Tips for choosing a SLR camera;

1, buy a SLR camera to determine the acceptable price, which is more purposeful.

Low-end entry-level digital SLR packages (D60, 400D, K 100D, etc.) below 5,000 yuan. )

5000-8000 yuan low-end entry-level or advanced digital SLR body (450D, D80, etc. )+Another popular shot.

8000- 10000 yuan low-end digital SLR body+another large aperture zoom lens.

10000- 15000 yuan mid-range digital SLR body+with large aperture zoom lens.

15000 yuan or more, this range is very wide, so I won't discuss it in detail.

Step 2 look at the brand

In fact, many novices have no so-called brand preference, and they actually don't know which brand is better. However, some buyers have used some brands of digital cameras themselves, and feel that the brands they are used to will be better. Although this idea can narrow your choice a lot, it may also miss the excellent models of other brands. When choosing, you should abandon brand preference, accept other brands and choose the car that suits you best.

3. Watch metering and exposure

In this regard, although there are some "selling points" differences in technical details, it can be considered that there is no difference in essence and there is no need to delve into it.

4. Look at the focusing speed, shutter lag and continuous shooting speed.

These indicators are very important for news photography, sports photography, wildlife photography and snapshot photography. For digital SLR cameras, the improvement of performance is accompanied by a sharp increase in price.

5, look at the shutter life

The shutter life of general SLR cameras is 50,000 times, the life of high-end SLR cameras can reach 8-65438+ 10,000 times, and the longest life of professional SLR cameras can reach more than10.5 million times. In practical use, if the high-speed continuous shooting function is often used, the shutter life will be reduced.

6. Look at the reliability of the fuselage

Advanced cameras are dustproof and waterproof, and can resist impact. Because of the metal body and special materials, the price of such a camera will be high.

7. Look at the color space

In addition to sRGB as the standard color space for Windows and inkjet printers, you can also choose to use more widely AdobeRGB. You can choose the best color space according to the purpose of photography.

8. Look at the flash system

For professional photographers, flash metering and exposure system is very important. Each manufacturer has its own unique skills in the automation of flash system, and there is no best or worst, only the most suitable.

9. Look at the lens group

The advantage of a digital SLR camera is that the lens can be changed. Whether the original lens series support and the products of independent lens manufacturers are rich enough to meet your needs is a problem worthy of attention.

10 to see if it supports W/A read-write acceleration technology.

All digital SLR cameras released after the fall of 2003 will support W/A reading and writing acceleration technology. With this technology, the reading and writing speed of TF card can reach more than 40 times (25MB/S).

1 1, see the transmission interface.

Digital SLR cameras released after the fall of 2003 should have both USB2.0 and 1394 firewire terminals. Some cameras should also support wireless network transmission such as 802. 1 1b/g and Bluetooth.

12, look at the shutter

The highest shutter speed and the slowest shutter speed (B door) are two key indexes of digital SLR camera shutter. The reliability and accuracy of the shutter also need attention. The highest flash synchronization speed is also a sign to measure whether a digital SLR camera is advanced or not.

13, handle, shape, weight

Whether the fuselage design is suitable or not is often the most important place to decide to buy a SLR camera. Regardless of the price, the size and weight of professional digital SLR cameras are not acceptable to everyone. Small and lightweight amateur digital SLR cameras are more suitable for ordinary people.

14, is it simple and convenient to see the dust?

It is also a headache for digital SLR users. Because the digital SLR can change the lens, it also causes dust to easily enter the interior of the fuselage, which will have a certain impact on imaging when it falls on the photosensitive element. Be sure to pay attention.

Introduction course of SLR camera

The lens is a very important part of taking pictures. Besides controlling the aperture, the focal length of the lens is also a very important element. Students must have a good understanding of the meaning and practical use of focal length. This article will briefly introduce some basic knowledge that must be learned! Of course, I also talked about the relationship between focal length and composition, and I heard it in class!

(A) first understand what is the "actual focal length".

If you are careful when buying lenses, you will find that the specifications on some lens websites will be marked "18mm (actual focal length is 28mm)" and so on. This is because the real focal length of the lens will be affected by the size of the photosensitive element. Please refer to the following table:

The lens shows the actual focal length.

The actual focal length of the whole picture (1x)

Actual focal length of APS-C (1.5x)

M4/3(2x)

18mm 18mm27mm36mm

50mm 50mm 50mm 75mm100mm

200 mm 200 mm 300 mm 400 mm

It can be seen that if Quan Huafu (FF) 18mm lens is used, it will become 18 on APS-C camera. 1.5=27mm field of view! The opportunity to take wide-angle photos is not wide enough, but it is more advantageous in telephoto (200mmx 1.5=300mm).

(B) Wide-angle lens can contain more scenes.

Wide-angle lens can shoot more scenes because of its wider visual range, which will be very useful in shooting wider scenes or if the light spot is too small. However, when using wide angle, we should pay attention to too many elements in the photo, which will make the photo appear messy and lack focus.

Wide-angle lens can take all kinds of photos.

(3) The telephoto lens can eliminate unnecessary elements.

The telephoto lens has a narrow viewing angle, and the photos will not contain a wide range of scenery, excluding unnecessary elements, so that readers can concentrate on one thing (the protagonist), which is suitable for close-ups or when the background is messy.

Use a 200mm telephoto lens to eliminate unnecessary things (such as extra sky) in the photo.

(d) Wide-angle lens, shooting depth of field.

There are three elements in a shallow depth of field (front clear and back cover), one of which is the focal length. The longer the focal length, the easier it is to take photos of the depth of the scene. So if you use a wide-angle lens, the focal length is very short (for example, 16mm). Even if you use a large aperture (such as f/2.8), just choose the right focal length (away from the camera) carefully.

If you want the whole photo to be clear, you can shoot it with a small aperture and a wide-angle lens.

(5) The telephoto lens has a shallow depth of field.

On the other hand, if you use a telephoto lens (for example, 200mm), even if your aperture becomes smaller (for example, f/8), the photo will easily have a shallow depth of field, so pay attention to the depth of field when using a long focal length. Because it is easy to reach shallow depth of field, telephoto lens is also suitable for shooting close-ups, portraits and other subjects, but pay attention to the safety shutter when holding it, so as to avoid blurring the photos caused by hand shock.

On the other hand, if you use a telephoto, such as 200mm, you can shoot a shallow depth of field effect.

(6) The wide-angle lens exaggerates the sense of space.

In addition to maintaining a deep depth of field, a wide-angle lens also has a feature of exaggerating the sense of space, making "the distant things smaller and the near things bigger", and it will also produce exaggerated deformation. As long as we make good use of these characteristics, we can take photos with more tension, which is a common lens type in landscape photography and architectural photography.

Tension photos can be taken with 16mm wide-angle lens.

(7) foreground and background compression of telephoto lens

Using telephoto lenses, in addition to the shallow depth of field mentioned above, there is also a very important feature: "compressing the foreground and background." Under telephoto lens, the size and distance between the background and the protagonist will be reduced. Compared with the wide-angle lens, the distant scene is no longer smaller, but larger and looks closer to the protagonist, which will make the whole photo richer and closer. Students should make more use of it.
