How to turn on a digital camera

Digital cameras have spread to every household, but some friends who are not proficient in digital products are still not good at using digital cameras. So, how to turn on a new digital camera? Here are some experiences on how to turn on a digital camera, which I hope will help you. Friends who find it useful can share it with more people!

There are several ways to turn on an ordinary digital camera:

1. There is a key smaller than the shutter button on the digital camera, which is the power button. Press for a long time, usually for a second or two. When the digital camera is turned on, the lens stretches and can take pictures.

2. For the periscope lens, if there is a plate covering the lens, then push the plate downward or obliquely, the lens cover is opened, and the power switch is turned on, so you can take pictures.

3. For digital SLR, one is that there is a power switch outside the turntable. The other is an advanced digital SLR, which has a rotatable switch at the lower right of the LCD screen on the back of the camera, that is, the power switch.

There is also a digital camera, which switches the power supply through the turntable. Turn to the off sign when the turntable is closed, and open the automatic or video recording or manual mode when it is opened. In short, let's see if the end of the camera is covered with a slidable switch. If so, press the switch. If not, look for the word on/off in the front, back, left and right of the camera. Some buttons need to be pressed for a long time and need to be tried. There are also brands with power switches, which need to be carefully searched. Such as I/O or power or mode.

Starting method of Canon digital camera

Read the instructions first.

There should be a quick start instruction and a coarse instruction.

Look at the quick start first. As for the screen problem, generally speaking, you can't shoot a SLR with the screen open, because the screen will consume a lot of electricity, and everyone takes pictures from the viewfinder. If you want to open the LCD screen, there are also buttons, which one is specific, check the instructions. Not only SLR, but also general card machine can close the screen and watch from the viewfinder. SLR is a single-lens reflex camera, and the specific principle can be found in the picture, which is not helpful for use.

2. Enter the shutter drive mode selection (select the second mode);

3. Press the shutter to start continuous shooting after framing (the cable is best released);

4. Let go and end continuous shooting.

Shooting skills of digital camera

1. Grab the flash and shoot.

It is best to use automatic flash mode to let the camera automatically detect the environment to achieve the best shooting situation. If you use flash when taking pictures indoors and outdoors, the performance of some digital cameras will be obviously improved, but it is not necessarily good. For example, if you encounter backlight indoors or in broad daylight, for example, when the sun is setting and the background is a neon landscape with strong light, you can still use a flash to fill the light and hit the light on the theme to avoid the embarrassing result that the photographed image is black. But you should also determine the flash index of your digital camera, that is, the effective range of the flash, which is generally between 0.5 and 3 meters, depending on different digital cameras. Otherwise, beyond this range, the flash may be invalid. If you are shooting at close range, such as 15cm-20cm, please choose forced no flash, otherwise it is easy to overexpose.

Step 2 avoid shooting at light sources

Avoid shooting at the light source, especially when the light source is reflected by smooth surfaces such as glass, metal or water, to ensure clear images. You can try to shoot a fixed reflector with a digital camera, such as shooting a CRT monitor with a flash. Digital cameras will make you the center of attention. And this image, no matter how you use the image software in the computer, can't restore the original image in the photo. So the solution is to avoid this light source and change the position of photography; Or simply turn off the flash. If the light source is insufficient, please reinforce it with other light sources.

3. Turn on the big aperture and set off fireworks

If you want to shoot fireworks at night, because the light is obviously insufficient, you can first adjust the aperture or the maximum, and adjust the shutter to about115 ~1/30 seconds. Because the advantage of digital camera is that you can shoot more, because fireworks are fleeting and belong to an instant scenery, you might as well shoot more experiments at ordinary times and shoot beautiful fireworks.

4. Turn down the aperture to shoot ice and snow

Because snow refracts sunlight and produces strong light, it often results in a bright background and a dark face. So when taking pictures, the aperture should be narrowed a little. You can also aim the flash directly at the face of the target person, so that the brightness of the person and the background will be the same, making the target object clearer and reducing the refraction of strong light.

5. Avoid shooting large-area scenes with the same color block.

Due to the influence of pixels and sampling, the current digital camera can't distinguish the color blocks too finely. For example, under the influence of light and shadow, the black block of a black dress can be divided into hundreds of blacks, while digital cameras can only divide this black into 24 or 36, which will be different from the real scene. Therefore, if you want to take a good photo, it is best to have a smooth and obvious outline of the theme, such as portraits, cars, buildings and so on. In other words, the foreground should be clearly separated from the background to make the image more vivid.
