Skills for beginners to use Fuji s4530

1. If it's Xiaobai, don't use automatic gear for test drive, especially at night. You can try the scene mode in the sp file first, and then look at the role mode. You will find that the camera is not very difficult.

Step by step, don't take all kinds of special effects and photos as soon as you have a machine at night, but start practicing during the day, because it's easier during the day.

3. If you are at home, the various scene modes in the sp file can basically meet the requirements. If you want to practice photography, please give up aoto and sp files and don't use flash.

Practice directly from the m file. Started shooting manually, black and white, and it took two days to get the clue. In the initial manual photography, several factors were well mastered: iso aperture metering, white balance focusing, focal length and depth of field composition.

I am a photographer. I used to shoot blindly with a card machine and felt good about myself. Now use m gear, dizzy. Why are all the photos black? The machine is broken. No, the scene mode is normal. I still set it wrong.

I checked and found that I had to set the aperture and shutter. Press the+/-key trembling, and you can set it. Fortunately, this machine has two apertures. If the light is not good, use a larger aperture (in fact, the value is smaller), then use the up and down keys to adjust the shutter speed, let the ruler go to the middle, half press the shutter to focus, press the shutter when you hear the noise, and you will be ok when you see the picture. Not bad, haha.

The following is my experience (one week's experience for beginners, please clap a brick)

Beginners practice taking pictures according to the following principles: proper exposure, no paste (no shaking) and accurate focus. Good practice during the day, indoor or lighting environment can realize the experience of aperture and shutter.

1. Novices are struggling with the iso shutter aperture. I understand it this way: setting iso 64 before the camera takes a picture is the best picture quality, but it depends on the intensity of light, because it is not necessary to say 64 outdoors on a sunny day, 100 indoors on a cloudy day, and it can be within 200 if the light is dark, and then the aperture and the two apertures also depend on the situation. If the light is dark, the aperture should be large (the minimum value), and if the portrait background is blurred, the aperture should be as large as possible. Finally, adjust the shutter. The shutter depends on the position of the ruler. Try to adjust the shutter value until the ruler is adjusted to the middle. But I want to mention here that the shutter can be adjusted in a wide range, from a few seconds to 1 second in 2000. However, for beginners, it is best to keep the shutter within a safe range. I generally don't like to paste more than 30 files, some of which are to take care of the speed of the things being photographed. Especially at night, sometimes when the shutter is adjusted in the last step, if the shutter is found to be particularly low after the exposure is adjusted, such as 5 or 1 ",the hand-held photo will be burnt. At this time, we should consider lowering the iso and increasing the aperture, but the aperture of our machine is only two gears at the wide-angle end, so we can only adjust the iso. The larger the iso, the more blurred and noisy the photos are. It is recommended that novices switch to less than 400 and don't be high-profile.

Generally speaking, I picked up the camera in this order, ISO->; Measurement mode->; White balance->; Focus-> Aperture->; Shutter->; Aperture->; International Organization for Standardization.

After the above proficiency, I began to study the depth of field. I'm a little partial to taking pictures. It is said that taking pictures requires the depth of the scene to blur the background, so I specially studied it.

It's like this: the aperture is large, the depth of field is large, and the depth of field of the person being photographed is close-up. The longer the focal length, the shallower the depth of field. Then try to meet these conditions. The entanglement is that our machine aperture has two gears, and the adjustable range is small; If the focal length is too long, the characters will lose their three-dimensional sense. Not awesome.

A senior sent a post like this. If you shoot a person, the focal length should not exceed 6 times. If it is more than 6 times, the character will lose its three-dimensional sense. I tried 6 times focal length, large aperture and limited blur effect. Later, I turned over a lot of posts and found a bright spot of 4050: when the focal length is 8.3 times, the aperture actually has three gears, and it can be upgraded by one gear. I think this is a turning point for 4050 people. Let's see if we can tap this potential. However, the focal length of 8.3 times is far from that of people and needs to be tested. Send a test post in a couple of days.

The so-called intelligent mode means that the camera can automatically choose the appropriate shooting mode according to the situation of the scene and the subject. At present, some cameras have introduced this mode. Here is a brief introduction to several photography modes included in the intelligent scene photography mode.

Shooting at night

If you turn on the flash, the foreground will be bright and the background will be dark. This situation can be avoided if shooting in night mode. In night scene mode, the flash is turned off by default, and q is selected for long shutter shooting.

It's best to shoot with a tripod at night. If the sample is reached, a lower sensitivity can be applied to maintain the image quality. If you shoot by hand, the fierce face may be blurred. In addition, in order to reduce the jitter caused by pressing the shutter instantly, it is best to use timer flapping.

Landscape pattern

As the name implies, it is mainly used to shoot scenery. When using this mode to shoot scenic spots, the general camera uses a small aperture to obtain a larger depth of field. When shooting, the camera will focus in white motion, so that the photos taken are clearer in close range and distant view. The photos taken in landscape mode have good overall effect, bright colors and high contrast, but when shooting, be careful not to let the sun shine directly on the lens, and pay attention to the light in the scene environment.

The subject of portrait mode is human,

Its main features are:

First, cameras tend to choose a large aperture to blur the background and highlight people;

Second, slightly reduce the saturation of the shooting color to accurately restore the skin color of the character.

And if the flash is used in a dim environment, the red-eye prevention function cannot be enabled. In addition, if you take a portrait with a telephoto end, the portrait will be clearer and the background will be more blurred. At present, many camera levels have the focusing function of face recognition, which has stronger face shooting ability, such as exposure and white balance control for faces, which is more conducive to shooting faces.

Macro mode

That is, the photography mode of magnifying tiny scenes is mostly used to photograph tiny insects, dewdrops, tiny flowers and other objects. Generally, Dc can shoot macro, but using compact digital camera has more advantages, and the advantage lies in macro shooting ability. Because of its small photosensitive element surface and short actual distance between ccD and lens, it is very beneficial to macro shooting. Macro photography usually uses a large aperture, so that you can get photos with blurred background, shallow depth of field and prominent subject. Don't talk about some modes, just use them more. Intelligent mode is really convenient. I hope you can use the intelligent scene mode of Fuji s4050 more, and don't stick to those manual gears.

Photography mode is one of the most common and basic functions of digital cameras. Users can quickly switch to a specific photography mode according to their own preferences and shooting needs, and take good photos easily and conveniently. But not every user can achieve this ingenious function. Next, I will briefly introduce several common photography modes of digital cameras.

First, an easy-to-learn automatic photography mode.

AuTo mode is automatic mode, which is very convenient to use. Just set the resolution of the photo before shooting (if the memory card has a large capacity, it is recommended to shoot with the highest resolution), then observe the object to be shot on the LcD, and then press the shutter button to finish shooting. In addition, the user can release the subject whose image area is too small by pulling the zoom lever, and then shoot.

Automatic photography mode is more suitable for photographers who like easy operation and don't have high requirements for photo quality. Because this "fool-like" photography mode is very simple to operate, even the elderly can take good photos.

Although the automatic photography mode is simple to operate, it should be noted that it is different from the traditional film camera. When shooting, it is not enough to press the shutter twice. You should press the shutter half first, and then press it all after the prompt of successful focusing appears. Beginners must pay attention to this, and keep their hands steady when pressing the shutter, otherwise it is easy to have blurred and weak photos.

Automatic mode, to tell the truth, what I usually go out to play most is gear. Why? Because it is convenient, it is not necessary to debug the performance of parameters in different settings repeatedly in the same environment. I should believe that although the 4050 is a telephoto camera, there are many friends who use the automatic mode.

Usage skills of Fuji s4050 —— the relationship among aperture, focal length, shooting distance and depth of field. Undoubtedly, to solve this problem, we must have a very intuitive understanding of these concepts, and then you can really master the depth of field.

First: What is the depth of field?

Don't talk about technical terms, just talk about my understanding of depth of field. To put it bluntly, the depth of field is the clear range before and after the image in the photo. It is often heard that the background blur discussed by everyone involves depth of field. )

We know that there will be a relatively clear range before and after the topic of precise focusing. For example, for a still life, we mean that this person must be at a clear point, so at this time, we can say that this small object is in a clear range, that is, in the depth of field. Depth of field, that is, the depth of a clear scene. It is clear here because the clarity of the foreground and background is not as good as that of the focused object, but it can be accepted by human vision. If you can't understand, please look at the picture below:

This picture is an example of shallow depth of field.

Traditionally, this clear range is called "large depth of field" or "deep depth of field", on the contrary, it is called "shallow depth of field" or "small depth of field"

So what does the depth of field have to do with these three:

First: the larger the aperture, the shallower the depth of field, the smaller the aperture and the greater the depth of field;

Second: the greater the focal length, the shallower the depth of field, and vice versa;

Third: The farther the shooting distance, the shallower the depth of field, and vice versa.

Because the aperture of Fuji s4050 is not a fixed aperture, but the aperture value becomes larger with the increase of focal length, this factor restricts the application of this principle in portraits, so it is still difficult to blur the background of characters only by the configuration of cameras.

Usage skills of Fuji s4050 telephoto machine: how to shoot night scenes and the skills of shooting night scenes.

Many friends of Fuji s4050 telephoto machine will ask: How does Fuji s4050 shoot night scenes? What are the skills of Fuji s4050 shooting night scenes? Why is the night scene I shot with Fuji s4050 not as good as yours?

Don't worry, now let's talk about the skills of shooting night scenes with Fuji s4050 telephoto machine, and master seven skills. I'm sure you can shoot a night scene that will satisfy you.

Tips for shooting night scenes: bring your own tripod.

Fuji s4050 usually needs a long exposure time when shooting night scenes, so the camera should be hidden to take clear photos. In order to avoid damaging the photo effect by vibration, it is best to use a tripod to reduce shaking.

Tip 2: Turn down the brightness (ISO).

Fuji s4050' s high sensitivity performance is too poor. When iso is higher than 400, the noise is very obvious. Therefore, under the premise of having a tripod, we should use a large aperture and a slow shutter to obtain a lower ISO. Iso200 is recommended. Ensure that the picture has no obvious graininess.

Tip 3 of shooting night scenes: use a large aperture

Coupled with the low iso and the need for a large aperture, it has gained more light. Therefore, in a dark environment, a large aperture can allow more light to enter the lens, make the picture on the viewer clearer, and also slightly shorten the exposure time, which is beneficial to shortening the shutter.

Tip 4 of shooting night scenes: shoot with a small aperture

It may seem contradictory. Just now we talked about using a large aperture lens. Why do you say small aperture shooting now? There is a simple reason. The purpose of using a large aperture lens is to make it easier for photographers to see clearly when shooting, but the aperture is lowered for the following two reasons:

1. Small aperture can make the depth of field larger, so that the scene will not be blurred by the influence of shallow depth of field;

2. If there is light at night, small aperture shooting can turn the light into stars (Fuji s4050 must be equipped with a star mirror to meet the requirements), and the effect is more prominent.

Tips for shooting night scenes: slow shutter exposure for a long time

Slow shutter can be used to shoot car tracks, star tracks, waves and so on. Long exposure can not only smooth waves or record the trajectory of red taillights, but also make some light that is usually invisible to the naked eye appear, and the effect is absolutely charming. Due to the long exposure, we are also allowed to use a lower iso, which is one of the reasons to ensure that the low iso can also take clear photos when the light is insufficient.

Tip 6 for shooting night scenes: Set the white balance.

It is not recommended to use automatic white balance when shooting night scenes, because in dark environment, automatic white balance can easily become inconsistent, leading to color difference in photos. You can use the white balance of "fluorescent lamp" mode when shooting night scenes, but of course you should choose the most suitable mode according to the environment at that time. For the night scene shooting of large scenes, the automatic white balance is fairly accurate, but if the color temperature is found to be wrong, you may wish to switch to daylight or fluorescent lamp mode. Although the cloudy mode is a little far from the real color, the effect is acceptable if the personal preference is warmer. As for the incandescent lamp mode, it creates a cool choice.

Tip 7: Have a beautiful night view.

After mastering the above camera setting skills, you can only shoot a clear night scene but not a beautiful night scene, so only a beautiful night scene can shoot a beautiful film.

The above are several skills of shooting night scenes with Fuji s4050 telephoto camera. I found that many people are complaining about the poor night shooting of 4050. In fact, no one has mastered the shooting skills. I hope this article can help you take a good night view.

Photography Skills-Sunset Photography Skills

Preparation of sunset photography skills;

1. Where to find the sunset (shooting location) Field shooting: There are many places, such as paste, Shan Ye and grassland. They all have several common characteristics: broad vision, beautiful scenery and rich scenery. When shooting in the wild, choose a place with relatively high terrain, such as a mountain, and choose the angle of view from high to low, so that there will be no unnecessary objects blocking the sunshine near and on the ground when shooting, which is conducive to the performance of the main content. When the sun rises, the mountain peaks will have rich effects in the big backlight. City shooting: horizontal line is not desirable, it is best to go to high-rise buildings, and the sunset that can be photographed must be very layered.

2. The most beautiful sunset (shooting time) seems to be nonsense, but it is actually evening. Of course this is true, but in terms of seasons, spring and autumn are the most suitable. Why, because there are many clouds, you can shoot a sense of hierarchy and the picture will be beautiful.

1, How to capture the beauty of sunset (composition) First of all, understand the process of sunset: it is divided into four parts, from the sun to yellow, to red and long egg-shaped, and then disappeared on the horizontal line, and then the sky changed from red to purple and then to dark blue. After mastering this process, you can take a snapshot and wait for the photo.

2. Clouds are accompanied by sunset. Clouds are deeply intoxicated by the beauty of the sunset, so you must reduce your exposure and enjoy the ambiguity between clouds and sunset. 3, the use prospect! The foreground can solve the monotony of the picture, and it can be applied to branches, flowers and small ornaments in your hands. But remember a principle, don't overexpose, rather underexpose. Why? Because the former can be supplemented by software, the latter is not good even if it can be supplemented.

4. Is it near the water? Show a beautiful reflection! Many excellent photos of sunrise and sunset are taken by the water, because at sunrise or sunset, the sparkling water reflects beautiful rosy clouds, and the sails on the water add a little vividness to the picture, which is really a good photographic subject. Shooting the reflection of the water surface will add a lot of color to the photos of sunrise and sunset, and a calm sea surface or lake can reflect the scenery in the sky. It presents a mirror-like image, which is always disturbed by the breeze blowing over the water. Leave more dazzling light on the water, and draw a light path from the horizon to the foreground of the picture. When the sun goes down, this light path will extend to your eyes. Therefore, the first thing to pay attention to when shooting at the water's edge is the composition factor. Has the horizontal line been set before pressing the shutter? Have I included all the scenery I need? These are all noteworthy issues. When metering, the average metering mode is generally selected, so that the light distribution of the whole picture can be uniform without overexposure or underexposure.

5. How to set the white balance of the camera: the daylight white balance screen is yellow, the incandescent lamp is blue, the daylight white balance is recommended in the sunset, and the yellow tone is suitable for the sunset; Metering mode: let's play it freely and see the effect of performance, but I prefer spot metering; Mode: I am more free. I don't stick to the rules. I will break the rules myself. A photo that expresses my thoughts in various ways is a good photo.
