"surround exposure" is a very useful function supported by most cameras, especially for landscape photography or scenes with complex light, this function can bring great convenience to shooting.

The so-called "surround exposure" means that different parameters are used to record multiple photos with different exposure levels. In different photos, the highlights, midtones and shadows of the scene are recorded with normal exposure, providing more details for later.

For example, when we shoot a scene in a complex light environment, we can take three photos, the first one allows the highlights to be exposed normally, the second one allows the subject and the middle tone of the picture to be exposed normally, and the third one allows the dark parts of the picture to be exposed normally, avoiding death and darkness while retaining some details. In the later operation, we can select the most suitable one based on the above three photos, or synthesize the three photos, each keeping the normal exposure.

The camera has its own "surround exposure" function, and we need to modify the parameters before shooting. The operation method is similar to adjusting the exposure compensation. We can choose one normal exposure, one to reduce the number of exposures, and one to increase the number of exposures. When shooting, the camera will automatically complete three shots, and we can see three photos with different exposures in the album.

Of course, we can carry out manual "surround exposure", that is, we can set our own parameters and take multiple photos at the same position angle to facilitate later operation. Generally, manual operation requires proficient exposure skills, and often requires tripod and other stabilization equipment as assistance.

For many professional landscape photographers, it is almost a necessary technology to skillfully use "surround exposure", because although the camera has a great tolerance, it is difficult to fully show the photographer's ideas. it is also difficult to retain all the details of highlights, shadows and other parts at the same time, so it is necessary to use surround exposure for photos with high quality and great pursuit of detail.

While using surround exposure, many professional photographers will shoot many times in different depths of field, that is, they will shoot clearly the foreground, the main body and the background, and then synthesize the focus in the later stage. So sometimes the wonderful scenery blockbusters we see may be based on the combination of surround exposure and focal length, and it takes 9 or more photos to complete the final effect.

We take photography as a hobby, of course, we don't need such a complex operation in most environments, but when we encounter complex scenes such as backlighting and dark environment, we might as well try the surround exposure function of the camera. Wait for the shooting and then choose the most satisfactory photo. Sometimes, this simple operation can help us save time and energy.

If you haven't tried surround exposure, you can turn on the camera and try it. You may need it when you go out.
