Whether you are new to carefully read through strongly recommended. . .

lawful information from Canon, the author: Takahashi Liangfu



Author: worked in advertising photography studios, promulgating houses, is a freelance photographer. The journal as the center, lively in the advertising, stage, edible and other broad zones of photography. From the perspective of the common enthusiast story written warmhearted saluted. Published more than on the camera and photography books.

Introduction
since the inception of digital SLR cameras, the photography industry has suffered tremendous changes. We tin use a digital SLR film cameras can no do a lot of jobs that, this is an undeniable fact. Shooting itself this easier. Many digital SLR camera inherits the elementary building of film SLR camera, the operation too has a lot in prevalent. For Canon EOS array used to use the film SLR camera consumers, the main operating Canon digital SLR camera does not take also long. For those who have been able to clutch the small digital camera because folk who just must learn digital SLR cameras and perception of the solitary mode of action, so namely they ambition emancipation to shoot the photos is also not laborious. It can be said, anybody can lightly learn to use digital SLR cameras. Able to now confirm the shooting finished,GHD Purple Butterfly 2011, the user's photographic technology ambition progress rapidly, even in a short time into the intermediate level. Moreover, the characteristics of digital SLR cameras is the ability to change the most lens, which makes the broader world of photography. The EOS DIGITAL series cameras can use lenses and other accessories are very wealthy, so learning to use the series SLR photography is no better alternative. People with a variety of handy paragraph 60 upon the body and the lens ambition be provided as the user's photographic profession, mighty advocate. If the book is placed in hand, seeing science, I believe everybody in a very short period of time is not lost to vocational photographers arrest the photo.

image sensor area of ​​effect on the impact of virtual digital SLR
cameras and small digital camera comparison, not only the outward of distinguished, more importantly, the basic structure of its inner that there are fundamental differences. The main difference is for receiving light, the image of the image sensor size difference. 1/2.5 inch-type typically used with image sensors compared to compact digital cameras, digital SLR cameras generally use the APS-C size image sensor has nearly 13 times the area. Therefore, the electronic performance also has numerous advantages. Icon photo imaging visual effects background, the main difference lies in the different mist effects, and can be replaced lens digital SLR camera at this point compared with the small digital camera also has a very distinct advantage. Image sensor size mist effects caused by differences in the focal length of the lens has a very large relationship. The smaller image sensor size, the shorter the lens focal length (wide-angle disposed),GHD, which makes it difficult to obtain a satisfactory background blur effects. When shooting with digital SLR cameras,GHD Red Straighteners, it will feel different with the usual picture, which is different from the image sensor size is a direct interlock.



lens can be replaced to a great number of lens digital SLR camera


bring infinite possibilities of digital
originated in the film SLR cameras, SLR cameras, it also has to meet a variety of interchangeable lenses by shooting needs. The small digital camera, lens and body as a entire could not have interchangeable lenses. Regardless of how high exaggeration zoom lens, always has its limits, particularly its wide-angle capability is languid. Digital SLR cameras can use lenses from ultra wide-angle to super telephoto lens a variety of lenses, the number of authentic Canon lens for more than 60 models. Number of lens aperture along to their sunshine and was detailed breakdown of different characteristics. To take full advantage of these lenses, digital SLR camera is the real charm. When you want to slightly enlarge some subject or want to shoot the entire scene, just replace the lens can easily obtain the desired effect, it can be said that the advantages of digital SLR camera, one of the largest.

rapid shutter feedback to capture transient dynamic
compared with small digital cameras, digital SLR cameras, 1 vantage is that the action short tarry the process. Compact digital camera is ordinarily observed through the back of the LCD monitor after shooting, strictly speaking, the picture is not taken to the moment you reception the curtain button the screen, but slightly backward the picture, it is because the LCD monitor observed on the screen apparatus is converted into electronic whistles generated, so will have lag. The digital SLR camera is the optical viewfinder to scrutinize the substantial image, so the electronics will not have the time difference, the present observed image and the subject is no inconsistency in the actual action. And regardless of the curtain alternatively mechanical structure such as the speed AF function, Digital SLR cameras have personalty of perfect speed convenience, has not missed the opportunity of high-performance instant the shutter. Even a small digital camera is difficult to shoot scenes or diagrams amusements moment expressions, digital SLR cameras can easily capture. At the same time, because better rendition image processing, digital SLR cameras shooting interval is shorter, to a definite period of time take extra pictures, so the subject can be shot on high-speed movement to improve the best photos probability. As noted above, the digital SLR camera features and performance in a variety of small digital camerIt’s about time the differences, the chart features to ensure not miss the moment of capture opportunities.

The structure of digital SLR cameras and photographic principles
Principle photography
Principles of data recording data records
process: the image sensor → → image processor card. Until the stage to the image processor used to complete imaging, data warehouse memory card to play the role only.



the image sensor converts light signals to produce a fundamental part of the necessitated image data. But at this stage not complete imaging.

image processor

image sensors based on the data transportation to generate digital images. In this section a variety of image processing.



bear the memory card retention the image data generated by the mission processor. In this section is not related with the imaging operation.

What recording quality?
the so-called quality refers to the image processor image data generated by the size and quality.

transmitted to the image sensor data, as specified in the manner for processing, way to obey with requirements of the quality.
image processor for image data obtained from the sensor without processing, and storage records directly to save the form. After the microcomputer need to be adjusted for quality.

the image data compression to save for a certain size of the storage record form. Processed by the image processor, do not use the computer for processing.

Example: EOS 450D recording quality (the number of 12.2 million efficacious pixels)
recording quality mode records the number of pixels Use
JPEG Large / Fine 4272 × 2848 pixels A3 + print
JPEG Large / Normal ; 4272 × 2848 pixels A3 + print
JPEG Large / Fine 3088 × 2056 pixels ; A4 print
JPEG Large / Normal 3088 × 2056 pixels A4 print
JPEG Large / Fine ; 2256 × 1504 pixels L size prints
JPEG Large / Normal 2256 × 1504 pixels L size prints
RAW 4272 × 2848 pixel post-processing
RAW + JPEG Large / Fine 4272 × 2848 pixel post-processing

principle structure of the lens effect of the lens is for digital SLR cameras, as its very major for film cameras. It not only bears the work of accumulation of light to form images, but also bear the focus and so on.
Lens with image stabilization feature is the lens anti-shake function can be generated based on hand-shake compensation exercise by moving part of the optical lens, thereby eliminating the jitter triggered the screen shots. The agency can prevent hand-shake to get sharper images, and because of the optical system, real-time mobile, it also has a viewfinder image can improve the stability and performance advantages of auto focus.

built-in image stabilization lens body is marked with Image Stabilizer (Image Stabilizer) abbreviation IS. The lens of

What is EF-S lenses
EF-S lenses are designed for use APS-C size image sensors of digital cameras designed special lenses. Image surround (the lens image size) is smaller than the regular lens,GHD Green Butterfly 2011, the lens has to dilute the volume of advantages. EF-S in

EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

EF-S lenses including wide-angle zoom lens EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, standard zoom lens EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM, EF-S 60mm macro lens ; f/2.8 USM Macro and other goods.

tips lens hood function
installed on the front of the camera lens hood with the function stop stray light. Although the surface of the lens wrapping to discourage reflection, but the best in strong backlight conditions to install hood to avoid light reflection chaos. Recommended installation is often the best.
camera holding Machine
holding machine with the correct posture will grant us not only to the successful completion of filming, but will greatly influence the quality of the pictures taken. To prevent hand-shake, the camera should be to master the correct method of holding machine.

support for the basic method

lateral support machine

held in the horizontal machine, shoving the bottom of the left lens from the camera to remain stable .
gently constrict the arms appear to prevent the camera vibrate.

holding machine tips the bad access as

open arms like wings, the upper body in an unstable state. Do not just use your arms to support the camera, you should use the whole body to remain stable.



longitudinal vertical holding unit holding unit, the hand holding the camera can deal at the top can also be located in the bottom. But when the hand holding the handle at the top of the arm is easier when you open, so special attention.

Tips wrong in holding Machine

opened his arms above This support unit is very unstable. It can be said with no difference between a single handset.



shot from low in the lower center of gravity when shooting left knee should be supported on the floor, with the right knee support arm, which prevents vertical hand-shake there.



real-time display mode shooting mode with Live View shooting, more prone to hand-shake. Should be clamping weapon, supporting the camera from under, in order to maintain stability. Learn the basics of composition
If you already know the basic operation of the camera, you need to do is determined by observing the viewfinder picture composition. Composition in general there are so few key elements: the subject position, the screen anyway, the proceeds range of the screen size.

determined to photograph the direction of frame composition and the broad sense of the screen when taking pictures
methodology and composition to consider when Painting constitute exactly the same screen. The photographer can imagine the camera's viewfinder into the sheet, and how to balance a photo placed on the subject has become fussy. Sometimes we like drawing on sheet to put up, and occasionally cross over it, like, take pictures when we can also choose to shake-hands grip or vertical shot. Also, the subject placed in the position of the picture which is completely dependent on the photographer's own, should be based on the size of the subject to arrange the situation in and around the screen. In addition, the broad sense of the picture is also an important element when the composition is to shoot into the picture as a whole or only part of the subject will be enlarged, different adoptions will make the overall atmosphere in the photo is very different. Composition is not a characteristic value can be fathomed in some things, but the photographer according to its own

curtate photos to show the photo broad sense

landscape photography in accordance with the basic technique - shooting horizontal charting method. Landscape photographs similar to human's natural field of vision, to give people a sense of stability. In this photo, near the canoe and the backdrop contrast,GHD Deluxe Midnight 2011, produced a pleasing traction.

vertical screen shot to show feeling of depth

interception with the vertical landscape shot, the picture tends to give people the feeling of wastage of balance, but sometimes also have unique effect, give left a deep impression. In addition, the close-range and long-term sense of distance is more literally manifested in the formation of a feeling of depth in the picture.

shooting scope will change the overall impression photo shooting scope

different picture gives the impression that there will be very different, which is phoned Shooting distance and the type of lens will be used to make it change dramatically. Case diagram in photographs taken near the subject and the vertical distance be some distance from the photographs taken on the horizontal effect is entirely different.

we use vertical and horizontal compositions were shot in the left part of the ruddy box. Although the location, the model exactly the same, but because of different outlooking angles, the impression is completely different.
