How to shoot people with Canon camera and how to set up Canon 6d portrait?

1, choose a fixed focus of 50 or 85, which is closest to what people see.

2. Set the camera to AV file and aperture priority file. The stronger the effect, the smaller the aperture value, whereas the larger the aperture value.

3, white balance, if possible, you can buy a white balance mirror to adjust the white balance, if not, you can test the best white balance through white balance to prevent serious color cast.

4. Adjust the exposure value, fill the light for the subject according to the principle of white plus dark subtraction, or test by exposing the periphery. '

Canon 6d portrait settings:

1, set to AV gear, and the button in the center of the left shoulder turntable of Canon 6D fuselage can unlock the rotating turntable.

2. Turn the small dial near the shutter to adjust the aperture value. If you shoot a single person or multiple people on the same plane, you can open the aperture value to the maximum and realize the "background blur effect" of shallow depth of field. If it is a group photo of many people standing in front and back, it is suggested that the aperture value should not be too large (generally 5.6-F8 is enough) to avoid image blurring caused by some people not being in the depth of field.

3. Set the photo style: Select the portrait, under this style, the camera will automatically optimize according to the skin color of the person.

Note: the setting of photo style is only valid for pictures taken in JPG format. RAW format is the optical information of the original picture and is not affected by the setting of photo style.

Extended data

Canon camera takes some portrait photos or group photos, and the aperture is as large as possible. Whether it is day or night, after the large aperture blurs the foreground and background, it can highlight the position of the subject in the picture, so that people can understand the theme of the picture at a glance.

And at present, most commercial photographers and amateur photographers also use large apertures in most cases. Of course, at night, the facula effect created by the large aperture can also make the photos look more high-end and atmospheric.

Because of the high light input, the large aperture can match the higher shutter speed, and it can also show better results for travel snapshots. Many people like to jump up and take some snapshots when traveling. It is a very good choice to come back and look back or be an avatar. At this time, we need the cooperation of large aperture and high-speed shutter to help everyone achieve shooting.

Small aperture can capture the effect of stars, which can bring a good feeling of light irradiation both during the day and at night. Therefore, even in the daytime, taking pictures of people with a small aperture can have unexpected effects.
