How to set up a portrait camera (how to set up a portrait camera)

1, select the appropriate lens; When shooting portraits, the choice of lens directly affects the imaging effect of photographic works. For example, if you want to take a portrait with an environment, you can choose a lens below 50 mm, for example, 28mm and 35mm lenses can take a portrait with a clear environment. If you want to take photos of documents or portraits, you need to separate the background from the main body, and you can choose a medium telephoto lens above 85 mm

2. Mode setting; When shooting portraits, you should choose the appropriate camera mode. If you only take portraits every day, you can use automatic mode, similar to P file or automatic file. If you want to control the overall shooting effect yourself, you need to use manual mode. Of course, it is not necessarily manual or semi-automatic.

3. Use aperture priority mode; If you take a portrait during the day, you can also take pictures in aperture priority mode. You only need to set the aperture size, and the aperture can be set to the maximum. The shutter speed is automatically set by the camera, so it doesn't need to be set. When you have enough equipment and time to create portraits, you can increase exposure by adjusting other shooting parameters. Low sensitivity can ensure that there will be no noise in the photo.
