How to set parameters when shooting in backlight?

1, aperture priority mode can handle both silhouette photos and backlit portraits. Set the camera to the aperture priority exposure mode, and set the aperture coefficient to about F8, so that all the scenes except the subject can be displayed normally.

2. If you don't want to show the scenery, you can lower the aperture coefficient slightly so that the depth of field only covers the subject. Setting the sensitivity within 400 can not only meet the reasonable exposure of photos, but also reduce noise and improve image quality.

3. Use the manual gear to adjust and lock the exposure value and aperture.

Extended data:

Because the subject is just between the light source and the camera, the background brightness is much higher than the subject. Because the background occupies a larger frame in the picture than the main body, the automatic exposure detection program of the fool camera will order the camera to expose according to the light condition of the background, which will make the main body underexposed and lead to the failure of photography.

Backlight conditions greatly increase the difficulty of automatic exposure of a fool's camera, so generally speaking, photographers should try to avoid shooting objects under backlight conditions.

However, there are still some ways to avoid the failure of taking pictures in backlight. If the subject is not far from the camera, the photographer usually turns on the flash to improve the brightness of the subject; If the distance between the main object and the camera exceeds the effective range of the flash, the second exposure method can be used to shoot.
