Must-see for Beginners/Zero Basic Photography

Photo mode

1, photo mode

The common shooting modes in SLR cameras are: M file (automatic mode), TV file (shutter priority), P file (program automatic), AV file (aperture priority) and A+ (full automatic).

M full manual mode: manually adjust the aperture and ISO, and completely manually adjust the photo exposure.

TV shutter priority: Set the shutter speed manually, and the aperture and sensitivity are automatically given by the camera, which is often used to shoot moving objects.

P program automatic: all exposure parameters are given automatically by the camera, which is very suitable for novices and people who can't use the camera. AV aperture is preferred: the aperture is set according to the depth of field, and the shutter speed and sensitivity are automatically given by the camera, which is often used to shoot portraits.

AUTO/A+: Full-automatic mode, all parameters are automatically set by the camera according to the surrounding environment, which is suitable for the novice Xiaobai.

Shutter/aperture /ISO

2. Shutter

The faster the shutter moves forward, the less light, the darker the picture, and the more it can freeze the moving subject. The slower the shutter is, the more light enters and the brighter the picture is. Slow doors can shoot traffic clouds and water.

Step 3: Hole

The smaller the number, the larger the aperture, the brighter the picture, the deeper the scene and the more blurred the background. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture, the darker the picture, the deeper the scene and the clearer the background.

4、ISO

The larger the ISO, the brighter the picture and the worse the picture quality. The smaller the ISO, the darker the picture and the better the picture quality.

Flash exposure compensation

5. Flash exposure compensation

Before pressing the shutter, we judge the brightness of the picture through exposure compensation. Under normal circumstances, the picture is normally exposed at O ratio. If it is not in the O scale, we can adjust it by shutter, aperture and ISO.

6, custom controls

Parameter saving can be set at will, which is convenient for using the adjusted parameters and is beneficial to changing parameters quickly in different scenarios.

Photo format

7. Photo format

8 automatic brightness optimization

Commonly used photo formats are JPG format and RAW format.

JPG: This is a popular image storage format at present. It can reduce the storage size by compressing data, and this format can be used for general shooting.

RAW: This is an original image file format. It has not been compressed, but all the data has been preserved, and the data is relatively large. General commercial photographers will use the RAW format.

8. Automatic brightness optimization

During the imaging process, the appropriate brightness and contrast can be automatically adjusted according to the shooting results. It can analyze the brightness of the subject and adjust the image and dark parts to natural brightness;

White balance around exposure

9. White balance around exposure

According to the set white balance, the camera will automatically perform hue compensation from red system to black system or from green system to magenta system according to the white balance.

10, white balance correction

It can be used to correct the brightness and smoothness of the picture, and can also set different parameters to achieve different styles of photos.

12, white balance

The adjustment modes of white balance include: automatic white balance, tungsten lamp mode, flash mode, sunshine mode, etc. When setting the white balance manually, the higher the value, the warmer the picture tone, and the lower the value, the colder the picture tone.

measure

1 1, measurement mode

Measurement methods are divided into evaluation measurement, partial measurement, spot check measurement and central key average measurement.

Photometric evaluation: the average measurement of the overall brightness of the picture is very suitable for photography beginner Xiaobai. It is widely used in various scenes from landscapes to snapshots. Partial metering: It measures the central part of the picture. When the subject is located in a local area, which accounts for a small proportion of the picture and has a strong contrast with the background, partial metering is more suitable.

Spot metering: the metering element only measures a small area of the screen for metering, and the center key average metering is suitable for the situation that the photographer wants to fully express the subject: generally, it is suitable for the situation that the subject occupies a large area of the screen or the light ratio and color difference are large.

Automatic focusing operation

13, autofocus operation

There are three autofocus modes: single focus mode (AF-S), continuous focus mode (AF-C) and automatic smart focus mode (AF-A).

Monofocal mode: it is a common way for us to shoot people, flowers, lights and other static scenes.

Continuous focus mode: This mode is suitable for capturing moving people like flying cars and jumping animals. Automatic intelligent focusing mode: the camera automatically recognizes the object to focus.

14, photo style

There will be some characters, scenery, still life and other styles to choose from in the camera. You can choose according to the style you want to shoot.
