How to know your digital camera?

Digital cameras are popular in our daily life, a record of people life bit by bit, transient picture had no, we should record the beautiful moments, can save a little memory. Aftertaste life. A good picture of how can get good? That is completely understand your digital camera, I've come to talk with you about how to learn, how to get along well with your digital camera.

When shooting photos of people in the room, we often use a digital camera 's built-in flash to flash, but if not properly use flash light source, often leaving unsightly shadows behind the main character, serious impact on the appearance. So, how to avoid or reduce the flash shadow phenomenon?

Let people try to stay away from the walls or objects

According to the projection principle of light, when the character from the walls or behind the object is close, the original indoor lighting and natural light can not irradiation or reflected to the personalities behind walls and other objects, when the strong light flashlight, will make the figures were taken leave flash shadows behind walls and other objects. So, in does not affect the composition of the circumstances, let people try to stay away from white walls or behind the object, to maintain a certain space and distance, flash shadow will be significantly weakened.

Choose the bright background

In the indoor shooting, we can use natural sunlight bright windows and doors as background, also can use lighting lamps and other existing, as the figures were taken to create a bright background, select the appropriate shooting angle, so, flash shadow will disappear in the bright background.

The camera's position to the high number of

In the room when using the flash, the camera's position is higher, is some, like flash in projection figure below behind, will be subject to block a part, looks not so obvious, to minimize the use of head-up or look up the camera. In addition, to avoid vertical picture composition, because during the filming of vertical amplitude, the camera to rotate 90 degrees, flash in the lateral position, make it easier for flash shadow falls on the characters on one side, leaving the black shadow a character profile consistent in the background. While in the banner photo shoot, the flash light is emitted from just above the projection lens, relatively weak.

The appropriate block flash

Because of small indoor space, the use of flash shooting distance, not only easy to produce a shadow, but may also make the face white, then, we can have a shelter astigmatism with white gauze, handkerchief paper, even the appropriate block flash, flash light becomes softer. Use the gauze fabric with duct tape in the flash outside (note don't block the viewfinder and focus hole ), if a layer of soft effect is not ideal, can add two layer and three layer. However, occlusion after the flash, flash intensity can be reduced, therefore, should be appropriate to increase the exposure value.

The use of slow sync flash mode

Indoor use flash photography, in addition to the flash light source, from the door into the natural light and interior lighting will, just because of two kinds of light source is weak, cannot let the main character has enough exposure. We can use the slow sync flash mode, use flash light source to illuminate the subject character, and then use a longer shutter ( 1/15 ~ 1 ) other still shooting indoors, you can use the original indoor light flash shadow. It is best to use a three foot when shooting, also can use the tables and chairs and other objects fixed digital camera, prevent the vibration, and the figures were taken to maintain the original position until the shutter closes in the flash light after.

Using the reflected light method

To adjust the direction of the flash or can use external flash ( installed on top ) digital camera, will flash lamp toward the opposite side of the characters or ceiling, walls and other white reflector, illuminated by light reflection from the figures were taken. This reflected the flash can change the illumination direction, from the original positive light into the front light or side light, scattering light and similar natural and gentle. Using this method to avoid the use of colored surface, because it reflected light will make pictures covered by a layer of special color. The external flash lamp as far as possible from the top of the camera is placed in a higher position, the reason for this is that flash exposure of an object view is similar to the angle of the sun, so that the shadow naturally falls behind the object, without disturbing the shadow. Of course it will wreck light exposure, the need to pay attention to the accuracy of.
