How to adjust the aperture and shutter speed?

If we know a little about the buttons on the camera body, we have also seen the simple usage of various symbols on the camera screen. With these basic understandings, this paper takes you step by step to operate the camera from the two most important and basic modes of "shutter priority" and "aperture priority". The purpose is to make you more familiar with your Canon DSLR camera through the camera operation steps and instructions.

Television shutter priority

The TV shutter priority mode is the most important and the first mode for beginners to learn monocular photography. At this point, turn the camera and aim the TV at the white mark next to it. At this point, the camera will switch to the TV shutter priority mode.

In order to adjust the shutter speed, we must turn a wheel next to the camera shutter release button and turn it left and right to adjust the shutter speed.

When we turn the wheel with the index finger of our right hand, we will pay attention to the camera information screen and find out the field of shutter speed to see if the shutter speed has changed when we turn the wheel. As shown in the above figure, we can see that the shutter speed is 1/200s at this time. You can try to practice by turning the shutter.

After adjusting the shutter value, you can try to practice taking a few pictures instead of finding some moving objects as exercises, such as pedestrians, cars and running children. First of all, you should find a slow-moving subject to practice, and then find a big-moving exercise.

Take photos through the optical observation window (OVF), move the wheel with your finger to adjust the shutter speed, and pay attention to the following photo information. It shows that the current shutter speed has been set to 1/320. You have to look at each photo to know that the shutter speed can't reach the target.

How to interpret the shutter speed? You can refer to the above picture. If you want to increase the shutter speed, the number on the right should be larger, so that the protagonist in the fast action can be caught and frozen. On the other hand, if you want to present the rhythm of the protagonist, you should slow down the shutter (for example, 1/60) and gradually adjust it according to your own needs.

Remember, when practicing shutter priority, the easiest way is to practice repeatedly at different shutter speeds. Every time you press the shutter, listen to the sound of the shutter with your ears and check the photos you just took. If you feel that it doesn't meet your expectations, such as the blur of the protagonist, then dial the turntable to adjust the shutter and practice it several times repeatedly, so that you will be more skilled in operating the camera and shutter.

Av aperture priority

Turn the shooting mode dial on the camera body to Av and aim at the white sign next to it, that is, start the AV aperture priority shooting mode. This mode allows us to freely adjust the aperture size, while the rest, such as brightness and ISO, are handled by the camera for us.

Similarly, you can adjust the aperture value by pulling the wheel next to the shutter key and turning it left and right.

At this time, move the wheel with your index finger and pay attention to the F value on the camera information panel, as shown in Figure F3.5 above, which is the aperture value at that time. As the wheel rotates, this aperture value will change constantly.

Aperture size not only affects the difference of incoming light, but also affects the depth of field. It is recommended to shoot still life. Through the different aperture sizes of large aperture (such as F 1.8) and small aperture (such as F8.0), feel the application of aperture size in shooting creativity.

When using the optical observation window (OVF) to take a picture and compose a picture, there is a line of photo information below, and the yellow number F2.8 is the aperture value at that time. Through this optical observation window, you don't need to look at the camera LCD information panel, and all kinds of information needed for taking pictures are clear here.

Finally, to help you review, the aperture value is inversely proportional to the actual aperture size. The larger the aperture value f, the smaller the aperture. When we say "you need to turn up the aperture, your aperture is not big enough", we mean the aperture size of the real lens, not the F value. Don't make mistakes here.

Beginners practice aperture priority mode. I would recommend a fixed-focus lens with a large aperture lens (such as Canon EF 50mm F 1.8 II). The effect is obvious and simple. You will be more familiar with the use of aperture in taking pictures and the operation of the camera.

How to set the shutter speed of SLR?

Different cameras have different settings. But no matter what kind of SLR, you always set the mode dial to shutter priority first, and then adjust it.

I suggest you read the instructions carefully, which is very useful.

K-X, the mode dial on the right shoulder is set to TV (shutter priority). After starting, dial the wheel at the thumb of the right hand (the upper right corner of the display screen), and the shutter speed will increase to the right and slow down to the left.

Aperture adjustment: set the mode dial to AV, and then adjust the dial with the shutter speed.

Excuse me, how does the SLR adjust the shutter speed (specific operation)

Different models of SLR of the same brand operate differently. You'd better explain what brand and model of machine you use.

For example, Nikon SLR, entry-level D3000 and D5000 series all have exposure mode dials. When the exposure mode is set to shutter priority S or manual exposure M, the shutter speed can be adjusted, and the adjustment can be made using the command wheel. For a quasi-professional model such as D300/D700, which has no exposure mode dial, it is necessary to set the exposure mode to S or M first, and then use the command dial to adjust the shutter speed.

Another example is Canon SLR, such as 5D2. When the exposure mode dial is set to shutter TV or manual exposure M, the shutter speed can be adjusted by adjusting the dial behind the shutter button. See page 90 of the user manual.

How to adjust the shutter speed of Canon 60d?

First, switch to TV, and then turn the dial. You can see the speed change in the viewfinder and on the screen. In addition, M gear can also be adjusted. But if non-professionals use it as little as possible, it is a full manual gear, and the operation is very complicated. AV files are recommended for daily shooting, with small aperture and large depth of field, that is, clear background, suitable for shooting landscapes, large aperture and blurred background, suitable for highlighting shooting themes. Hope to adopt, thank you!

How to set the minimum shutter speed?

The so-called lowest shutter speed is the lowest shutter speed under the condition of ensuring clear shooting. Generally speaking, the shutter speed should not be lower than the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. For example, for a lens with a focal length of 100mm, the shutter speed should not be lower than one hundredth of a second. But now many cameras, such as Sony Micro Single, Pentax and Olympus, have anti-shake function, and Canon and Nikon lenses also have anti-shake function. At this time, the minimum shutter speed can be reduced. In addition, if it is a commercial shooting, regardless of the anti-shake of the body and lens, the minimum shutter speed of the 50mm lens should be no less than 125 seconds.

How does Nikon d7000 set the shutter speed?

How does Nikon D90 adjust the shutter speed?

Set it to M (full manual mode) or S (shutter priority mode), and then dial the thumb wheel on the back of the fuselage to see the shutter speed parameter on the shoulder screen.

How to set the shutter speed of Canon 600D?

Canon 600D shutter adjustment needs to be in TV shutter priority or M full manual gear. The shutter can be adjusted by toggling the front wheel in the TV and M range, and the aperture can be adjusted by holding down the exposure compensation key and then turning the wheel in M range.

How do photographers adjust the aperture and shutter?

Individuals use manual gears more.

1. First, determine which parameters are needed according to the occasion and the desired effect.

For example, if you want to blur the background, you should turn up the aperture.

You need a large depth of field to shoot the scenery, so turn down the aperture.

To shoot motion, you need a higher shutter to fix it.

If you want to express the dynamic effect through blurring, you need a slower shutter.

For hand-held shooting and snapshots in dark environment, try to use a larger aperture (generally, a higher ISO is needed to use the shutter speed as quickly as possible).

If you want to shoot a star-studded effect, use a smaller aperture.

Generally, when using the sub-factory lens, the maximum aperture is not used, but it is reduced by one level.

2. Look at the exposure indicator.

Now all cameras have TTL metering. If some antique film SLR cameras don't have an exposure meter, you need an extra hand-held exposure meter to measure light.

Turn the aperture or shutter dial on the camera and observe the exposure indicator bar on the display screen or shoulder screen to judge whether the exposure parameters are appropriate. When the exposure indicator bar points to the middle position (0), it indicates that the exposure is appropriate.

3. Further correct the exposure according to the color of the photometer.

Because the exposure meter is based on the reflectivity of ash in 18%, the color will also affect the accuracy of the exposure meter. The light reflection is large, and the exposure measured by the exposure meter is small, so the exposure should be increased. On the contrary, black should reduce exposure.

For example, I decided to use an aperture of f/2.8.

Then adjust the shutter speed. When the shutter speed is adjusted to 120s, the light metering indicator bar shows the exposure just right.

The measured object accounts for a large proportion in the picture, and the color is dark, so slow down the shutter speed to 240s (one step lower), which is almost the correct exposure value.

4. Further modify the exposure parameters according to the creative needs.

For example, if you take a photo with a small fresh style, you need to adjust the parameters to be slightly exposed.

For example, when taking a silhouette, it is sometimes necessary to deliberately dim the exposure to make the photo slightly underexposed.

In a word, it's quite complicated to say, but it's not that difficult to operate in practice.

Practice more and try more, and you will soon master the basic skills of manual exposure.
