How does Canon 5D2 shoot the night scene?

Lead: The little friend has already opened the Canon 5d2, so be sure to take a good night view first. So how does Canon 5D2 shoot the night scene? I'll tell you right away.

EOS 5D Mark II /EF 35mm f/2/ Aperture Priority Auto Exposure (f8.0, 13s)/ Exposure Compensation:-1EV/ISO 100/ White Balance: Auto.

Take a clear picture of the buildings around the pond with EF 35mm f/2. Manual focusing under real-time display shooting function can maximize the resolution of lens and image sensor by relying on precise focusing. EF 35mm f/2 has a suitable viewing angle and a certain sense of perspective, and the composition will be easier, which is not only suitable for quick shooting, but also suitable for night shooting.

Accurate focusing is achieved by real-time display shooting.

Step 1: Fix the camera firmly on the tripod.

In order to focus more accurately and maximize the resolution of the image sensor, it is necessary to fix the camera firmly on the tripod. When shooting a night scene with low ISO sensitivity, it is difficult to shoot a hand-held lens in how bright. To avoid blurring caused by jitter, please use a sturdy tripod.

Step 2: Turn the lens focus mode switch to MF.

If you use a model that supports real-time display shooting, the way to achieve accurate focusing when shooting night scenes is to combine real-time display shooting with manual focusing. Focusing on an enlarged image from an image sensor on a liquid crystal display will have higher focusing accuracy, and there are many advantages, such as focusing anywhere in the picture, if you want to focus.

Step 3: Start the real-time display shooting mode.

EOS 5D Mark II has a real-time display shooting button on the left side of the viewfinder. Press it to switch to real-time display shooting mode. In addition, because the mirror is in the rising state in this mode (except when the autofocus mode is set to the fast mode), the vibration caused by releasing the shutter at the moment when the shutter button is pressed will be relatively small, which is most suitable for night photography with slow shutter speed and prone to jitter.

Step 4: Keep the picture level by displaying the grid line function.

Select the real-time display function from the menu? Show grid lines? Adjust the camera level with reference to the building outline, and adjust the composition of the whole picture at the same time. When aligning with the horizontal line, the outline of the straight part of the building should be parallel or coincident with the grid line. In addition, when adjusting the composition, it is best to confirm whether the dark part or edge of the picture captures unnecessary objects.

Step 5: Focus accurately by enlarging the display screen.

After adjusting the composition, move the zoom-in box to any position, and press the zoom-in button on the upper right corner of the back of the camera to zoom in on the displayed image for more accurate focusing. Although the operation order of focusing can be determined freely, it is easier to select the focusing position under the display of 5 times magnification and then focus accurately under the display of 10 times. Moreover, if you use a bright lens with a large aperture, the enlarged picture in real-time display shooting mode will be clearer and easier to focus.

Step 6: Delay the selfie for 2 seconds to prevent jitter.

Set the driving mode to a 2-second delayed selfie. If you use a 2-second delay selfie, the camera can automatically release the shutter after the vibration caused by pressing the shutter button by your finger stops, which is very effective for vibration prevention. In addition, tools such as cable release can be used to suppress vibration.

Column: rotatable LCD, which brings more convenience for real-time display and shooting.

EOS 60D is equipped with a rotatable function, which can change the angle of LCD at will. It can adjust the angle of LCD according to the user's observation position, which is more convenient for real-time display and shooting. When shooting at a higher position with a tripod, tilting the LCD downward can confirm the picture from the front, while tilting upward is more convenient when shooting at a lower position. In addition, under the influence of street lamps, LCD will reflect light, resulting in unclear vision. At this time, adjusting its angle can obtain a clear observation effect and better confirm the focus position.
