How to set shooting parameters of SLR camera

Most people are attracted by the charm of SLR cameras and their accessories. It is perfect and magical, which makes us treasure and cherish it. We observe, view, measure light, measure distance and focus through it, and then press the shutter. Click? A sound? Instantaneous art was born! The following are my carefully recommended shooting parameter settings for SLR cameras, hoping to help you.

shooting parameter setting

1. Aperture priority is mostly used when shooting portraits and landscapes. Aperture priority is to manually define the aperture size, and the camera will determine the shutter speed according to this aperture value. Because the aperture directly affects the depth of field, this mode is most widely used in ordinary shooting. When shooting portraits, I usually use a large aperture and a long focal length to blur the background and get a shallow depth of field, which can highlight the subject. At the same time, a larger aperture can also get a faster shutter value, thus improving the stability of hand-held shooting. When taking pictures of scenery, I often use a smaller aperture, so that the range of depth of field is wider, which can make the distant and nearby scenery clear, and this is also applicable when shooting night scenes.

2. Shutters are mostly used to shoot moving objects, such as sports, moving vehicles, waterfalls, flying objects, fireworks, water droplets and so on. Contrary to aperture priority, shutter priority is to obtain aperture value through camera metering under the condition of manually defining shutter. Shutter priority is mostly used to shoot moving objects, especially in sports shooting. Many friends find that when shooting moving objects, the subject is often blurred, which is mostly because the shutter speed is not fast enough. In this case, you can use the shutter priority mode, roughly determine a shutter value, and then shoot. And the movement of objects is generally regular, then the shutter value can also be roughly estimated. For example, when shooting pedestrians, the shutter speed is almost 1/125 second, while shooting falling water drops takes 1/1 second.

3. Portrait shooting. First of all, to use telephoto, 3-4 times telephoto is very suitable for taking portraits, and the wide-angle end will make the portraits somewhat deformed and unsightly. More than 4 times or even longer telephoto will make the faces too flat and not vivid enough.

Secondly, the aperture should be given priority, and a large aperture should be chosen. A large aperture can make the shutter faster, reduce the shaking, and blur the background as much as possible. It is best to choose spot metering, spot metering on the face, and use exposure locking. Because other metering methods are easily influenced by the color of clothes, the face exposure is abnormal.

finally, composition. Portraits should account for 1/3-1/2, and the face is in the upper 1/3 (from the bottom). The portrait taken in this way will be vivid, have visual impact and make people look good.

4. How to shoot macro well. Taking a good macro requires skill in lighting and composition. What we need to master is how to shoot the macro clearly, not to paste it. Just pay attention to the following two points. First, use a tripod. The hand is unstable, and you always see a paste after zooming in, so the first one is to use a tripod. Secondly, use a selfie machine. We found that even with the stand, it still brought the shaking when pressing the shutter. The best way is to start the self-timer

5. Use of exposure compensation. Press the-key, and the exposure compensation adjustment bar will appear. Press the left and right keys to adjust the positive and negative compensation and size, one third at a time. Press the-key again after adjustment. So, how to apply exposure compensation? Generally speaking, in the white environment, the metering is low and needs to be increased, and vice versa. On-site shooting skills

1. How to shoot children indoors. First, give priority to the aperture and adjust the aperture to the maximum; Secondly, arrange the light. Although we can't use the flash, we can take the children to a brighter place near the window. If we can use a desk lamp at night, we can wait for the light. Children often move around, so you can consider focusing manually. First, lock the spot light, adjust the focal length, and then press the shutter half-press, waiting for the child to have an interesting and lovely expression and quickly press the shutter.

2. What can I do to blur the background? First, the aperture is given priority, and the aperture is adjusted to the maximum (that is, the value after f is the smallest, such as F2.8); The bigger the focal length, the bigger the blur, the better; The person or thing who arranges the foreground is farther away from the background, and the farther away it is, the better; If the above is still not ideal, we can do it through post-processing until we are satisfied.

3. How to shoot a baby. When shooting a baby, remember to attract him with something that interests him, and you can shoot a more natural expression.

In order to protect the baby's eyes, it is best not to use a flash. You can adjust the sensitivity to 2 and shoot in the light. It is best to hold the child in a well-lit place. If the weather is bad, you can use a desk lamp to light it. If you must use a flash, you'd better cover it with a piece of tissue paper or gauze. The shooting distance is 5 cm to 15 cm, and telephoto is the best. You can observe the child's face from different angles and try to find a better angle.

4. Shooting from the tour bus. When we travel, the time in the car is also an important part of the trip, so it can also be a good shooting time. The same scenery, taken from the moving car and taken outside the car, often gives people different feelings. When shooting from the inside to the outside in a moving car, you should pay attention to the following points:

① When shooting, don't put your wrist on the window frame or the backrest of the seat, because the car will always tremble when driving, which will easily cause a virtual image like hand tremor.

② Don't shoot near the window where the sun shines, because it is easy to have white clothes and other reflections on the window glass. You can ask for a temporary change of seat and come back after the filming.

③ For sightseeing buses, the most suitable seat for shooting is the front seat. First, because of the wide field of vision, and second, because the front glass is often cleaned, it is the cleanest. Moreover, the vibration of the front seat is relatively slight than that of the back seat. Precautions

highlight the main body. Before shooting, do you want to be like before painting? Idea? Consider what is mainly shown in the picture and where the subject is arranged. Then through the light, color, lines, shapes and other modeling means, to achieve the purpose of highlighting the main body. 2

visual balance. A photo with a balanced composition can give people a sense of stability and harmony. There are two kinds of balance: symmetric balance and asymmetric balance. Asymmetric balance composition is often more dynamic than symmetric balance composition. The size, shape, weight and direction of the scene, as well as M8 color, have an important influence on the visual balance.

the virtual and the real set each other off. Virtual reality refers to the degree of clarity and ambiguity between the subject WX1 and the foreground and background of the space. The techniques used are nothing more than hiding the virtual and revealing the real, alternating the virtual and the real, supporting the real with the virtual. Its purpose is to highlight the main body, render the atmosphere and enhance the sense of space depth. Reality mainly represents the subject of the subject; Imagination is mainly to show the companion of the subject to set off the subject, which is an important link in the artistic conception of the picture.

Pay attention to the composition of rhythm and melody photography. The subjects appear alternately in the same or similar form and are repeated in an orderly manner, thus forming rhythm; If the rhythm shows dynamic changes such as lines, comfort, harmony and ups and downs, it becomes a melody, thus making the picture beautiful, lyrical and smooth. Rhythm and melody are important links to deepen the theme, which are included in the contrast and tone of lines, colors and light.
