Brief introduction of Canon A650 IS (data evaluation picture sample)

Canon A650 is

Canon A650 IS can be regarded as a hybrid upgraded version of A640 and A7 10 IS, which makes Canon A series have an excellent model with many technologies for the first time. Canon A650 IS adopts12 megapixel CCD, 6 times optical zoom IS optical anti-shake lens, 2.5-inch rotatable LCD screen, and colorful shooting modes and functions.

Canon A650 IS is an upgraded version of A640. It is a12 megapixel model with rich manual functions. The A650 not only added 2 million pixels, but also changed the CCD area from11.8 inches to11.7 inches, and added a DIGIC III processor. In appearance, A650 is a combination of A7 10 IS and A630. A650 IS can be described as the pinnacle of household cameras, and its performance parameters are close to those of Canon professional digital camera G9.

First, the basic shooting operation

1, introduction of different focusing modes

Canon A650 IS has four focusing modes, each with different characteristics and skills. Let's take a portrait picture as an example to see the difference between the four modes.

Face priority focusing, fast face recognition

A650 is good for facial recognition.

Canon's original AiAF function

Priority is given to identifying areas with high contrast in the image, which may lead to deviation.

Central focus, which fixes the central part of the focused picture.

It's in my mouth, and I have to compose again after focusing.

Free moving focus

You can choose to focus at any point in the picture, but it is not suitable for quick snapshot.

2. How to set "Custom White Balance"

Compared with Canon's digital SLR, Canon's ordinary DC setting "custom white balance" is quite convenient. Take Canon A650 IS as an example. Just aim the lens at a gray card or white paper, then enter the white balance setting, select "User-defined Mode" and press DISP. Press the key again, wait a moment, and the camera will complete the custom white balance setting.

Aim at the gray card or white paper and make sure that the middle of the picture is covered with gray or white.

Click DISP. Key to complete the setting.

3. Make good use of the four "safety" functions

Canon A650 IS has four "safety" functions, which can make shooting more accurate (exposure, focusing, etc. ).

Automatically change the shutter or aperture to match the flash.

Automatically change inappropriate aperture or shutter settings.

Automatically improve ISO to prevent image blurring.

After manual focusing is completed, the camera will automatically correct the focus.

1. Safety flash: When the flash flashes, the camera will automatically change the shutter speed or aperture value to avoid overexposure and clear the bright spots in the scene. Make sure that the flash control is set to "Automatic" in advance in TV and Av shooting modes.

2. Safe offset: Suppose the user sets F4 aperture (Av aperture priority mode, ISO fixed) when shooting, but the scene light is too dark, and the camera will automatically change the aperture to the maximum aperture to get a brighter picture. However, many netizens have reported that Canon's safety offset can easily make the exposure inaccurate in some cases, so if you have a little shooting experience, it is recommended to turn off the safety offset.

3. Automatic ISO offset: When the ISO sensitivity is so low that the shutter speed cannot maintain a clear image, the machine will automatically increase the ISO value (when it is set to the "ON" state); Or give a prompt on the screen, and the user can press the multi-function custom key to improve ISO (when it is set to "custom key").

4. Safe manual focusing: When using MF for manual focusing, the camera will automatically correct the focusing when the shutter is half pressed to ensure the focusing accuracy.

Second, the basic guide to various photographic subjects

1, Canon A650 is a landscape shot.

Aperture: F5.6 Shutter: 1/20 1 sec ISO: 100.

It is easier to get good picture quality with a tripod.

Bright colors can be obtained by using bright mode.

1, the first thing to shoot a landscape is to have a good composition and proper exposure. Putting Canon A650 on a stable tripod helps to adjust the composition carefully and solve the problem of long shutter caused by small aperture shooting.

2. Generally, a smaller aperture is used for shooting landscapes (the larger the F value, the smaller the aperture), which is generally below F5.6. A small aperture will extend the exposure time, and placing it on a tripod can avoid the blurring caused by hand shaking.

3. Canon A650 IS has a variety of color modes to choose from, which can easily control the effect. Taking landscape photos is naturally a "bright mode", so that you can get photos with more saturated colors and higher contrast.

ISO shortcuts are often used.

The lowest sensitivity will have better image quality.

4, landscape photos must pay attention to details, and because they are placed on a tripod, you can ignore the shutter speed and press the ISO key to set the sensitivity to the lowest ISO 80.

Usually shoot with Av files.

Left and right keys to adjust the aperture size

5. Generally, the aperture priority mode is adopted to take landscape photos. By controlling the aperture, the depth of field is large enough and the foreground and background of the landscape photos are clear enough.

Evaluation photometry is generally used to shoot scenery.

If it is too much trouble, the preset landscape mode is also very useful.

6. When shooting a general scene, you should choose the evaluation metering mode to make the whole picture evenly exposed. For some occasions with large light, such as dusk, it is necessary to choose the metering mode according to the shooting intention. Evaluation photometry is globally balanced; Partial photometry only considers the center position; Spot metering is a very small position in the measurement picture; The focus of the central government is to pay attention to the central government while taking into account the surrounding areas of the picture.

7. If you want to set it simply, just turn the mode dial to landscape mode, and the camera will make a more reasonable judgment.

Aperture: F4.8 Shutter:1100 sec ISO:400.

2, Canon A650 is macro shooting.

Aperture: F4 shutter:1100 second ISO: 100.

It's easy to control the composition by taking a macro shot with a tripod.

A650 is a flip screen, which is convenient for macro shooting.

1 Like landscape shooting, macro composition is the most important part, and a slight shake during shooting will affect focus and composition. Putting Canon A650 on a tripod makes it easy to take a stable image.

2. The most attractive thing about Canon A650 is to flip the screen, so you can still easily take pictures at difficult shooting angles such as high and low angles. Let's take advantage of A650.

The flip screen is also quite useful in hand-held shooting.

Of course, you have to turn on macro focus mode.

3. Of course, macro focusing mode of A650 IS should also be turned on. The closest focusing distance of A650 is 1cm, which can be very close to the subject. At this time, be careful not to let the subject touch the lens, otherwise it is easy to scratch the lens.

Select "Move freely" in the autofocus box.

Press the exposure setting key twice to move the focus freely.

4. It is usually difficult to focus freely on a tripod. At this time, you can choose to "move freely" to focus on any part of the picture, so that you can focus accurately even if the subject is not in the center of the picture.

Generally, spot metering is better.

You can also use bright mode or turn off my color.

5. Macro photos generally only require accurate exposure of the subject, and the spot metering of Canon A650 IS can come in handy.

6. For macro shooting such as flowers and plants, you can choose "Turn off my color" (in fact, it is the standard color mode) or "bright mode" to shoot, and the color is more natural and vivid.

Aperture: F2.8 Shutter: 1/39 seconds ISO:80

3, Canon A650 is a night shot.

Aperture: F8 shutter: 4.0 seconds ISO:80

Be sure to use a tripod.

I should turn off my color.

1, the night scene needs a tripod to provide more stable support than the daytime landscape photos, so the first step is to put the camera on the tripod. Scenery and macro don't necessarily need a tripod as long as there is enough light, but there must be a stable platform for long exposure at night.

2. Just select "Turn off my color". Choosing bright mode at night may bring unreal and difficult color cast problems.

Evaluation photometry is usually used.

The lowest sensitivity should be used to prevent noise explosion.

3. It is easier to get accurate night scene effect by using evaluation photometry, but it is still necessary to make good use of exposure compensation or directly use M as manual exposure.

4, shoot the night scene with a tripod, of course, with the lowest ISO.

Anti-shake should be turned off (set "Off" in the above picture).

If you need to take portraits at night, it is recommended to turn on slow synchronization.

5. Anti-shake function will cause interference (that is, the picture will be blurred) when using tripod for long exposure shooting, so the anti-shake function should be turned off.

6. If you want to shoot people at the same time with a flash, you should turn on the "slow synchronization" function, so that people and the scene will be well exposed, provided that people try to stay still during the exposure.

If the tripod is stable, a 2-second selfie is the first choice.

Of course, you can also use custom selfies and some continuous shooting.

7. In order to avoid the vibration of the fuselage caused by pressing the camera shutter, we need to set a delayed selfie when shooting the night scene. If the tripod is stable enough, you only need to set a 2-second selfie. If the tripod is unstable, you can use a delay of 5 seconds or more to counteract the vibration.

Aperture: F4 shutter:1/4s ISO:80

4, Canon A650 is portrait shooting.

Aperture: F4 shutter:1/25s ISO:80

Since portrait shooting is generally hand-held, anti-shake should be turned on.

The focus assist light indicated by the arrow is dazzling, so try to turn it off when shooting mm.

1, usually holding a camera when taking portraits. At this time, the anti-shake function will have a great effect and should be turned on. It is recommended to use the setting of "only when shooting" here. The anti-shake function only works when the shutter is half pressed, which can save electricity.

2. The auxiliary focusing light of Canon A650 IS is bright and dazzling, and it works well when shooting scenes, but it often makes people feel dazzling when shooting people. So when shooting people, if it's not very dark, turn off the auxiliary focus light.

When taking portraits, of course, we should focus on the face first.

A650 is fast and accurate in facial recognition.

3, portrait shooting, of course, you need to use the face priority autofocus of Canon A650 IS, which not only has fast recognition speed, but also has good tracking effect. Of course, you can also choose other focusing methods. Please refer to the introduction on the first page for details.

Under the premise of clear imaging, it is sometimes necessary to upgrade ISO.

It will be more accurate to use spot metering

4. Although the lower ISO can get finer picture quality, when shooting by hand, the picture may be blurred in a dim environment, that is, hand shake (anti-shake function is not omnipotent), so it is correct to improve ISO appropriately.

5. The spot metering function can determine the exposure setting according to a point in the picture. When shooting people, we can get more accurate exposure by measuring the light based on the face.

Use the exposure setting key when shooting and adjust the exposure compensation.

If the effect is too dark or too bright, please adjust the exposure compensation immediately.

6. Take more shots when shooting people, adjust the exposure compensation according to the brightness of the picture, or directly use M-file manual exposure to obtain accurate exposure pictures.

Aperture: F4 shutter:1/59seconds ISO:80
