1, aperture is preferred when shooting portraits and landscapes. Aperture priority is to manually define the aperture size, and the camera will decide the shutter speed according to this aperture value. Because the aperture directly affects the depth of field, this mode is most widely used in ordinary shooting. When taking portraits, I usually blur the background with a large aperture and a long focal length to get a shallow depth of field, which can highlight the subject. At the same time, a larger aperture can also obtain a faster shutter value, thus improving the stability of hand-held shooting. When shooting scenery, I often use a smaller aperture, so that the range of depth of field is wider, which can make the distant and nearby scenery clear. This is also applicable when shooting night scenes.

2. Shutters are mostly used to shoot moving objects, such as moving vehicles, waterfalls, flying objects, fireworks, water droplets, etc. Contrary to aperture priority, shutter priority is to obtain aperture value through camera metering when the shutter is defined manually. Shutter priority is mostly used to shoot moving objects, especially sports shooting. Many friends find that when shooting moving objects, the subject is often blurred, mostly because the shutter speed is not fast enough. In this case, you can use the shutter priority mode, roughly determine a shutter value, and then shoot. And the motion of the object is generally regular, then the shutter value can also be roughly estimated. For example, the shutter speed for photographing pedestrians is only1125 seconds, while it takes11000 seconds for photographing falling water droplets.

3. Portrait shooting. First of all, use telephoto, 3-4 times telephoto is very suitable for taking portraits, and the wide-angle end will make people look a little deformed and ugly. A telephoto of more than 4 times or even longer will make the face too flat and not vivid enough. Secondly, the aperture takes precedence. Choosing a large aperture can make the shutter faster, reduce jitter and make the background as blurred as possible. It is best to choose spot metering, front spot metering and exposure locking. Because other metering methods are easily affected by the color of clothes, the face exposure is not normal. Finally, the composition. Portraits should account for 1/3- 1/2, and faces should be above 1/3. The portrait taken in this way will be very vivid, have visual impact and make people look good.
