1. What is M Mode

Camera M Mode: the three elements of exposure (adjustment of photo brightness) aperture, shutter, and sensitivity. Hue (adjust photo color), color temperature, Baipingjie. M mode allows you to freely adjust every parameter of the camera, including aperture, shutter, sensitivity, white balance and other parameters. It is highly flexible and can be adjusted to achieve the desired effect. Adjustment method: First, turn the dial on the top of the camera to the M position, and then adjust the camera parameter interface.

2. Three elements of exposure in M ??mode

M mode: controls the amount of light entering the lens. The smaller the value, the brighter the picture. The shutter controls the time the camera takes in light. The faster the shutter, the brighter the picture; Sensitivity: The degree of brightness of the photosensitive element to light. The larger the value, the brighter the picture. Adjust the aperture. If you want to take a blur effect, you must first determine the aperture. The aperture is a device in the lens that controls the amount of light entering, represented by f. Here everyone must know a definition: the smaller the aperture f value, the more light enters, the larger the aperture, the better the blur effect; the larger the aperture f value, the less light enters, the smaller the aperture, the worse the blur effect.

Adjust the shutter. If you want to capture sports or take slow-motion photography, you must first determine the shutter. The shutter is the device that controls the exposure time in the camera, represented by S. Here everyone must know a definition: the larger the shutter value, the more light will enter, and the slower the shutter speed will be; the smaller the shutter value, the less light will enter, and the shutter speed will be faster; except when taking slow shots The shutter cannot be lower than /125S, otherwise the picture will be blurred due to hand shake. If you find that when the shutter is set to /125, the picture is still very dark, and the aperture has been opened to the maximum, then you need to increase the ISO.

3. Commonly used shutter speed settings

Daily shooting: 1/60s~1/250s, shooting fireworks: 3s~5s (tripod), shooting babies/pets: shooting greater than 1/400s Starry sky: 15S~25s (Tripod), Capturing people: greater than 1/400s, Capturing light painting: 8s~30s (Tripod), Star chasing/athletes: greater than 1/500s Star track: >0.5 hours (Tripod), Capturing cars: greater than 1/500S.

4. Commonly used aperture F value settings

Group photos: F8-16, portrait shots: F5.6-F11, landscape photos: F8-18, fireworks/light painting/stars Track: F11-20, night portrait: F1.0-4, static people: F1.2-4, food/still life: F1.8-11, car capture: F5.6-F11, starry sky: F1.4-5.6 , Flower close-up: F1.2-4.

5. Adjust the sensitivity

Before adjusting, we need to adjust the ISO sensitivity according to the shooting light environment. Here everyone must know a definition: the higher the sensitivity, the better the photo. Brighter, while the photo quality will be worse. The lower the sensitivity, the darker the photo and the better the photo quality. Low sensitivity has better image quality, while high sensitivity has poor image quality (photos will be noisy).

6. Summary of scene parameters of sensitivity ISO

When shooting, I recommend shooting in weather with sufficient light. In good weather, the ISO can be controlled at around 100. Here everyone should pay attention to not exceeding 6400 ISO when shooting night scenes. High sensitivity will cause a lot of noise in the photos. If it is still very dark, you can only use a fill light to fill in the light, which can ensure both image quality and brightness.
