses designed and produced by various manufacturers have been well treated in terms of moisture and dust, ensuring that the cameras can be used normally in harsh environments.

Personally, the "natural enemies" of SLR cameras can be divided into two categories according to software and hardware.

Hardware category, mainly refers to dust, humidity, these material problems.

Software mainly refers to a series of problems caused by improper use.

First of all, talk about hardware classes.

About dust:

Needless to say, SLR cameras, as long as you use them, you can't avoid the risk of dust on the body and lens. As photographers, what we can do is to protect the equipment in our hands as much as possible, be careful when using it, and clean it up with logistics; If you need to change the lens, try to choose a clean place. When changing the lens, you should be leeward and fast.

About humidity:

It is inevitable that it will rain on cloudy days when on location. It's really raining, and it's imminent. You can't leave it alone! Just in case, we can prepare a slightly larger plastic bag in the camera bag. The size shall be subject to being able to wrap the fuselage and lens. Before going out in the rain, wrap the camera (including the lens) in a plastic bag and tie it; Then cut a hole in the lens to expose the lens-of course this is a rough way. If you have time, you can also press the camera with a plastic bag.

It is not expensive to change the size of your own raincoat, and it is also cost-effective to use it repeatedly.

The weather and tide in the south. When the camera is not in use, it is best to store it in a dust-proof box to avoid moisture intrusion and corrosion of electronic parts; The northern region is dry all the year round, so it's no problem to put it directly in the camera bag, so you don't need to buy a dust box.

Secondly, talk about software.

The wrong use method will directly lead to the short life of the camera, and the protection during use is particularly important. For example, climbing mountains and shooting night scenes. Find a bracket, right? You have to install a tripod, right? In case the clamp spring of one leg of the tripod is not screwed firmly, or the tripod head is not stuck, the camera can't catch the lanyard and the camera will land, which is a matter of minutes.

No one wants an accident, but no one can predict when it will happen. Therefore, to be on the safe side, from the moment you get the camera, you should form a good habit of being kind to the equipment. Shooting equipment is more than just a tool in the eyes of photographers; I am still a comrade-in-arms and a relative, and I have a revolutionary feeling of sharing weal and woe.

Mainly dust (dust, ultrafine particles) and moisture.

SLR cameras and lenses are precision optical instruments, and these products are afraid of dust and moisture.

Dust, dust and other fine particles will penetrate into the camera and lens along various tiny interfaces between the camera and lens. Once they enter, it will certainly affect the accuracy of the instrument, thus affecting the function of the camera. If it can be cleaned up in time, it is still possible. If it can't be cleaned in time, it will take a long time or there will be too much dust, and the camera will be scrapped.

My impressive experience is that I once shot a large party with the new lens of Canon 70-200mm F2.8. In the last part of the party, many gold powders and small colored paper rolls fell from the sky, creating an atmosphere. Because I didn't understand the program flow carefully before, in this part, a lot of gold powder fell on the fuselage and lens, which was too small to blow off. I was so distressed. Then I had to brush it off with a brush. The new lens debuted and was injured. I would like to remind all photographers to know the environment to be photographed in advance and be careful of dust.

Moisture is also one of the natural enemies of SLR. If you stay in a humid environment for a long time, the lens will grow mildew, which will affect the accuracy and image quality, and the lens will also be destroyed (of course, if it falls into the water, it will be destroyed). However, this problem is relatively easy to solve. There are various styles of moistureproof box on the market now, and photographers can buy them according to their needs.

In addition, SLR is also afraid of falling. However, I think it's okay to stumble. My entry-level SLR camera n years ago, a layer of skin was worn off by the handle I used, which did not affect the use at all. It's quite solid.

From the perspective of mass photography, mobile phones are the natural enemies of all cameras!

Because most people can't learn the knowledge of photography systematically, and the technology of mobile phone is developing rapidly, backed by powerful hardware computing performance, the degree of intelligence of mobile phone photography is getting higher and higher. For small white users, the effect of taking photos with mobile phones is no less than that of micro-single and SLR, so more and more people choose to use mobile phones instead of SLR cameras.

From a professional point of view, the current network speed is getting faster and faster, and the 5G era is coming. The change of network environment gave birth to the "short video era", and the signs of "short video" crowding out graphic resources are more and more obvious. Therefore, in the professional field, I believe that 4K high-definition video recorders, 6K video recorders and even 8K video recorders will definitely have an impact on advanced SLR and micro-single.

SLR camera is a very sophisticated instrument, so its natural enemies are mainly as follows.

The first is the humid environment. In the humid environment, not only the circuit board is prone to be affected with moisture to produce patina, but also the lens is prone to produce mold. If it's moldy, it's hard to deal with. If there is no lens, it is basically scrapped. Therefore, unless it is in a particularly dry place in the north, the SLR camera should be put in the moistureproof box when not in use.

There is also bumping, because the shutter and other parts of the camera are very precise. Once bumping or even bumping happens, although the appearance may not be damaged, its focusing system and shutter operation will be affected, which will directly lead to the decline of camera performance. Damage.

There is also incorrect usage habits, which will directly damage your camera, such as shooting videos for a long time or constantly continuous shooting, which will do great harm to the shutter and CMOS.

If SLR cameras have to say shortcomings, relatively small cameras are big and bulky! But one of the benefits of the huge handle is that the camera's grip is first-class! Compared with the medium format camera, the picture quality is slightly inferior! On the comprehensive quality, SLR is more suitable!
