Tips for finding Nikon d90. I'm just getting started. Seek simple and practical skills from experienced people, such as ISO and white balance.

Matters needing attention in shooting settings

Use real-time view

Nikon D90 adds real-time framing function, which is very useful for shooting low-angle photos and more intuitive for framing different scenes.

Open the live view function with one button, move the focus frame and view flexibly.

To turn on the live view function, just press the LV key on the back of the fuselage, and the display will show the currently shot picture. Focusing is done by half pressing the shutter just like optical framing, and the focusing speed is relatively slow. When the viewfinder is green, you can press the shutter button to finish shooting.

Open the menu and set the focus options. Select the autofocus item in the personal settings menu.

Select the new focusing mode of live view autofocus, with face first.

Half-pressing the shutter will produce a yellow focus frame. When the focus box turns green, it means that the focus is correct.

With live view, the popular face recognition function on consumer digital cameras can also be realized on SLR. Press the menu key, select "autofocus" in the personal setting menu, and then select "live view autofocus". At this time, you can see that in addition to setting the general focus frame size, there is also a face priority function. Click to open this feature. When focusing, a yellow focus frame will appear to cover your face. When it turns green, you can press the shutter to complete the exposure.

How to set bracketing exposure

When shooting scenes with high highlight ratio, bracketing exposure will be used. When we are not sure whether exposure value is right or not, we can use bracketing exposure to take many photos of different exposure value, which can reduce the occurrence of regrets about dissatisfied photos.

Press and hold this key and dial the front dial to adjust the exposure offset by setting the surrounding exposure parameters through the dial.

Adjust the number of shots by turning the back wheel, and set the white balance to surround through the menu options.

Turn on the surround exposure function and press and hold the BKT wheel. Toggle the front thumbwheel to complete exposure compensation. Take one-third exposure as the step value, and dial the rear wheel to adjust the number of shots. There are 2 and 3 lenses to choose from. When selecting 2 photos, you can choose overexposure compensation or underexposure compensation. By setting the border option in the menu, you can use the BKT key to set the white balance border, which is similar to setting the white balance manually.

Press and hold WB key to switch dial to adjust white balance. After the switch, the turntable is switched to Pre.

Press and hold the WB key again until the word Pre flashes.

When the white object is focused and sampled, the word GOOD appears to indicate that the setting is successful.

To set a custom white balance, first press WB key, press and dial to select the pre file, and then press WB key for a long time until the pre file flashes, indicating that you can sample. Manual focusing is selected for the lens, and the picture is full of single color for white or gray objects. Just press the shutter in A gear. The word "OK" appears, indicating that the setting is successful; Otherwise, no good state will appear and must be reset.

When shooting in poor light, we need to turn on the autofocus auxiliary light of the fuselage to help us focus.

Select the a3 autofocus option in the personal settings menu and set it to ON.

At this time, pressing the shutter will start the focus assist light, and the brightness range is about 3 meters.

Press the menu key to select autofocus in the personal setting menu, then select a3 built-in autofocus auxiliary lighting and select ON. This is because when we press the shutter button, the autofocus auxiliary lighting will automatically light up, which will be very different in a dim environment. It can ensure that the object about 3 meters is bright enough to focus.

Use the help function to learn camera settings.

Nikon D90, with more and more functions, will inevitably encounter bad functions when using it. Friends who don't want to read the instructions can use the display and labeling function in the machine to learn about the use of this function. Press when the menu is displayed? Keys for displaying related option notes.

Displaying comments is like pressing "?" As simple as when the selected item is highlighted. With the same key as WB, relevant comments will be displayed. Set custom Fn key to improve shooting efficiency

The Fn key located inside the handle can set the required function settings by itself, which is convenient for faster operation when efficient shooting is needed.

When the Fn key is in this position, it is easy to use and press the menu key to enter the menu.

Select the "Specify FUNC" button in the control page, and there are various customization options to choose from.

The position of Fn key is set so that the index finger is just pressed when holding the handle, which is convenient and quick to set. When setting, press the MENU key to enter the menu, select the control page, and enter the third item "Specify FUNC button" to set a number of quick setting functions, which can be set after viewing with the function of displaying comments.

Third, use multiple exposure shooting.

Multiple exposure is a shooting technique used in film cameras, that is, multiple exposures are made on the same film without changing the film. In practical application, it is mostly used to shoot night scenes. Through multiple exposures, the scenery before dark can be combined with the city lights at night, showing a bustling atmosphere. In the digital age, the multiple exposure function belongs to in-machine synthesis, which can be completed by post-means, but the function display effect is better, avoiding the complexity of post-processing.

The most basic requirement for using multiple exposures is to use a tripod, which can ensure that the position of multiple exposures remains unchanged, otherwise ghosts will appear.

Turn off the anti-shake function with a tripod and select Multiple Exposure from the menu.

You can choose to take the picture of Figure 2 and Figure 3. The optional dynamic D-Lighting setting is higher.

If you use a tripod, it is best to turn off the anti-shake function to prevent interference. The multiple exposure of D90 is set in the shooting menu page, and the number of shots can be selected. There are two or three lenses to choose from, and the exposure of each lens depends on the number of lenses. Setting the value of dynamic D-Lighting higher when shooting night scenes is helpful to make the brightness of the picture more balanced.

Cover half of the racket with a black screen. Cover the other half the first time, and take the second time.

Through the multiple exposure function, we can take more creative pictures and record the same object in different positions in the same picture by using the characteristics of multiple exposure. The specific operation is to cover the unnecessary part of the scene with a black barrier, press the shutter for the first time, and then cover the part taken for the second time. If the exposure is successful, an object can appear twice in the same picture. The following proof roughly expresses this process. Different postures of the same person appear in the same picture. However, it is the first time for me to use this function. Where there is something wrong with the operation, the cover must be covered twice. Otherwise, there will be parts in the sample that are obviously too bright after two exposures, and ghosting will occur due to the vibration of the fuselage when shooting. This is a function that needs constant exploration to take successful photos, and it needs constant trial and error.

Four. Matters needing attention in taking landscape photos

Landscape photography is the favorite theme of many photographers, but many additional equipment are needed to take a good landscape photo. Only the use of camera is discussed here, and the knowledge about the use of filter can be obtained through other ways.

Take the scenery with the focal length of the wide-angle end as usual.

Install a hood to prevent flare.

Set a lower sensitivity.

Set to the lowest value L 1.0.

There is no hard and fast rule about the focal length for shooting scenery, but it is very important to use the wide-angle end to show the broad momentum and the environment is not so wide that it can be expressed by telephoto. Considering the magnification of D90, the focal length indicated on the lens needs to be multiplied by 1.5, so the wide-angle end is actually equivalent to 27mm field of view. In order to show a broad momentum and reduce the phenomenon of "falling from the building" caused by spatial perspective, it is best to choose a lens between 23 mm and 33 mm. You need to use a hood to shoot the backlight environment that the landscape usually encounters, so as to prevent some halos from appearing.

Generally speaking, outdoor light is sufficient, so you can shoot at low sensitivity and reduce noise. Hold down the ISO key and adjust the dial to the lowest value of L 1.0, which is ISO 100.

Set the dynamic D-Lighting to a higher value.

Nikon digital SLR has the setting of dynamic D-Lighting function, which can greatly increase the tolerance when it is turned on. It is very useful when shooting scenery, especially when shooting pictures with high brightness background, which can greatly preserve the details of the picture. Choose high or extremely high when setting, which is more effective when taking landscape photos. However, it is not recommended to use extremely high-grade in general lighting environment, and the image quality will be slightly lost.

Five, the method of shooting high-speed moving objects

For fast-moving objects, there are two ways to express when shooting, one is to express the sense of speed of the object, and the other is to solidify the moment when the object moves. The former is suitable for expressing the motion characteristics of objects, while the latter is the most commonly used method of sports reporters, which can reflect the wonderful moments of sports.

The simplest shooting method is to use the shutter priority file and use the manual exposure M file for better control.

Using low sensitivity can make the slow shutter capture beautiful in the daytime, and the continuous shooting function is often turned on.

When we need to express the sense of object speed, we often use a slow shutter, such as the car in the sample, which can reduce the shutter speed to a certain extent. With the follow-up focusing of D90, you can ensure that the theme is in focus when the car is driving, and the background produces a vague sense of speed. What we need to do before shooting is to reduce the sensitivity, and we can use the lowest ISO 100 to ensure that there will be no overexposure under the slow shutter. Mode can choose shutter priority, and it is best to use M file, which can better control the exposure.

For snapshots, we must improve our sensitivity. Due to the high sensitivity noise control of D90, even in the case of ISO800, it still has good image quality. Turn on the continuous shooting function, press and hold the shutter mode button to turn the dial and set it to the high-speed partner. 4.5 The continuous shooting lens can shoot a series of actions every second, and then select the most suitable picture, set the shutter speed as high as possible, and complete the exposure without underexposure.

Six, macro shooting method

Macro photography has its unique charm and is also a favorite theme of many film friends. Macro lens is the best way to shoot macro, which can show the details of tiny objects well, but many lenses can also have good results when shooting macro subjects.

Take macro photos with telephoto, just use file a.

Turn on the anti-shake function when holding it, and you can use a tripod to stabilize the camera better.

When shooting macro subjects, the telephoto end is often used, which can blur the background and effectively highlight the subject. The background in the sample is well blurred and the spots are round. In the outdoor environment, the use of A-stop aperture priority can meet the needs of most non-critical shooting, and shooting can be completed by following the exposure compensation principle of whitening and reducing black. Turn on the anti-shake function when holding it to ensure the clarity of imaging. If it's not too much trouble, it's better to use a tripod, but it's too mobile to catch pictures.

Press the shutter halfway and use the arrow keys to select the focus. Press the preview of depth of field to observe the degree of background blur.

The focus of D90 1 1 can be switched by arrow keys when the shutter is half pressed, which is very useful for shooting pictures and convenient for accurate focusing. Press the preview button of depth of field in the lower right corner of the lens to observe the background blur.
