How to use a SLR camera (Nikon D60) to take clear and bright scene photos at night?

Are you a traffic policeman? What lens do you use?

1. When the light condition is not good, it is necessary to use a relatively slow shutter time and a relatively large aperture, and the sensitivity setting should also be improved. If the film is recorded on the spot, the ISO can be set to 1600, and several exposures can be added with the shutter aperture unchanged.

2. Exposure has nothing to do with distance. No matter whether you are in the scene at 10 meters away or at 10 meters away, the same shutter and aperture settings will get the same exposure, but the camera angle is different.

3. This question is uncertain, because I don't know the night shooting function of Nikon D60. If I guess, it may be that the flash is insufficient for the second time after pressing the shutter when the power of the flash is still insufficient.

4.P mode is that the camera automatically decides what kind of aperture and shutter to use, which is suitable for your shooting needs (also related to your limited photography knowledge, photographers generally don't use this mode). S mode is adopted to ensure the exposure time, and the camera automatically sets the aperture, which is suitable for sports, wildlife, news, emergencies and humanistic photography. A mode is used when a specific depth of field effect is needed, and the camera automatically sets the shutter, which is suitable for shooting documentaries, portraits, still lives, sketches and so on. M mode is the most professional mode, and the shutter aperture is manually set by the photographer.

For example, shooting with a street lamp, the S mode can be set to 1/30 seconds; If a mode is used, it can be set to f/4; If you use M mode, you should set the above two items (provided that your hands are steady, or you have a tripod and turn on the flash). This is just my hypothetical lighting situation. You should adjust it according to the actual environment at that time.

The concept of exposure compensation is abstruse, because its premise is the choice of metering point. Now all SLR cameras have built-in exposure meters. After you select a metering point, the camera will give exposure suggestions according to the brightness of this point, but in M mode, exposure compensation is invalid.

Generally speaking, the root of your problem is that you don't understand the concept of photographic exposure, which can't be explained clearly in a few words. I suggest you find some basic knowledge of photography to learn. In addition, some colleagues should have been engaged in your work, so you can ask them more.

Just remember that the three factors that determine exposure are shutter, aperture and sensitivity, and the combination of these three factors finally determines the amount of light received by the photosensitive element.
