Micro-single shooting: share some dry goods knowledge about lens and photography skills and become a master in three days.

For friends who like images, it is not enough to have a good micro-single figure that can meet their own needs. You must also know some photography skills and how to choose the lens that meets the shooting requirements. Only when these three aspects have a certain foundation can we really shoot an enviable blockbuster.

If we only look at the picture quality, the mainstream Quan Huafu advanced micro-single can meet the demand. Although there are differences in image quality among major brands, basically the image quality of all brands can meet all the needs of ordinary users and home users. Even if you watch it on a 70-inch LCD TV, the picture quality is fine.

In addition to image quality, we should also pay attention to the anti-shake performance, focusing performance and video shooting performance of the fuselage. For friends who like to capture high-speed moving objects, they should also have strong continuous shooting performance and continuous shooting speed. Because if the focus is not accurate, no matter how good your lens is, no matter how powerful the image sensor is, no matter how excellent the image quality is, what's the point?

This is also the reason why many netizens are hard to choose between major brands when choosing high-end models: from most models, Nikon has the best picture quality and very high machine stability, but Nikon's focusing performance is slightly lower than Sony and Canon. Canon's high-end micro-single is slightly worse in image quality and battery life, but the full-pixel hybrid autofocus performance is very strong, and the fuselage anti-shake performance is very strong. Sony's image quality is slightly lower than Nikon's and higher than Canon's. It has strong focusing performance and the strongest endurance, but its handling is not very good, and the color of direct JPEG photos is not very good. The price of models with the same performance is also higher than Nikon and Canon.

Of course, let's not talk about the fuselage problem today. If you want to know the advantages and disadvantages of major brands and specific models of high-end models, you can read my previous article on fuselage, which is very detailed. In a few days, I will mainly talk about lens and shooting skills, and the length of fresh fish. Let's talk briefly today, and then discuss it in depth.

In addition to understanding the fuselage and taking good photos and videos, we should also fully understand the lens and some more important shooting techniques. Regarding the lens, it mainly depends on your needs. Generally speaking, the quality of fixed focus at the same price is better than zoom. Of course, if you compare the small spittoon with the big three yuan, there is no comparability.

Most people shoot mainly people. In fact, you can choose a relatively cheap fixed-focus lens at first. There are three typical fixed-focus lenses, namely, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm focal lengths. 35mm is a wide angle, so you can shoot more pictures at the same distance, which is suitable for close shooting. The 35mm lens has the worst blurred background effect, but it can capture people and the scenery behind them.

50mm focal length is the most widely used focal length. The shooting distance is not too far, and the background blur is not too severe, but it is also easy to take photos with very good blur effect. Of course, this requires increasing the aperture.

85mm focal lens is suitable for shooting at a relatively long distance with the smallest viewing angle. However, under the same shooting distance, the 85mm focal lens can get the largest photo of people, which is equivalent to 2.3 times the size of the photo taken by the 35mm lens. Moreover, the 85mm focusing lens with the same aperture has the best blur effect, and a smaller aperture can get a better background blur effect.

Moreover, the picture quality of the 85mm lens is the best among the three lenses (the same level), with high definition and purity, small color difference and small deformation, and it is the easiest to shoot high-quality blockbusters. Of course, the 85mm lens is not suitable for taking photos of large scenes, nor for shooting in relatively narrow spaces, because its close-up shooting angle is too small.

Of course, there is a more advanced solution, that is, directly attach a standard zoom lens of 24-70, covering the most commonly used focal length from wide angle to medium telephoto. One lens can be used as three lenses without changing lenses frequently, which avoids the wear of lens bayonet and the disadvantages of dust adsorption on image sensor and inner lens.

Of course, although the 24-70 standard zoom lens has many advantages over the fixed-focus lens, it also has a small disadvantage, that is, the lens is longer and heavier, but it is cool to shoot any scene, wide angle, medium focus and telephoto. What is bigger and heavier than that? It's better than repeatedly disassembling the camera lens.

After understanding some simple lens common sense, let's talk about shooting. In fact, as long as you study hard, you can become a master in three days. Of course, this is a master in theory. If you shoot really well, you need to practice summing up frequently. But in general, there are the following basic skills to master:

When taking most photos, try to use a large aperture, not the maximum, as long as it is one or two levels lower than the maximum, depending on the ambient light. If the light is dark, it will be reduced by one level, and if the light is good, it will be reduced by two levels, so the picture quality will be better.

In terms of iOS settings, try to use low ISO, because the lower the ISO value, the purer the picture, the richer the color and the higher the image quality. Generally speaking, if the light is not very dark, the shutter speed can ensure the image quality, and it is best to use 80- 100. Of course, 200 and 400 are not impossible, and they can be as low as possible.

The shutter speed depends on your machine. If your fuselage has very strong anti-shake performance and lens anti-shake performance, it is not a problem to shoot for two seconds. If the anti-shake performance of the fuselage is average and the lens has no anti-shake performance, try to control it within one fifteenth of a second (different cameras have different shutter speeds). If the fuselage is not anti-shake, it is best not to be less than one sixtieth of a second. Of course, it depends on the specific person. Some people's hands are shaking badly, and some people are very stable, so they can use different shutter speeds.

In short, the aperture and ISO are given priority as far as possible, and the shutter can be set automatically. If the light is dim, the shutter should be used first. Try to use the maximum aperture when shooting people, and automatically set ISO to achieve the best exposure. If you shoot at night, the aperture should not be too large, because if it is too large, the depth of field will be smaller, and the distant and nearby scenery will be blurred easily, unless you want this effect.

Of course, the most important thing is to keep practicing, just like learning to swim. If you just stay at the theoretical level, you will never take a good photo. Only by constantly practicing and summarizing can we make continuous progress. Do you think I'm right?
