The Usage of Exposure Mode

Digital cameras, there are many kinds of preset patterns to choose from, the preset program allows you to select the appropriate shutter speed and aperture to photograph. For a beginner, these patterns are very useful. Not only will that, in order to capture some quick shots, some professional photographers choose the default mode. You need to understand and familiar with all kinds of patterns in the camera, but keep in mind that different camera preset pattern may be slightly different. The following are some of the most common:

No.1 Automatic

Automatic exposure by the camera to choose the best shutter speed, aperture, sensitivity and flash Settings, you need to do is aimed at the subject and press the shutter. If you don't know anything about photography had to quickly get photos, so it is very good. Under the condition of light during the day, so we can pictures exposure is very accurate. You can make these pictures fascinating canvas prints to decorate a room. But in the light is not uniform, the camera may be unnecessarily have flash.

No.2 The portrait mode

Portrait mode will be the subject of "thinks" it's going to shoot in the foreground, the selection of the shallow depth of field to ensure focus on character and the background is blurred. If think the camera is dark, may flash. In the strong sunshine and cast deep shadows, flash is very useful. Portrait mode usually performs better when the light is enough.

No.3 Macro mode

If you want to shoot some objects smaller than your hand, macro model is very useful. Macro mode can't help you take great pictures, unless you use a macro lens. Macro mode is suitable for use in a bright environment; it will set a shallow depth of field, focused on the object. Therefore, when the light is dark should use a tripod. You need to be very careful, accurate focus, because the macro mode is usually very shallow depth of field, can tolerate error is smaller.

No.4, Landscape pattern

Landscape pattern is usually set a smaller aperture (larger number aperture) to make the picture from prospect to infinity can be clear imaging (on the old camera, "infinity" symbol "up"). You can use this model to capture a lot of beautiful scenery photo which will be backpacks on canvas prints. The landscape pattern is more suitable for a wide Angle lens, also suitable for use when the light is enough. Flash when camera think prospects darker, but you can manually turn off the flash.

No.5, The movement pattern

Sport is the activity of fast rhythm, so model can choose high shutter speeds, such as fixed-point 1/500 ~ 1/1000 s. High shutter speed can be instantaneous dynamic solidification, this means that it is not necessary to have flash, this model is also suitable for the day. Sports model suitable for high-speed continuous shooting mode, you can capture a series of images in midair.

No.6 Night portrait mode

In night portrait mode, the opportunity to try to balance the dark background and foreground subject of the relationship between the exposure, to shoot to clear background, need to have a big enough aperture to get enough light. But at the same time also needs to have flash light face, fuzzy slow shutter can be avoided. Some night portrait mode can flash twice, in order to create unusual double exposure effect. With this method, you can try to take some night portrait for friends or family, and transfer them onto canvas prints which will be the best gift.

No.7 The advanced mode

Most digital SLR camera and several model represented by the letter - manual (M), aperture priority (Av), shutter priority (Tv or S) and procedure (P). Manual mode allows the photographer to manually set any parameters of the camera; Aperture priority mode is decided by the photographer aperture, the camera automatically set the shutter speed; The shutter priority mode by the photographer set the shutter speed (for example, when shooting moving object), then the camera automatically set the aperture. Program exposure mode and automatic mode is similar - aperture and shutter speed is set by the camera, but a photographer can adjust the function of the film and record.

Conclusion: Some people think only amateurs can use default mode, in fact, in some cases if we are in a hurry to shoot, no time to manually adjust the parameters. Using different patterns can teach you on how to make the ideal set under different circumstances. If you doubt, also can use automatic mode first and then manually adjust.
