DSLR The first two things you should do after getting your camera is to read your camera's user manual thoroughly and learn its features, and then set up your camera's basic settings. This way, you will stop using your camera in auto mode.
Assuming you have read the user manual, the main features you need to know about your camera are
shutter speed and
aperture settings.
Shutter speed is the mechanism that adjusts the time the light passing through the camera's lens stays open. By selecting the TV or S mode on your camera, you can switch to shutter priority mode and take photos with your desired shutter speed setting.
So, what is shutter priority mode for? Shutter speed is related to speed. If we want to freeze a fast-moving object, we need to shoot in shutter priority mode. If the shutter speed value is lower than it should be, the photo will not be sharp. Tripod use is essential for photos with low shutter speed settings.
Another setting you need to adjust is the aperture setting.
Aperture is the name of the mechanism that adjusts the amount of light passing through the lens. It is to the camera what the eye is to us humans. Aperture values on the camera are found in AV, A mode. By using these modes, you can achieve your desired aperture value.
So, what is aperture priority mode for? You should select aperture priority mode for photos where depth of field and sharpness are important. If we want to increase the depth of field, the aperture value should be increased; if we want to decrease the depth of field, the aperture value should be decreased. Finally, the
P mode on your camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture settings for you.
