Hello everyone, Lin Fei to answer the above questions, Canon 500d introductory teaching, Canon 500d use skills many people do not know, now let's take a look!

How do I use 500D with electricity? Canon 500D is Canon's latest entry-level DSLR. It can be described as a hybrid version of 50D and 5D Mark 2 (Invincible Rabbit). It features a 15.1 million-pixel CMOS,DIGIC 4 image processing engine, a 3.0-inch 920000-pixel LCD and other special features of 50D, as well as the invincible 1080p HD camera capability. Let's take a look at Canon 500D's guide to using skills.

First, the basic use of Canon 500D

1. How to use CA mode?

CA mode is also a creative automatic function. Its purpose is to take care of entry-level users, so that ordinary users can adjust the brightness of the image or blur the background. When in use, simply switch the mode dial to "CA" mode. If no adjustment is made at this time, the camera will basically follow the P-bit processing.

However, the judgment of the camera is not necessarily based on the will of the person. At this point, you can adjust the blur of the background or the intensity and darkness of the exposure through the navigation buttons. The former is directly reflected in the change of aperture size, while the latter is reflected in exposure compensation. This is very simple for friends who are new to the camera.

two。 Focus setting

When you use DSLR for the first time, you often don't know how to use multiple foci on the viewfinder, so that the things you shoot are often not in focus. If you want to adjust the focus of the Canon 500D, first press the magnification button in the upper right corner of the back of the fuselage. It is also a focus selection button. By default, the camera is set to automatically select focus.

Press SET to switch to the manually selected focus state. At this time, the initial focus is in the center, and you can freely choose the desired focus through the left and right keys. Since the Canon 500D is an entry-level machine, the accuracy of the central focus is often higher than that of other focus, so use the central focus if not necessary.

3. Settings for advanced menus

Compared with Nikon, Canon's DSLR is very easy to set up menus, but there are some menu features that are rarely used in advanced settings. Let's give you a brief explanation. Canon 500D does not see the sensitivity option such as ISO 6400 Universe 12800 under normal settings. Before displaying it, you need to set it to ON in the custom menu. The long-time exposure function is turned off by default and can be turned on when it needs to be applied to night shots.

By default, the extended function of high ISO sensitivity is set as standard, which plays an important role in improving the noise level under high ISO. Hue priority is the ability to magnify the tones of highlights around the 1EV. This feature is useful when the contrast of the subject is high and the highlights are easy to overflow. If the requirements for picture quality are not particularly strict, you can choose. After all, there is some loss in the quality of the processed photos.

Automatic brightness optimization function is also turned on by default, similar to Nikon's D-Lighting, but Canon's DSLR is relatively conservative in the development of this function, and the processing effect is not very obvious. The last mirror pre-lift function is very suitable for shooting on a tripod. When you press the shutter, the mirror will rise in advance, and the shutter will open 2 seconds later, avoiding the vibration to the camera when you press the shutter with your hand.

4. HD video settings

The Canon 500D supports full HD video format (1920-1080), but there is no doubt that it will be less practical with only 20fps, so you can adjust the frame according to your needs before shooting a short film. Because the speed of 30fps can be supported in 1280 to 720p mode, it has a wider range of applications. Canon 500D supports autofocus during shooting, including real-time mode, face real-time mode and fast real-time mode.

When everything is ready, we can switch to video shooting mode through the mode dial. In this mode, press the record button to start recording the video.

Second, how to take good landscape photos with Canon 500D?

With the use of the DIGIC 4 image processor, Canon's DSLR shows better tolerance and slightly improved picture brightness. Let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when shooting scenery with Canon 500D:

When shooting with a DSLR, the most commonly used mode is the aperture priority mode, which is a common Av file. Under this aperture, the size of the aperture can be set freely, making it easier to control the depth of field. Generally use a smaller aperture (F8 or above) to take landscape photos, which can make the landscape photos clearer before and after.

Scenery photography mode is suitable for shooting scenery. At this time, the performance in sharpness will be better, and the color processing will be more vivid. Of course, it is also possible to customize the sharpness of each style in the advanced settings menu.

If you want to take high-quality photos, you should use a lower ISO sensitivity. But the premise is that the shutter speed is not too low, otherwise the loss outweighs the gain. In addition, the use of evaluation photometry is more suitable for landscape shooting, because the light in the shooting environment is generally more complex, evaluation photometry can better take care of complex composite light sources.

Slightly warm and pink in landscape mode can be said to be the special feature of Canon 500D. This performance is also similar to that of Canon 50D.

3. How do Canon 500D take macro photos?

Because Canon 500D has 15 million pixels, although the macro shooting ability of DSLR is limited, it can be achieved through post-cutting. Let's take a look at what you need to pay attention to when taking macro photos:

The nearest focusing distance of the digital SLR is constant, so the maximum magnification will be achieved at the long focal end, so the long focal end is often used in macro photos. In addition, macro objects tend to be small, so point photometry can get a more accurate exposure.

It is also more appropriate to take macro photos with file A, because the difference in aperture is directly reflected in the effect of depth of field, so if you want the background to be more blurred, it is more appropriate to shoot with a large aperture. You don't need to get a very bright effect when taking macro photos, because

Now the DSLR basically has the function of real-time view, so if you want to take macro photos more intuitively, you can use this mode. Press the print button on the upper left of the navigation button to enter LV mode. In the view state, you can move the position of the focus frame, or press the * key to achieve the focus function.

Novice on the road, shooting flowers and plants practice is necessary, and the condom also has a good macro performance, so generally speaking, Canon 500D shooting macro is relatively handy.

4. How to use Canon 500D to take low light photos

After ISO expansion, Canon 500D also has the highest ISO 12800 level, so it is relatively easy to use Canon 500D to shoot in low light environment. Let's take a look at what we should pay attention to in low light shooting:

Although the highest ISO of Canon 500D is 12800, a higher ISO value will bring unexpected noise, so in low light shooting, if the shutter speed is not enough, generally use as low sensitivity as possible, which can not only stabilize the picture, but also control the quality of the picture. The anti-shake switch of Canon 500D is on the lens, so turn on the anti-shake switch when taking low-light photos.

Similarly, an aperture as large as possible can increase the shutter speed or reduce the sensitivity of the ISO, so low-light shooting usually uses a large aperture. However, it should also be noted that the image sharpness under the large aperture is not as good as that under the shrinking aperture, depending on the needs of the user.

High ISO noise reduction function is mainly used for low light shooting, after turning on this function, when shooting high ISO, the camera will automatically reduce noise to make the picture quality more pure. However, this function also has a certain impact on the shooting interval, because the fuselage processing still takes a short time after all.

Low-light shooting also needs to pay attention to the frequent adjustment of exposure compensation, because the light ratio between the shooting object and the environment is relatively strong, the photometric system will not be very accurate. High ISO is Canon 500D's strong point, if used with a large aperture lens, it can almost become an expert in shooting in the dark.

Summary of this issue: inheriting Canon's consistent excellent picture quality, Canon 500D has graciously expanded its maximum ISO to 12800. In addition, pixel upgrades and the 1920 '1080p HD camera function have also made it a commanding point in entry-level digital SLR. It can be said that it is still in an absolute advantage in the entry-level DSLR market.

At the end of this article, I hope it will be helpful to you.
