How does Canon 60D take photos with blurred background?

Background blur is the so-called blur effect, and the so-called blur is that the shot object exceeds the depth of field of the lens. To achieve the blur effect, you can't do without the large aperture of the lens. Usually, the larger the aperture, the smaller the depth of field and the larger the blur range.

If you want to blur the background with Canon 60D, you need to turn on the aperture. Take 18- 135 as an example, turn the aperture to the maximum, use the telephoto end of the lens (that is, turn the front half of the lens out completely) and then focus on the model to take pictures. The background is blurred. The background should not be too close to the model, for example, if the model is against a wall or a tree, the objects beside it should not be blurred.

In addition to controlling the aperture size and blurring the background, 60D can also use macro mode, portrait mode and telephoto lens.

Skills of using aperture

Close-up: When shooting portraits, the focal length of about 85mm can blur the background. F5.6 is suitable for people and travel photography. Taking tourist photos is not allowed to prepare slowly. You must react quickly. Moderate aperture can make those eye-catching subjects have enough room to play.

Under the medium aperture, you can respond according to different light conditions, narrowing or increasing the aperture. The shooting mode (landscape) found in many digital cameras uses a medium aperture. In order to accurately control the aperture size, you should choose the Aperture Priority (Av) mode, or simply use the manual mode for adjustment.

In order to get the best aperture value, professional photographers usually choose a set of aperture ranges. They first switch to manual mode, and then set the aperture to a median value. Next, press the shutter several times, and then increase or decrease the aperture to repeat the shooting.
