​Master the camera Settings make you easy to take good scenery

How to set the camera in the end, canvas prints in order to let the front of this piece of good mountains and good water into the lens? The following will start from the focus mode of shooting scenery, the EV exposure method, and the shooting mode of dynamic scenery and static scenery, to tell you that this way you can get a good picture!

Choose the best way to focus

Current autofocus systems can focus in almost total darkness, canvas printing or continuously focus on a bird in flight, and automatically select which part of the scene to focus on. Some newer systems can recognize faces and focus them first, or automatically choose the best focus for multiple faces at the same time. To sum up, all kinds of focusing modes have their own advantages. It is suggested to select the appropriate focusing mode for the object to be shot.

Mode

Single autofocus: single autofocus for still subjects. Aim at the subject and press the shutter button half way. The camera will focus once.

Continuous autofocus: split canvas prints for moving subject whose focus distances changes constantly? If you keep pressing the shutter button half a second, the subject will be continuously focused.

Manual focusing: set the lens focusing mode switch to <mf>, rotate the lens focusing ring for focusing, and confirm with the naked eye whether the subject in the viewer becomes clear.</mf>

When to use AF and MF

Generally speaking, the basis of photography is to focus accurately. When photographing mountains, lakes and other static landscapes, single autofocus can be used; Continuous autofocus is recommended when shooting themes such as free cars and sports.

With a single autofocus, the camera will automatically focus the object when the focus overlaps the subject. When the shutter is half pressed, the focus position is locked and the picture can be recomposed with a fixed focus. If continuous autofocus is used, the subject's movement must be tracked from the viewer.

Manual focusing is required when the following situations may not be successful:

Low contrast body

The subject in low light

A subject that is strongly backlit or reflective

Near and far subjects simultaneously override the auto focus

Repeating patterns

Differences in focusing position and imaging

Different focusing positions will also change the impression of a photo. Even for the same picture, the focus position will make a big difference to the impression. When the focus pair is close to itself, the background will be blurry and the focus will be clear. The farther the camera is from the background, the more blurry the background becomes relative to the distance taken. So if you want a clear background, keep it close to your subject. In addition, when the focus is at the far end, the blurred foreground can bring out the sense of distance of the subject. This method can be used when emphasizing the sense of spatial distance.

The exposure mode

Having decided on the metering mode, the next step is to choose the correct exposure mode. When shooting a dynamic scene, you can choose the shutter prerequisite mode that can determine the shutter speed by yourself to accurately catch up the action. Aperture priority mode, which can freely control the depth of field, is more suitable for shooting static scenes.

Auto ISO

In the digital age, the speed of light can be changed by adjusting the sensitivity of a light-sensitive device (CCD or CMOS) to light. Cameras can directly change the ISO, now to get different levels of exposure, some advanced camera even when insufficient light at the scene, automatically increase the sensitivity of the sensor, which is Auto ISO (automatic sensitivity function), the shutter time can be shortened to handheld work safety shutter (later), avoid causing hand shake.

Exposure compensation

Depending on the intent of the presentation, we might think that the picture would be better if we could increase or decrease the exposure, which is usually a subjective influence. Sometimes it's not the camera's metering system that's wrong; it's the fact that it can't read your idea. At this point, as long as the exposure is reduced (minus eve or negative compensation), the image will be darkened, large canvas prints for sale and increase the exposure (plus eve or positive compensation) will be bright, which can increase the creativity of the work. If you're not sure what the best exposure is at the moment, you can shoot with the surround exposure and then pick the best image later.
