Photography skills: the use of SLR cameras and matters needing attention

With the progress of the times, SLR cameras are now very common, but many users often don't know how to use them correctly and scientifically when buying high-quality SLR cameras, and the photos taken are not as good as those taken by card machines. Let's introduce: the use of SLR cameras and matters needing attention.

How to use a SLR camera:

Hold the SLR correctly. Hold the camera in your right hand, the lens in your left hand, zoom and focus with your thumb and forefinger. When shooting, keep your face close to the back of the camera, put your arms on your sides, keep breathing evenly, and gently press the shutter.

P file: the program automatically exposes (choose this mode when you don't know how to set the parameters).

Television file: shutter priority exposure automatic exposure, generally used for long-term exposure, such as night scene, starry sky shooting, etc.

Av: automatic exposure is mainly based on aperture, and the aperture size can be set by yourself.

Macro mode: flowers, plants, fish and insects can be used

Motion mode: It can be used to shoot moving objects or people.

Portrait mode: shooting static figures

M gear: completely manual, and novices can ignore it.

1. Shoot still small things (close-ups), such as flowers, birds and insects.

Using Av files,

The aperture is at or below f5.6, the focal length is above 50, the best shooting is within 1m, and the background is blurred! Iso 100 in good light and less than iso400 in poor light. Step 2 shoot and kill

Basically, the aperture within f5.6 and the focal length above 50mm are used. The shooting distance depends on the whole body, bust and big photo, so the background is blurred and Av files are used.

Step 3 take pictures

For Av files, use an appropriate aperture above f8, and the focal length is arbitrary, but generally the wide-angle end is distorted, so use it as appropriate.

4. Take pictures of running things

Good lighting: Av files, aperture size should be handled properly; A large depth of field effect can be obtained with an aperture above f8, and a shallow depth of field effect can be obtained with a small aperture. If you want to shoot a very dynamic effect, you can use a TV file. The shutter is about 1/30. When you press the shutter, the lens moves behind the object at a suitable speed, which will produce a very dynamic effect! Poor lighting: only handle it as appropriate, plus use chasing light.

What do beginners need to pay attention to when using SLR:

One: Understand the basic operation of the camera.

As a novice who just bought a SLR camera, you must read the manual attached to the camera carefully, and read the whole book two or three times. You should know how to turn on the camera, how to take pictures, how to shift gears, how to focus manually, how to import photos into the computer and so on.

Two: Don't change the lens frequently.

In the process of using a SLR camera,

Don't change the lens on your camera frequently, because it is easy for dust to enter the camera when installing and disassembling the lens, especially outdoors (in some complicated and dirty places). 3: Don't put the camera in a damp place.

If the camera is placed in a humid place for a long time, the lens is prone to mildew, so try to put it in a dry place, especially in summer and rainy season. If possible, you can choose to buy a drying box and put the camera in the drying box.
