How to shoot people with Canon 400D?

...I asked you upstairs, can your 18-55 be adjusted to F5.0 at the 55 end? The maximum aperture at the 55 end is 5.6, okay?

When shooting portraits with the 400D camera, just use the 55 end. The focal length has a greater impact on the depth of field. 18F3.5 obviously does not have as good a blur effect as 55F5.6 (when the object distance is the same). When shooting half-body photos outdoors at the 55 end, you can get a good blurring effect. At the same time, the image quality of the 18-end headset is relatively poor, and the 55-end end is much better, so I just gave up on the 18-end end (turning it to F8 is good for taking pictures of the scenery).

The specific operation is to use AV mode (aperture priority), turn the lens to the telephoto end, use the dial to set the aperture at F5.6; use partial metering mode (400D does not have spot metering, partial metering Use it together); choose the focus point, aiming at the model's eyes or eyebrows.

Because the depth of field is shallow, the focus must be accurate. Generally, when taking portrait photography, focus on the eyes of the model. The contrast between the dark eyes and the white skin next to them is relatively large, so it is not easy to lose focus.
