How to sum up photography experience from zero foundation

Commonly used exposure value

1, shutter takes precedence

Starry sky: F 1.4~5.6, human capture: F5.6~ 1 1.

Portrait at night: F2.8~5.6, close-up of flowers and plants: F 1.2~4.

Static figures: F 1.2~4, landscape photos: F8~ 1 1.

Food/still life: F8~ 1 1, fireworks/track: F 1 1~20.

2, aperture priority

Daily shooting: 1/80s~ 1/200s, fireworks shooting: 3~5s (preferably with tripod),

Captor: greater than1125s, shooter: greater than11000s?

Snap a car: 1/200s or more, and shoot a baby/pet: 1/200s or more.

3, m file.

Fireworks: ISO 400F8 1~4s

Lightning: ISO 200F8B door

Full moon: ISO 200F5.6 (sunny) 1/500s No.

Galaxy: ISO 3200-6400F2.830s

Photometric determination

Photometry measures the brightness of the picture and provides exposure parameters.

There are three main measurement modes: evaluation measurement, central key measurement and point measurement.

1, evaluating photometry

The smartest way to evaluate photometry is to average the light in the picture. However, it is not suitable for scenes with large light, and the measurement results will be biased, such as large areas of bright or dark colors.

2. Central key photometry

The most commonly used is central dimming, which measures the area around 1/3 in the center of the picture. When shooting, the subject is usually placed in the center, which can ensure the correct exposure of the subject and avoid the influence of areas outside the center on the exposure results.

Step 3 spot metering

Spot metering is the most accurate way, that is, metering 3% of the screen. When the subject is not in the center, it is the most accurate method to aim at the subject directly to ensure the accuracy of the exposure of the subject. Combined with the linkage function of spot metering, it is the most perfect shooting method, otherwise it will only be to lock the exposure after metering and then compose and focus the shooting.

1, single autofocus

Generally, it is expressed by AF-S. After pressing the shutter for half a minute, you will hear a beep, indicating that the focus is complete. Press the shutter and you can shoot. Generally suitable for shooting still life, such as commodity shooting, flowers and plants shooting, posing portraits and so on.

2, intelligent autofocus

Is the camera autofocus, represented by AF-A, according to whether the subject is moving, choose single focus or continuous focus, but sometimes it will make mistakes.

3, continuous (servo) autofocus

Servo focusing, also known as continuous focusing, is represented by AF-C. When shooting a moving subject, you can continue to focus until the shooting is over without pressing the shutter again, which is suitable for shooting moving subjects, such as sports and animals.

4, manual focus

Represented by MF, it is the most accurate focusing method. When autofocus fails, for example, the shooting distance is too close and there is an object blocking, it is necessary to manually focus to adjust. There are also details that the subject needs to pay attention to, such as macro shooting, which needs to be manually focused.
