Know your camera.

Do you have a DSLR camera, but you don't really know what all the different concepts and programs mean? Then there is useful knowledge below.

Camera / House

The camera or the house as it is also called. Here you find the program wheel, screen, slider button, editing menu and where you connect your lens.

Objective

The lens must be connected to your camera body.

The lens determines how much the camera can zoom in and out. But it also helps determine the quality of the image.

The lenses can be divided into groups:

White angle lenses

Zoom lenses

Fisheye lenses

Macro lenses

Flash

Most Digital cameras have a built-in flash that pops up when extra light is needed. You can also get an external flash, which gives a better result, as they often have several setting options.

for example, setting direction, brightness and speed.

Filter

Filter is a ring consisting of either clear or dark glass in different strengths. It can end the lens and allow the lens to receive the light in several ways.

There are blah. filters like:

UV filter: Protects the lens

Pol filter: Removes reverberation from eg. windows, glasses, etc.

ND Filter: Makes the image darker, useful when taking landscape pictures and using longer shutter times.

Auto (AUTO) Auto Program, the camera itself will "try" to set the aperture, shutter speed and ISO for the correct lighting. Only use the auto program to take pictures of a "fast" snapshot, where you do not have time to set the camera manually. For example, for parties, or the like

Program Automatic (P)

Program automation, or P, is an excellent basic program. The program adjusts the settings according to conditions, and you can quickly set them yourself.

A quick shot from the hip will often achieve the optimum exposure.

If the camera does not adjust well enough for shutter speed relative to focal length, you can adjust ISO until you get the correct setting.

ISO affects how sensitive the camera is to light.

Low ISO value: 100 - 800 Here it requires a lot of light from the outside, and best picture quality.

High ISO value: 800 - 3200 This does not require much light from outside, typically for evening / night photos. But on the other hand you get a murky picture.

The values typically range from 100 to 3200.

Aperture (A)

Aperture is the amount of light that the camera shuts in when taking a picture. The lower the value, the more light enters at a time.

Example.:

When you set the camera to a low aperture value, a lot of light comes in at the corridor, making it advantageous in a slightly darker lighting.

Among other things, it is one of the ways to get a blurred background.

When you set the camera to a high aperture value, the camera shuts in a little light and can therefore be used when there is high-light / high light.

Closes speed (S)

Here you can set how long the camera is about to close when taking a picture.

Example.:

Short closing time minimize shake on the image.

Ideal for taking moving pictures.

A long closing time can be used to get a blurred background blurred background.

Manual (M)

Here, both aperture, shutter speed and ISO value are set, giving everyone the opportunity to get the perfect picture, but it also takes time.

Use manual if you are good at picking up a stationary item.

I will be approaching the various Programs & Settings options at a later time.
