How to set the contrast

In photography, contrast represents the difference between the brightest part and the darkest part of the shooting scene. When you have to squint or there are dull shadows on the ground, the contrast of the scene is high. Contrast is also related to the scenery itself. A surface with high reflectivity, such as metal or water, will also reflect a lot of light in a direction that satisfies the law of reflection. In addition, the contrast will also be affected by the scene. For example, when a subject stands between you and the bright sun, the sky and the ground or the subject and the background are almost indistinguishable, a low contrast will appear. If the digital camera has the contrast control function, you can find the contrast option in the menu, that is, you can set the contrast parameters. The contrast setting depends on your shooting intention. For example, if you want to soften the strong light when shooting in high-contrast daytime, use the "low" contrast setting; When the scene is illuminated by strong light and the contrast between the bright and dark parts of the scene is high, you can use the "low" contrast setting to make it less stiff. Suppose you shoot on a cloudy day with low contrast and want to inject vitality into the low contrast scene through the modeling of the scene, then use the "high" contrast setting; The default "normal" contrast setting of the camera is usually used, which can meet the basic setting effect in most cases. You can also get different effects by setting different contrast (although the later image editing software can also achieve the same effect). For example, when remaking text, you can use the "high" contrast setting to get a clear edge effect and remove the gray background; For another example, when shooting portrait flowers, in order to obtain a more natural transition effect between color and tone, you can use a lower contrast setting.
