What metering method does Nikon D7000 use to shoot the night view of the city? How to focus? What is the aperture?

The shooting technique of night city is the opposite of night image. The metering method of the city that never sleeps usually adopts global metering, and the portrait adopts point metering. At night, city shooting usually uses a small aperture, which can enlarge the depth of field and make the far and near scenes clear. At the same time, small exposure can be combined with slow shutter to achieve soft light effect, and the overall look is brighter. As for how small the aperture should be, it depends on your lens. Generally speaking, for example, the sharpness of some lenses is at the highest value of F8, but in order to increase the depth of field, it is more appropriate to reduce the aperture to F 1 1. As for why small aperture should be used, in addition to controlling the depth of field just mentioned, it is also to control the shape of light overflow of city lights. The light spot seen under a small aperture is obviously much sharper and clearer. Of course, some excellent lenses don't have to shrink to such a small aperture, for example, they can be around F6, because some of these lenses have high sharpness and strong anti-dispersion ability, and it is not necessary to control dispersion and sharpness by aperture. There are many ways to shoot the city that never sleeps. The key is to try slowly. I missed the focus question you asked. I'll make it up for you here. Because the focusing screen of D7000 is not a split-image focusing screen, it is difficult to judge whether the focusing is accurate with the viewfinder. Here, you can use LV to take a view, then press the zoom button and focus manually until you see the clear position of the picture, so that the focus is accurate. I wish the landlord a happy photography, and take a picture of his night scene by the way, using the hood of D7000. Welcome to communicate.
