What shutter and aperture does a SLR camera use to take pictures in rainy days?

Although the sunshine is weak on cloudy days, the light is even and soft, and some scenes with strong contrast will become much richer in tone and color, which can show some artistic conception and atmosphere that cannot be produced on sunny days.

Compared with sunny shooting, cloudy shooting is more difficult, so it is very important to master some shooting skills. Choosing appropriate exposure parameters and using telephoto and maximum aperture are the most commonly used shooting methods on cloudy days, which can blur the background, highlight the theme, get a higher shutter and improve the success rate of hand-held shooting, and are also suitable for portrait shooting on cloudy days.

Generally speaking, we adopt aperture priority mode and set it to the maximum aperture. The metering mode selects spot metering to measure the subject. When measuring, get as close as possible to the subject without blocking the light, which can ensure the accurate exposure of the subject.

Due to the dark light on cloudy days, your measured shutter value may not reach the "safe shutter", and in this case, hand-held shooting cannot guarantee the clarity of the picture, so you need to use a tripod on cloudy days.

As for the specific parameters: ISO can automatically have little effect, just look at the exposure meter in the frame for the shutter and aperture, or a slightly larger aperture. The main problem is the color temperature. The color temperature on cloudy days is very high, about 6000k or above. You must choose white balance on cloudy days, otherwise the picture will turn blue, and it will be more accurate if you use custom white balance.
