3583. Photography tips - Use P Mode

ADVICES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Learn digital photography. It is a very useful skill.

Use a DSLR camera. “M” mode is difficult for beginners as they have to use the correct aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Lighting changes fast and the settings may be out of date resulting in a mediocre image.

Most of my photos are set to “P” Mode, Auto Focus, single point focus. I focus on the “eye” of the person on the left, steady hands are needed (SGH, 3 pm, bright sunlight, 12 Apr 2021). The “P” Mode will automatically set your aperture, shutter speed and ISO.                                                                        @davidsing1

 

 

ADVICES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
Learn digital photography to create good images in your career or home. It is a very useful skill as the vast majority will just use the handphone to click images and not develop deeper skills.

Use a DSLR camera. “M” mode is difficult for BEGINNERS because you need to set the correct aperture, shutter speed and ISO. By the time you do it, the lighting may have changed from bright to dark. In "P" mode, you don't have to do the settings.

Most of my photos are set to “P” Mode, Auto Focus, single point focus. I focus on the “head” of the mother with 2 sons; steady hands are needed. The “P” Mode will automatically set your aperture, shutter speed and ISO.  See example in this post.
