Getting to Know the Shooting Modes In the previous review of the camera features, there is one feature called the shooting mode. What is shooting mode? The shooting mode is an instant feature used by photographers to obtain camera settings according to the situation they are facing. There are three shooting modes that are generally owned by every DSLR camera, namely automatic, semi-automatic, and manual mode.
- Auto Mode
Auto: In this mode, all settings such as the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, flash, and so on, are set automatically. The photographer only needs to focus on the object being shot. The advantages of this mode are practical and easy to use. Photographers can take photos 'safely' without having to worry about camera settings. This mode is also suitable for use in situations that require fast shooting. However, the settings in auto mode are fixed aliases cannot be changed anymore. If we don't fit into a certain setting, and then want to change it a bit, then we can't do it right away. This of course makes us feel uncomfortable.
Flass off: in this mode the camera will turn off the internal flash. But other settings such as the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and focus, are still set automatically. Even though the flash is off, the focus assist light still works. This mode is almost similar to the auto mode, only the flash is turned off. Flash off functions to produce photos with natural effects without the help of artificial light.
Portrait: portrait mode is used to take portrait photos (portrait). In this mode, the camera will be set in such a way that the resulting image has a blurred background (blur). A blurred background will make someone's face appear sharper.
Macro : Macro mode is used to take pictures of very small objects at very close range. Such as insects, jewelry, leaves, details of objects, and others. In this mode, the camera will set the aperture at the smallest possible aperture. However, the quality of the resulting macro still depends on the quality of the lens. To obtain a more pronounced macro effect, we can use a macro lens.
Land SCape: This mode is used when we want to take pictures of objects in the form of views or landscapes. The camera settings in this mode will automatically open the aperture at a small aperture. The entire image, both nearest and farthest, will appear sharp and in focus.
Sport : Sport mode is used to photograph objects with fast movements, such as objects in sporting activities. People running, racing, soccer, are examples of objects that are usually photographed using this mode. If this mode is selected, the camera will automatically set the shutter speed at a high speed so that it will produce images with a freezing effect or as if frozen.
Night Mode: Night mode mode is used to take pictures at night. The camera will automatically adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings. Its function is to be able to take pictures in dark or low light situations. This mode does not use flash, because the camera will try to maximize the light sources around it. For photos that don't shake, try using a tripod. Taking pictures in low light conditions is very risky of shaking which can cause the image to blur.
