How to use Xiaomi 10 professional camera?

Open the professional mode, there are six settings, and I will introduce the functions and application scenarios of each setting in turn, so that you can easily learn to use the professional mode and set parameters to take pictures at will.

1. photometric mode

The mobile phone provides three metering modes, from left to right, namely matrix metering, central focusing metering and spot metering. Matrix photometry is a comprehensive photometry of the whole picture, center key photometry is a key photometry of the central part of the picture, and spot photometry is a photometry of selected points. For example, shooting a pure black background only leaves the main body, which can be achieved by spot metering.

2. Sensitivity (ISO)

Refers to the sensitivity of photosensitive elements to light, and the numerical range is generally 50- 102400. The smaller the ISO value, the darker the picture. The larger the ISO value, the brighter the picture, but the higher the ISO value, the greater the picture noise. In order to get a clear picture quality, the ISO value must be small, and the smaller the better, so the ISO value is generally set to 50 or 100.

When shooting night scenes in normal intelligent mode, the machine will adjust the ISO to a very high level, ranging from 500- 1500, which will make the night scene photos very noisy and rough. If ISO is set to 50 in professional mode, you can slow down the shutter speed to solve this problem.

More noise and poor image quality.

3. Shutter speed (seconds)

It refers to the time from opening to closing of the shutter. The numerical range is generally 1/4000 seconds (that is, one quarter of 1 second) to 30 seconds. Shutter is like blinking an eye. The faster you blink, the less you see. The slower you blink, the more you see.

We often say that the slow door/long exposure is to set the shutter time for a long time (for example, 0.5 seconds), and the shot is the paste effect, showing the motion trajectory. When the running water beats, it will have the effect of atomization. If you want to shoot moving objects clearly, you need to set the shutter speed very short (for example,11000 seconds), such as capturing athletes.

4. exposure compensation (EV)

Exposure compensation is a method to control exposure. Although it can improve the brightness of the picture like ISO, there are still differences. Exposure compensation is mainly used for scenes with inaccurate camera metering, such as shooting snow scenes and cross-reflecting large white snowflakes. The machine will think that the environment is bright, so it will automatically reduce the exposure and the snow will be gray. At this time, it is necessary to manually increase the exposure compensation, so that the photographed Snow White. In this case, improving ISO will not have a good effect, but will bring a lot of noise.

5. Focus mode (AF)

Focusing methods are divided into automatic single focusing (AF-S), automatic continuous focusing (AF-C) and manual focusing (MF). Automatic single focus is suitable for shooting still objects, and automatic continuous shooting is suitable for shooting moving objects, that is, focusing will automatically chase objects; Manual focusing is your choice according to the scene. Suitable for macro shooting of flowers and plants on the left and large scene scenery on the right.

6. White balance

Different light sources will have chromatic aberration, for example, tungsten lamp is yellow and fluorescent lamp is green. To eliminate the slight deviation caused by this light source, you need to use white balance, but I usually default, because in many cases the difference is not obvious, and the photo can be adjusted later.

Knowing the function of these six settings, we can match different parameters according to different scenes. Here, I list several common scenes that are not very good in the normal mode, and list the approximate interval where parameters need to be set in the professional mode for your reference.

1) backlight outline

Select matrix metering and aim the metering point at the light source (sun, street lamp, incandescent lamp, etc.). ); ISO is set to 50-100; S is set to11500-115 seconds; Other items can be defaulted.

2) Backlit portrait

Select matrix photometry, and aim the photometry point at the human face; ISO is set to 50-100; S is set to11500-115 seconds; The exposure compensation is reduced by one or two steps (i.e. -0.3 or -0.7) so that the background is not exposed; Other items can be defaulted.

3) Snow scene

Select matrix photometry; ISO is set to 50-100; S is set to11000-1/50 seconds; Exposure compensation plus one or two files; Other items can be defaulted.

4) Night view

Select matrix photometry; ISO is set to the lowest; S is set to110-1sec (tripod must be used, otherwise the picture will be pasted); Other items can be defaulted.

5) Capture moving objects (children, pets, etc.). )

Select the central button to measure; ISO is set to 50-100; S is set to11500-1/50 seconds; The focusing mode is automatic continuous focusing; Other projects default.

6) slow gate (also called long exposure)

Select matrix photometry; ISO is set to the lowest; S is set to 1/30- 1/5 seconds (you must cooperate with the tripod, otherwise the objects that should be clear will be pasted off); Other defaults are ok.

There is no tripod, so the main body is a little burnt.

7) Macro (flowers, insects, etc. )

Select matrix photometry; ISO is set to 50-100; S is set to11500-1100 seconds; Focus mode: select manual focus and move to the left; Other default values.
