How does D5200 take pictures without light?

Hello, congratulations on your new camera!

First of all, how to automatically pop up flash! In low light, set the camera mode to automatic mode (turn the mode dial to the green mark), and then press the shutter halfway. At this time, the photosensitive element will feel the light is weak, and then the camera will automatically pop up the flash to fill the light for the scene to be shot.

Then let's talk about how to take pictures in a very dark environment with a SLR. My personal experience is that the small flash that comes with the SLR is basically a chicken rib. If not, I feel something is missing, but the effect is not very satisfactory. Forced flash can also eliminate the shadow on the face of a portrait during the day, but the effect is poor in very dark environment. Because the light intensity of the lamp is small, it is easy to cause local overexposure and the surrounding background is dark.

There are many solutions, among which the external flash is the most convenient, but the cost is a bit high for friends who just started to contact photography, and the flash that is slightly passable is more than 1000.

Then artificial light. You can use a flashlight with weak light, or cover the surface of the flashlight with a layer of gauze, or use other portable light sources to supplement artificial light. This method is suitable for macro bug shooting at night.

Most importantly, there must be a tripod! Don't think that beginners don't need it. In fact, a good tripod can improve almost all your photographic works, not only the level of anti-shake, but also the quality and sharpness of tripod photography and hand-held photography. Another advantage of tripod is that it can liberate people to a certain extent, extend the exposure time, shoot the orbit of stars at night, shoot the process of solar eclipse, install a reducing mirror during the day, shoot streams, waterfalls, flowing clouds and so on.

I haven't been there for a long time. Finally, let's share something. Try to use M file and feel the different effects of camera aperture, shutter, sensitivity and exposure compensation. Try to use a fixed-focus lens when learning photography. Perhaps the current zoom lens can give you many choices, but the fixed focus lens will help you learn to change your perspective and better conceive. Try to use a tripod. Maybe you don't think it's really necessary to take a commemorative photo, but if you insist on using a tripod, you will feel gratified when you review your work. Try to capture the beauty of life with the camera in your hand. Only by continuous practice and thinking can you shoot better works, and your works are the driving force for you to continue to enjoy the beauty of life and create better yourself.
