There is no color in camera shooting.

Well, hello, I hope I can answer this question.

First of all, the D90 is a classic machine, not to mention how high-end, very cost-effective.

Compared with Canon, the color of low-end Nikon machines is slightly dull, and Canon machines are generally brighter. But Canon's is softer and Nikon's is sharper. This is not to say who is good or bad, but each has its own characteristics and advantages.

But when you look at photos on the computer, you say "black". This is probably an exposure problem, which has nothing to do with the color, but if the exposure is not normal, it will affect the color. Now I'm not sure if your exposure is normal, so I can't conclude that the color setting must be wrong.

But you asked about the color setting, so I will give you my personal opinion:

About LCD screen and computer monitor: the LCD screen of the camera can't be used as the basis for judging color and exposure, otherwise why do commercial photographers use Apple computers? That is to say, the exposure and color of the camera LCD screen are not accurate (due to the size and resolution, etc. ). Take Canon 7D as an example, the screen color is super good, but it is slightly inferior to the computer.

Accurately judge the color and exposure of photos, and look at them on the computer. But there are also requirements for computer monitors. I don't know what computer monitor you are using. If it is a non-Apple notebook with less than seven or eight thousand yuan, the color and exposure will not be mentioned, which is not accurate at all. If it is a desktop monitor (the old one is very heavy, commonly known as big ass), it would be better and the minimum requirement, provided that the color of the monitor is corrected. The most professional words are Apple notebooks, desktops or all-in-one machines and so on. The color is super positive, and it is also a necessary equipment for professional graphic workers. Apples for commercial photography.

Of course, if it is not a business with low requirements and limited funds, it is also possible to add a desktop monitor to the desktop host.

Next, let's talk about the camera:

First of all, Nikon D90 is a low-end machine. As mentioned above, it is classic and cost-effective. So you can't ask too much. In addition, the 18- 105 camera lens is also a relatively low-end lens. What you should pay special attention to is that the performance of this outdoor scene is not very good, especially when it is backlit and cloudy and foggy, it will be gloomy and feel airtight.

It is ok to set the color to SRGB. I don't know what mode you are using (the mode dial on the left above the camera). This is divided into creative, professional, semi-professional and idiot. Different modes have different settings, some of which are beyond your control. M file is the most professional. Because you didn't mention any patterns, I won't say more.

I suggest you look at the optimization standard settings in the menu. There are standard, portrait, neutral, monochrome and so on. If there is no foundation in the later period, you can choose the appropriate style according to your own choice. For example, people are photographed with portraits, landscapes are photographed with landscapes, and flowers are photographed with bright colors. . . . But to put it bluntly, these are all fool modes. If you are more professional, use the standard model. I don't know if you have noticed that when using any style (the same function in Canon cameras is called "photo style"), you can go in and set "sharpness contrast and saturation" in detail, and you can make a beautiful film by making good use of these details. For example, shooting scenery can increase sharpness and saturation, shooting girls and children can reduce contrast and sharpness, and can harden personality. . . . . If you take a portrait, professionally speaking, it is recommended not to order too much. For example, saturation is not easy to increase, otherwise skin color will be cast. Generally speaking, the sharpness and contrast of shooting characters should not be increased, and it is not easy to adjust later. If you want to increase the contrast and saturation, you can do it later, which is more flexible.

The most professional setting is: nothing. Yes, the photo size is generally the largest, and the format is generally "JPEG". However, for commercial photography, including photo studios and studios, the format is set to "RAW", and the professional and safe ones will be set to "RAW+JPEG" format. This format has many advantages and limited space. Let's say the biggest difference between four points and JPEG. 1: This set photo is very large, at least dozens of times larger than the simple "JPEG", and it is normal for a photo to reach 100MB or more. 2. The photos in "RAW" format cannot be viewed by ordinary photo browsers, nor can they be edited and modified by any software. Are you talking about picasa or camera RAW? 3. This "RAW" format is the original format without compression, that is, the format file without any processing by the camera, and the color and exposure are not processed, so it is relatively large. It also looks gloomy and has no hierarchy. 4. In this format, all manual settings of the camera are invalid, such as optimizing the standard size color. By default, the size is the largest. Only focusing and exposure are effective. You just need to adjust the focal length and exposure properly. . . It seems speechless, but its most professional place is also here, because after importing into a computer, it is much better than JPEG with a little adjustment when converting with software. The later changes of "JPEG" are very limited and not so real. The converted software can use camera RAW or CS5 or higher. Generally, you like to use "LR" software. Just search it and it will be OK. If you can't find it, I can give you one.

In addition, for your {{}, is it completely true color to take pictures with the Great God SLR? }}} Let me explain this problem. This is a misunderstanding. Most of the colors we see with the naked eye in the real world are inaccurate, but why can't we feel them? Because our naked eyes can adjust themselves, just because of habit. But the camera can't automatically adapt and adjust, it will restore the true color of the object. Although the high-end camera automatic mode can automatically distinguish the scene and correct the color, it is not the most accurate, just whistling. For example, in a room with lights on at night, we feel normal to the naked eye, but it is not normal at all. It's obvious as soon as the camera is shot. Not to mention exposure, we can see clearly in both dark and bright environments, because our eyes can adjust themselves, but if we can see clearly, it is that the camera exposure is abnormal, because the light can't meet the minimum requirements of exposure at all, and it can't adjust itself. Don't say it's unrealistic to use P-block or slow door. )

The color-related setting is the white balance in the camera, which is the color temperature. I wonder what is the white balance in your camera? I suggest you use the "daylight mode" in the future, that is, the one in the sun. Everything else is chosen according to the scene. This can cope with most scenarios. Or you can use the k value, which is in the white balance. If the value of k is set to about 5300, it will have the same effect as "daylight mode". . . . . . However, none of them are the most accurate.

So can the camera set the color completely accurately? The answer is yes! We only need to correct the white balance (under normal exposure), which is also called preset white balance. This is a bit complicated. Nikon D90 preset white balance is more complicated.

This piece involves white balance and color temperature. Because it is more professional and has a lot of content, I won't go into details. We'll talk about it when we have a chance, or you can search the information online when you have time.

What I want to tell you is that the camera can restore the colors in the real world after it is set correctly. But you know, what we see is not necessarily the most accurate.

Summary: Generally speaking, it is recommended that you use the "standard" in the optimization standard, and the white balance can use daylight mode or K value of 5300. If you want to be the most professional, use M file, RAW format and preset white balance.

Share the camera concept with some "novice" friends;

1 Actually, in photography, the camera is the simplest. As long as you master (set) three points, it will be OK. First, focus accurately. Second, the exposure is accurate. Third, the color setting is accurate. Some people may find it ridiculous, but it's not that simple. In fact, these three points contain a lot of content, and contact alone is enough to learn for several years. If you fully understand these three points, your photos will not be so bad. Play these three points well and you will catch up with professional photographers. . . . . Nothing else. Really, other functions are auxiliary. For most amateurs, they are quite useful, but professionals cannot rely on them. These three points are basic skills.

2. All the automatic "except focus and exposure" functions on the camera belong to the fool mode, and they are all howling heads, which is not the key to determine the quality of photos. I suggest you play with the camera for whatever reason, don't be too addicted to automatic things, and don't be too entangled. You have played the above three points well, and there is not much difference. The better the camera function is, the simpler it is. The worse the camera function is, the more patterns there are. . . . . Like cell phones, you know.

3. Later stage is the biggest helper of auxiliary photography. No matter professional or amateur, the later foundation must be learned. There is no end to learning, take your time!

4. I feel that after so many years of photography, there has always been an unspeakable regret that there is no SLR available in China. . . . The only popular brands to choose from are Nikon and Canon, which are also from Japan. . . . . Alas, uncomfortable. . . . Not much to say, you all understand.

I haven't answered questions here for a long time because of my busy work. I accidentally saw your question today, and I'm so verbose. I don't know if I have solved your doubts. I hope I can help you a little. I wish your life more colorful!
