Digital Camera Setting

Know the Features / Settings on Digital Cameras

Before we learn about digital photography is useful to know in advance the features / functions / modes that exist in digital cameras, almost all types of digital cameras are now equipped with fashion, and fashion itself is divided into AUTO mode, SEMI FULLY AUTO mode and MANUAL mode.

Below are described the functions of the existing modes:

AUTOMATIC MODES

AUTO MODE:

I think about the auto mode need not be described in detail for nearly all digital camera users to use this mode for taking photos.

With this mode when the camera is directed to the object which we will take, the camera automatically selects the shutter speed (the speed of opening and closing the shutter), aperture (diagfragma / small large aperture shutter), ISO (sensitivity image sensor to light), white balance, focus , and the flash is something to take pictures dimaksud.Biasanya with this mode will produce good pictures in any situation.

But keep in mind with auto mode sometimes the camera can not automatically produce an image like what we want, therefore plus multiple modes / functions that exist in auto mode.

Portrait MODE:

portrait mode

When the object image will take a close-up, move the setting on a digital camera in portrait in portrait mode automatically mode.Secara, the camera will select a large aperture (large aperture shutter), which means that the main object of the image we're going to focus while the background becomes out of focus / blur.

To produce good pictures using the portrait mode, we must be close to the object which we will take the good with the way the zoom or close to the object, for example if we are going to take a close-up of someone, just take a picture of the face to the extent of the shoulder, then the result will face will be the focus and the background out of focus / blur.

MACRO MODE:

macro mode

Almost the same as portrait mode, but the macro mode is more suitable for taking photos of small size objects such as flowers, insects or small objects lainnya.Setiap digital cameras have different capabilities including macro focus distance differences as well (the average distance of focus for point and shoot camera is 2-10cm).

To take a picture macros needed stability in holding the camera as if it moved slightly from the focal distance then the resulting image will be out of focus.Maka usually necessary assistance for taking macro tripod, and in addition the built in flash is not recommended, because the result image will be over exposure / too bright.

LANDSCAPE MODE:

Landscape mode

When in portrait mode and macro mode the camera will select a large aperture, then in landscape mode the camera will select a small aperture, which means the image we will take the focus from the front (foreground) to the (background) or in other words all the images that will capture tips looks sharp.

It is suitable for taking a broad view of the image.

SPORTS MODE:

sport mode

Sports mode / action mode is designed to take pictures of moving objects, sepertiorang running, racing cars or objects that are moving the other.

The purpose of the sports mode is to make an image of a moving object with a sharp caught (freeze the action), we can try to take pictures of people being jumped.
NIGHT MODE :

night mode

Night mode is enabled for image capture in low lighting situations, usually at night, and the necessary camera stability when using night mode because if there is little movement of the resulting image will blur.

SEMI AUTOMATIC MODE

When in auto mode, the camera will think for themselves and determine the setting by itself according to the circumstances surrounding the light by setting semi auto / semi-manual, we will determine the rest of the settings and the camera will adjust the setup with yanga light conditions exist.

The following are the modes that exist in the semi-automatic mode:

PRIRORITY APERTURE MODE (A or AV)

In this mode we will choose the size of diagfragma aperture / shutter on the lens and the camera will adjust the ISO setting and shutter speed with sendirinya.Bukaan diaphragm / shutter on the camera display is the F / number, eg f/4.0, f/4.5, F/5.0 etc. up to F/32.

The smaller the number on the F / number means the greater the aperture on the lens diaphragm (if we choose the F / number of small means we will get a small focus area as well, an example for close up or macro, because we only want to focus only on the face and background be a blur)

The greater the number on the F / number means the smaller the lens opening in the diaphragm (with a small aperture means that we will produce images that focus from front to rear, sample landscape photos)

SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE (S or TV)

Shutter priority to aperture priority almost the same, except that here we choose the speed / pace and close the shutter the camera will adjust the aperture setting, ISO automatically. Shutter priority on the camera display will be shown with numbers representing the speed that we choose, for example 1 / 400 ", 1 / 250", 1 / 100 ", 1 / 60", 1 / 30 "and so on up to 30".

If we would take pictures of objects that move and want to make the object a "freeze" or silent so we use a high speed (fast shutter speed).

Slow shutter speed is usually used in cases where the light around us less (dark), slow shutter speed can also be used to create a blur effect on a moving object, for example if we take the waterfall by using slow shutter speed (between 1 / 5 "to 1 / 15 ") then the water will appear as white as cotton.

Note:

if we use a low speed, then the necessary stability in holding the camera or use a tripod so the camera does not move, because the slightest movement at low speed will produce a picture out of focus.

PROGRAM MODE (M)

Also called "Program AE" (program auto exposure / auto exposure program). function is similar to fully automatic, but here we can set the white balance, flash, ISO, etc. manually.

FIELD OF AUTO-DEPHT (A-DEP)

By using this mode of image objects from front to back will focus on its own, with a half-press the shutter we can control the focus as we want.

FULLY MANUAL MODE

MANUAL MODE (M)

By using the manual mode we freely control the settings according to our will, but keep in mind that we need to think in using the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, WB, flash and other lighting to produce a sufficient, not too dark nor too bright . To use the manual mode is required in the habit of exercise and control the camera.
