How to shoot macro with Huawei mobile phone

For everyone, professional models always seem to be mysterious, thinking that professional models are inscrutable and need superb skills to control.

Actually, the professional model is not that complicated. If you are familiar with the major, you will find it very simple.

The parameters of professional mode are fixed after adjustment, and will not change with the change of light and environment like automatic mode. We can get the ideal exposure effect according to our own needs.

Ordinary scenes, professional mode is very simple, what is really difficult is macro shooting and the use of slow doors.

Here I only talk about macro shooting in professional mode.

The most difficult thing in macro shooting is the blurring and focusing of the background, and focusing is also very difficult.

It's hard to focus on these little guys who are only a few millimeters in size like this:

So, today, let's learn about the professional mode and the daily use of professional mode, the professional mode and the macro shooting method of fast and accurate focusing, and take the macro photos with the best blur effect.

Interpretation of professional model

The first thing to introduce is several functions:

Photometric mode, iso exposure sensitivity, S shutter, EV exposure value, AF focusing mode and white balance, as shown in the following figure.

1. photometric mode

The first box is metering mode, click to expand, that is, matrix metering, central button metering and spot metering.

Matrix photometry is suitable for scenery, cities and other scenes that need balanced exposure.

Central focus photometry is suitable for the scene you want to focus on, such as a tree, a gazebo, a car, etc. , also applies to character description.

Spot metering is especially suitable for scenes with small depth of field and prominent themes such as portraits and macro.

Professional mode, choosing metering mode is the most important part, so put it in the first place, as shown below:

Iso exposure sensitivity, where the sensitivity of the camera is adjusted. The larger the number, the greater the sensitivity and the brighter the photo, and vice versa.

Note: The higher the exposure sensitivity, the brighter the photo will be, but the noise will also increase, which will also lead to overexposure and underexposure. Here, the exposure sensitivity needs to be matched with the shutter to take a good photo with appropriate exposure, as shown in the figure.

3. Shutter speed

Shutter speed, shutter speed is calculated in seconds, below 0 seconds is normal shutter, and above 0 seconds is called slow door.

The faster the shutter, the shorter the exposure time and the darker the photo; The slower the shutter, the longer the exposure time and the brighter the photo. Super night scene is to make the night bright and clear by increasing exposure time and high iso forced exposure.

We can also shoot super night scenes in the professional mode of slow exposure, but this requires fixing the mobile phone to prevent the photos from blurring due to jitter, as shown below:

EV exposure value, which is the sum of iso exposure sensitivity and exposure time. In the strong light with too much light, in order to prevent overexposure, set EV to a negative value. When the light is weak, in order to prevent underexposure, we set EV to a positive value. As shown in the figure below:

5. very much

AF focusing mode, there are three focusing modes: AF_S, single autofocus, AF_C continuous autofocus and MF manual focusing.

We seldom use single autofocus, which is suitable for close-up shooting of some scenes. Continuous autofocus is widely used, such as snapshots, moving objects, landscapes and other common scenes.

MF manual focusing is especially suitable for portrait close-up and macro shooting. Manual focusing can capture the clarity of the face you want, and manual focusing can capture the clarity of small objects. The following figure

6. White balance

White balance, the mobile phone has set four fixed white balance modes, namely warm color, cold color, deep cold color, soft color and manual white balance.

Warm colors are suitable for highlighting sunlight and clouds at sunrise and sunset, cool colors are suitable for shooting green plants, and deep cold colors are suitable for shooting blue sky, lakes and seawater. Soft colors can play an all-round role in strong light.

Manually adjust the white balance, hold down the orange cursor and slide from warm to left to cold, as shown below:

How to shoot macro in professional mode?

The focus is on macro parameter setting and fast and accurate focusing.

Because the macro is shot at super close range, even in low light, the iso sensitivity can't be overshooted, otherwise the noise will increase, and the iso parameter can only be set to 100 at most, which is set to 50 under normal circumstances, so the shutter coordination is needed here.

In low light, the shutter speed can be set between 1/80 and 1/50, and the E ⅴ exposure value is set to +0.3 or 0.7. Under normal light, the iso is set to 50, the shutter is set to 1/800 to 1/320, and the fast-moving small animals are photographed, and the shutter speed is set to11/800.

It is recommended to set the focus mode to MF manual focus.

Macro shooting in professional mode usually adopts zoom shooting to achieve the best background blur effect.

Select spot metering, set iso and shutter parameters according to light conditions, select MF, zoom to 3-5 times, enlarge the subject, click MF again, hold down the orange cursor and slide left and right to focus until the subject is clear, touch the shutter to shoot, and then touch continuous shooting continuously.

Let's call it a day. I hope everyone can take photos smoothly.
