10 incredible camera features

Now digital camera technology is more and more advanced, canvas prints whether it is a professional single-eye camera or a small camera, can achieve more and more functions, a variety of creative filter apply, image after the production edit, let everyone "camera in hand, fun" ah. Here are 10 things you can do with your camera.

Time-lapse photography: the compression of time and space, the condensation of a few days into a moment. A number of cameras have been published in the last year or so with time-lapse photography capabilities. As the name suggests, canvas picture prints time-lapse photography is the ability to fast-forward events over a long period of time, allowing the audience to see what is happening in a relatively short time. Such films, which used to be a series of still images taken at fixed points in film editing software and then played at a faster speed, can be recorded directly in some new cameras.

Sky clouds and changes in the morning and dusk, the busy street scene of the metropolis, the process of exhibition arrangement, etc., are important subjects of contemporary time-lapse photography. Usually need to use the foot frame fixed point shooting, focusing, exposure, white balance Settings, should be set before shooting. If you want to calculate how many pictures you have taken, large canvas multiply the frequency of the last video times the time of the film to get the total number of frames. For example, if 60 seconds were recorded at the frequency of 24fps, the total number of frames should be 24x60, or 1440.

Slow photography: instant extension, wonderful magnification

If we say time-lapse photography is "change the length into short", slow photography is "put short into long". In the past, we made this kind of film, usually using high-speed continuous shooting to capture the moment when the action occurs, and then entering the film editing software to string them up at a slower frequency to achieve the effect of slow motion playback. In some new cameras, this feature also has the function of slow photography directly.

The moment when the glass is broken, the moment when the flower opens, etc., are often unsightly to the human naked eye, while through slow photography, you can see the moment when the action is executed at a slower speed.

Panoramic photography: you can broaden your view even if you don't have a super wide Angle lens. When shooting the content of tourist scenery, often encounter the grand scene, let a person like it once into the camera, but the lens is not wide enough, and due to the geographical location of the relationship can no longer back view. At this point, if your camera has panoramic mode, that's it! But even without panorama mode, you can still get a panoramic effect -- that is, cut the 'panorama' into several pieces.

When shooting had better be able to have foot frame assist, and if collocation USES 3 directional head, operation rises should be more convenient. Under the same camera parameter setting and light line, capture three images of left, middle and right respectively, and then enter the editing software for post-production to connect the three images and combine them into a piece of work with a broad view. The effect may be better than the ultra-wide Angle lens, at least not to worry about the difference of the edge image.

Exposure zoom shooting: make ordinary scenes special

Those of you who have used Photoshop, are you impressed by the radial blur in the filter? It can create a special visual sense of focus, which is called "exposure zoom shooting" in photography, commonly known as "pull-out", such a photographic effect, can always make ordinary pictures become interesting.

Exposure zoom shooting, that is, zoom in the process of exposure, so that the image to the center of focus. The principle of shooting is very simple. You can do it in either the shutter prerequisite or manual mode, because only in these two modes can you fully grasp the shutter speed. Slow the shutter speed to more than half a second or more, as long as the exposure time is long enough for you to complete the zoom. When the camera is aligned, half-press the shutter, press again, and quickly turn the zoom ring to complete zooming! If you're afraid of losing your grip, use a leg brace. If you are outside with a lot of light, try setting the ISO and aperture to a minimum and using a polarizer or a dimmer to avoid overexposure.

Moonlight photography: capture and share the soft light of the moon

On the network like to take a camera "chase after the star" of photography players many, night exposure of the works of orbit nature is also many, but everyone had thought to take a look at the moon? Similarly, if you can have a long enough exposure time, any camera should be able to capture the effect of moonlight. First of all, you can first confirm whether your camera supports B shutter, if there is no B shutter, the lowest shutter speed can be a few seconds, generally recommended at least 30 seconds long exposure, the effect is better. If you're sure your camera can do long exposure, you're ready to shoot!

When shooting, frame the camera frame; turn the aperture to F4.0 and the ISO100. After the composition is finished, press the shutter and wait for the exposure to be finished. After viewing the result, adjust the exposure parameters until you feel that the light is exactly what you want. In addition, since the moon is far away, it may be difficult for the camera to automatically focus, so you can adjust to manual focus mode, and the focus to an infinite distance. After shooting, you may notice that the moon looks bluish or feels like it was shot during the day. Try adjusting the white balance and reducing the exposure to make it look more like moonlight.

Booked effect: highlight the subject, aesthetic photography elements

Many photography players, for shallow depth of field always have a lot of obsession and pursuit, no matter shoot portrait, sketch, street shot, and beautiful landscape can always create a beautiful feeling, more highlight the subject. You may be under the impression that you need a large aperture lens to achieve such a hazy effect, but in fact even a normal lens can be achieved.

The depth of field is affected by a number of factors, including the focal length and the distance between the subject and the background. Even if you have a small camera that doesn't exchange lenses and doesn't have a large aperture, you can still try to shoot people or things. Zoom the camera to the far end and adjust it according to your composition. If you have a way to choose your own aperture number, please turn it up to the maximum to get a better shot. For those of you, who don't have the right tone, feel free to shoot as long as you're zooming out to the limit, and you'll still be able to take some of the same shots with a beautiful shot. If you still feel the background is too clear, try increasing the distance between yourself and the subject.

Touch focus: slower, but more accurate

Now the digital camera generally has the automatic focus function, the focus system of the higher-order machine can achieve the state of fast and accurate, but sometimes it is inevitable to have the problem of focus shifting, especially in the camera RF range finder translocation, the focus will appear forward or backward. Although this shift is generally not noticeable, it is especially noticeable when shooting with a large aperture lens.

When encountering such a situation, you might as well try to use touch focus to save an emergency look, generally in Live View case start touch focus, is directly through the sensor itself to confirm the focus, less likely to appear focus shift, but the focus speed is relatively slow.

Intelligent P mode: under the automatic judgment of the camera, parameters can also be adjusted manually

Generally, we have the impression of "P" mode, that is, we leave the shooting Settings to the camera's own judgment without any adjustment. But don't say maybe you don't know, now many P mode, the camera still can adjust the aperture, shutter speed parameters, that is to say, when shooting in P mode, phase opportunities on the basis of the spot environment, a group of exposure parameters provide the photographer, if you think there is need to adjust, can do again to fine tune, more convenient.

Automatic ISO control: preset minimum shutter, and hand shock say goodbye

It is believed that many photographers know that the range of automatic sensitivity of the camera can be set by us. When we understand the picture quality performance of our camera at various levels of sensitivity, we may limit the range of automatic sensitivity to ensure the image quality. In some medium-high order DSLRS, there is also a minimum shutter value setting in the menu that adjusts the automatic ISO judgment range.

What does this feature do? It can help avoid the failure of shooting due to hand shock oh! As long as the calculated safety shutter value is set to the minimum shutter value, the "hand shock" effect can be achieved. However, this seems to work better with a fixed focus lens, which has a safe shutter speed of 1/ focal length (mm) second.

RAW file editing in camera: adjust exposure even if not through the computer

For some entry-level users, it is standard and unique to shoot RAW files and transfer them to a computer, then convert them to JPEG files with specific editing software for subsequent adjustments. However, in some advanced single-eye cameras, RAW file adjustment and editing is already available in the camera body, which allows users to increase or decrease exposure compensation, acrylic prints australia correct white balance, even apply different photo styles, and regenerate new JPEG files after editing.
