Skills of using Canon 60D

1. Use two shortcut keys "INFO" skillfully. And "Q" avoid the fussy of frequently pressing menu keys, saving time and labor.

2, unless the angle is sharp, don't use screen framing: screen framing costs electricity, focusing speed is extremely slow, and it is unprofessional.

3. The video recording function is basically a chicken rib, which can only be entertained occasionally: it consumes a lot of electricity, takes up too much storage space, and has low definition (compared with dv).

4. Learn the method of background blur: the longer the focal length, the smaller the aperture value, the shallower the depth of field and the more blurred the background.

The shorter the focal length, the larger the aperture value, the deeper the depth of field and the clearer the background.

5. Highlight the subject, so that the subject of the photo becomes the most prominent place, which can reduce the background and appear concise.

6. The theme is distinct, and the theme of the photo is reflected by the light and shade of the photo, the facial expression of the character and the reality of the background.

7. Use the golden section composition method skillfully, so that the core parts of the subject and theme are located in the area near the golden section of the photo.

The above are some personal experience in using 60D and some basic skills in photography for reference.
