Photography novices are confused before shooting. Most of them do not understand the essence of photography and do not understand the camera in their hands. Today, the editor will briefly explain it.
1. Read the product manual carefully
and fully understand the model and characteristics of your camera, how to operate it, and these basic knowledge. For photography beginners, product manuals are the best enlightenment teachers.
2. Do not be superstitious about the automatic mode
The parameter settings of a digital camera that are closely related to the imaging effect generally include: sensitivity, exposure, and white balance. The most commonly used mode by beginners is the AUTO mode. In this mode, the above three parameters are controlled by the camera itself and cannot be changed manually. For example, in some environments with relatively large light, the camera's automatic exposure may not be accurate enough. We can make appropriate exposure compensation adjustments in the P program automatic exposure mode to achieve the ideal value. In addition, when shooting at night, if you use automatic ISO, the camera will often use the highest sensitivity to ensure the shutter speed, resulting in serious noise. In fact, we can completely adjust the sensitivity and turn on the built-in flash according to the light conditions at the time.
3. Master the photography sensitivity
Set the sensitivity
ISO sensitivity is an index of sensitivity to light. The higher the sensitivity, the more sensitive it is to light. Generally speaking, when shooting moving objects or low-light situations, the higher the sensitivity, the better. However, under high sensitivity, there are more image noise signals and the clarity is reduced. On the contrary, when the sensitivity is low, the image noise signals are reduced and the image quality is delicate, but it is not suitable for shooting moving objects or low-light environments.
A simple way to take good photos without using flash is to adjust the ISO. Of course, if you increase the ISO setting, the graininess of the photo will become more serious, which requires the user to flexibly control it according to the situation at the time. As we are familiar with traditional cameras, ISO sensitivity indicates the film's sensitivity to light, with values such as 100, 200, and 400. The larger the sensitivity value, the more suitable it is for use in dimly lit places, but it will lose the vividness and natural feeling of the color.
