Do you have any skills in using M-files of SLR cameras?

At present, most novices who play photography online use A,

S these three files all feel that these three files are more convenient, which can automatically help photographers adjust camera parameters and improve film output rate. But I think M file is a more convenient and suitable shooting method for newcomers.

Why do you say that? First and foremost,

p，

S These three gears are all affected by the metering mode, although they are in the same environment and the same gear. However, different metering methods will cause different photo effects. Based on this situation, photographers need to consider which metering method to use when shooting. When I use M file, I can only shoot by spot metering. Can everyone look at the photometer when the SLR camera is in M file? If you don't understand, look up the instructions yourself. It's simple. Here comes the key.

I take a photo with spot metering and M-file. Generally, I set the required aperture value first, and then observe the scenery through the viewfinder. Draw a rough picture. Then, shake the lens and move the focus to a position with almost medium brightness in the picture for metering. Of course, if we want to make the picture darker, then we can focus on the brighter part of the picture. On the contrary, if we want to shoot brighter, then we will move the focus to the darker part of the picture. After the camera measures light, the exposure is given. Then adjust the shutter according to exposure value. Until the exposure shows that the exposure is normal. Then you can go back to the previous composition and shoot normally with the current parameters.

The second point, a,

S is not good, obviously stupid, but pretends to be smart. When you shoot with them, they can't tell the difference between clear and dark. Because they only know gray. For example, we all know that bright objects have high reflectivity and dark objects have low reflectivity. When you want to shoot snow,

S-file camera will mistake white for strong light, so it will automatically reduce the exposure parameters. As a result, the snow was painted gray. On the contrary, when you want to shoot black charcoal,

p，

S-file cameras will mistakenly think that they are shooting in the dark. As a result, the exposure parameters were improved and the black carbon was painted gray. In order to solve this problem, the exposure compensation function added by SLR allows you to add white and reduce black. But why consider how much to add and how much to subtract? Use m gear! M file is so cute. I don't know about light color and dark color, so just admit it and show the exposure to the owner. Let the host decide how much to expose.

The shooting process is basically the same as described in the underlined part above. However, when shooting light-colored objects, it is necessary to adjust the shutter until the exposure indicator stays in a slightly overexposed position. When shooting dark objects, adjust the shutter until the exposure indicator stays at a slightly underexposed position. Then shoot.

Combining the above two points, we can see that M gear only needs spot metering, and does not need metering. Don't ask about exposure compensation. Just aim at the bright spot, watch the exposure and dial the shutter wheel. Do it. It's no use shooting. It's a big deal to shoot again with the shutter up or down. It's that simple!

What are you waiting for? Pick up your camera and try it on M!
