If you are starting photography, it is difficult to know which settings are perfect to get good results. Lordless motifs, an overactive sky and unwanted motion are some examples that may be wrong.

So that you do not lose yourself in the depths of possibilities, we have some suggestions from our new Special issue for beginners is not photographyWhich can help them. Professional photographer Sandra Petrovitz takes her on an exciting journey from page eight through Motif Worlds. Use the specified parameters to test. Then avoid how the result changes. In this way they learn and develop in their photography.
Portrait photos
Set your autofocus in such a way that it recognizes the model’s eye so that the attention is perfect. A viewer always discovers a sharp eye in a picture, immediately becomes blurred. Keep an exposure measurement on the spot measurement so that you measure the face of your model nor too bright nor too dark.
You avoid the speed in the image by adjusting the shutter speed to about 1/200 seconds. You can choose an aperture depending on how much blur in the background independently. The following is applied here: Small F -Number is more pronounced. The ISO value should be as low as possible.

For pictures, the focus point should always be on the model’s eye, as long as the person can be seen from the front.

Landscape shots
Here high number of apprts are important so that you get enough sharpness at the entire depth of the scene. If, as mentioned above, you become more blurred through small aperture, you can get the opposite with large numbers. So choose a value between f/8.0 and f/13 for fast recording.
If the exposure time is longer than 1/50 seconds (this information varies with your image stabilizer and your focal length capacity), then use a tripi to be on the safe side. It enables you to have a long exposure time of several seconds, even in bulb mode. By hand, such long exposure recording over time is always out of care. Keep the ISO price as low as possible, but with a high number aperture you have to increase it slightly.

To participate in sports shots
It is particularly important for sports shots that they use constant autofocus (AF-C). So that meditation can always adjust to the correct position of the figure, as it is in speed. The speed of the shutter should be 1/100 seconds or less so that the background is blurred when followed by the figure.

To do this, follow a point on the figure with the selected focus point and try to keep it as equally possible. This is successful when you swing the camera with your motifs with your motifs with your motifs. Adjust the speed of your kunda into your game shape or vehicle. After the first successes, you can increase the shutter speed to get more speed in your pictures.
The aperture is not of great importance, but a little more than F/9.0, as the expanded depth of the area helps achieve a slightly better results. They accordingly customize the ISO value, it should be as small as possible.

Night shots
Around 6400 high ISO value help to strengthen the light falling on the sensor, which makes the pictures possible in the dark. You should open an aperture as far as possible, which re -optimizes your light output. To do this, choose the smallest number of aperture available for you: f/2.8 or less ideal. The shutter speed should not exceed 1/50 seconds while taking pictures. If this is not possible, it is better to use a tripod. If you want to keep the ISO price low, long exposure is also available.
With a picture, spot measurement is the best option for exposure measurement. With a little available lights, it is important that your main figure is correctly exposed. If your autofocus also works in the dark, you should use it. It works better and sometimes worse.
Night shots with artificial light
If your photo has artificial light sources, white balance is of great importance. Set it between 3500 and 4500 Calvin, so that your photo does not look very hot or too cold. If you want to make a track in the picture, the exposure time should be between 30 seconds and two minutes.

The white balance is deliberately chosen so that the image does not look very hot or cold. Light marks are generated from 30 seconds locking zets.
