What are the tips for using Canon 600d?

The various functions of Canon SLR digital cameras are too unfamiliar to beginners. It takes some time to understand the parameters, performance and usage skills of the camera. In order to save everyone's time, here is a brief explanation for everyone. Talk about Canon 600d usage tips.

Canon 600d tips for using the shutter

The shutter determines how long the hole in your camera is open. If you open it for a long time, more light will enter; if you open it for a short time, less light will enter. It's that simple; well, it's not just that.

A high-speed shutter means you can capture fast movements, such as athletes, splashing water droplets, etc. The disadvantage is that too little light enters the camera, so your photos will be very dark. Conversely, you can use a slow shutter speed to compensate for low-light conditions. The longer that hole is open, the more light gets in.

But there is also a disadvantage here, that is, when using a slow shutter speed, if you or your subject moves in any way, motion blur will appear in your photo. In automatic mode and program mode, the camera determines the shutter speed itself.

Canon 600d tips for aperture

When the shutter speed is equal to the length of time the hole on the camera is open, the aperture represents the size of the hole. The larger the aperture, the more light; the smaller the aperture, the less light.

The size of the aperture is represented by "f". To confuse matters, a large f-number represents the opening of a small hole, while a small f-number represents a large hole. So f/4 is a large aperture but f/11 is a small aperture; when the camera is in manual mode, press and hold the aperture button to adjust the aperture size, rotate the command dial and observe the value displayed on the LCD at the same time;

Canon 600d usage tips: shutter priority mode

There are too many parameters to remember, especially for beginners, it is too complicated. Maybe you'll even want to give it all up, shoot exclusively in program mode, and never delve into your camera again.

These two shortcuts are aperture priority mode and shutter priority mode; for example, you are now shooting basketball players again. What do you care about most? Shutter speed. The only reason to worry about the other two parameters is to compensate for fast shutter speeds. With shutter priority mode, you let the camera do that for you.

Set the command to "S": set the shutter speed, and you adjust the aperture. You still need the appropriate IOS value, but your camera will calculate it. Adjust the shutter in the same way as in manual mode: turn the command dial and watch the numbers on the LCD change.

Canon 600d usage tips: Aperture priority mode

Aperture priority mode is basically the same as shutter priority mode. When you take a portrait under bright sunlight, what do you care about? Aperture. This is the parameter that allows you to achieve a shallow depth of field effect. The only reason you adjust shutter speed is to get an accurate exposure. Likewise, your camera can do some of the work for you.

Turn the command dial to "A" and select f/4 aperture. The camera will calculate the shutter speed I need. I still need to choose a suitable IOS, but the correct shutter speed has already been calculated. Okay,

As far as aperture priority mode is concerned, aperture is the most important parameter, so you don’t need to press the aperture button anymore, just turn the command dial and check the value changes on the LCD.
