Lead: Pet photography has always been welcomed by everyone, and every owner wants to capture his lovely side. Here, I bring you Canon 7D pet photography skills. Let's go and have a look!

Canon 7D pet photography skills Canon 7D uses the corresponding F2.8 autofocus sensor to shoot pets as follows:

Shooting data

EOS 7D/EF 85mm f/ 1.8 USM/ aperture priority automatic exposure (F 1.8, 1/500s)/ exposure compensation: +0.3 ev/ISO 100/ white balance: automatic.

Shoot the dog playing happily on the park bench with EF 85mm f/ 1.8 USM lens. Because animals have the habit of hating strangers entering their territory, they choose telephoto lenses. In addition, this kind of lens used for portrait photography has a fast autofocus speed and is suitable for shooting moving objects. Here, make full use of the autofocus function of EOS 7D, capture the texture of hair and the appearance of eyes with the maximum aperture while shooting the instantaneous action lightly and quickly.

Keep moving, pet's precise focus.

Step 1: Turn the lens focus mode switch to AF.

In order to focus accurately, it is more effective to use single autofocus. Once focusing is completed, autofocus will be locked and the focus will be fixed. The specific operation method is to set the focus mode switch on the lens to the AF position, and select single autofocus in the autofocus mode on the camera body.

Step 2: Set the aperture value

Adjust the mode dial to automatic exposure with aperture priority, and choose the aperture value used when shooting according to the creative intention. Here we need to express fluffy hair texture and want to capture the lovely eyes of pets, so we use the maximum aperture.

Step 3: Select the center focus.

Select single-point autofocus from the autofocus area selection mode and select the central autofocus point. Now most EOS digital SLR cameras are sold. The central autofocus point is equipped with a high-precision autofocus sensor corresponding to F2.8 on the basis of the autofocus sensor usually corresponding to F5.6 When equipped with a bright lens with a maximum aperture greater than or equal to F2.8, the two autofocus sensors will work at the same time to achieve more accurate focusing.

Key points: EOS 7D's fixed-point autofocus can achieve more accurate focusing.

Selecting the fixed-point autofocus from the customized function of EOS 7D will get a smaller ranging range than ordinary single-point autofocus, so that for a specific point, more accurate focusing can be achieved with a smaller range. For a large aperture fixed-focus lens, which part of the eye focuses will affect the final imaging effect, so it is very convenient to focus on a small range of fixed-point autofocus function. Please use it as much as possible.

Step 4: Set the driving mode to continuous shooting.

When shooting constantly moving pets, multi-lens optimization is the key to success. Continuous shooting mode is the best driving mode, and you should take as many shots as possible once you find the opportunity.
