Compact cameras have their advantages, I’m not going to deny it, but where there’s a good SLR you have to remove the compact ones, I think it’s great that you can take your compact camera everywhere, it’s a fool to carry 2 kilos of SLR camera, changing the lens depending on what you want to photograph, yes, yes, but I don’t part with my SLR. In photography, nothing fills me as much as my humble Nikon D7000. Not because it’s Nikon, this is stupid. It could be Pentax or Sony. I’d love her with the same madness.
If SLRs fill me so much is largely thanks to the infinite possibilities that allow me when preparing and taking a photo, I don’t just mean the problem of manual mode, being able to adjust the aperture and shutter speed is amazing, but above all I like the myriad of options that I can adjust before taking a photo , aspects that a compact camera does not offer and in which a photographer with a compact camera would not notice, but what happens when you experiment with them on an SLR camera?Drool.

1) Don’t you see it quite clearly? Adjust diopters: One of the buttons that we pay the least attention to is the diopter adjustment, it is not usually affected because normally it is not necessary, but it is advisable to know what it is for, because it can avoid a silly visit. The diopter adjustment is mainly used to adjust the diopters of the camera viewfinder and ensure that the focus we take with the camera on a photo provides a truly sharp and sharp image.
The diopter adjustment is a small wheel-shaped button that is usually located near the viewfinder. Sometimes we can accidentally touch it and inadvertently alter the diopter setting. This can manifest itself in an environment where it is impossible to concentrate. This is when you start to believe that your camera is broken, and you run home and worry about asking if anyone has seen the warranty sheet that comes in the camera box. Don’t worry, your camera is focusing correctly. Readjust display diptry?
2) Ultra-thin focus: sometimes the camera autofocus does not work properly; others, even if you focus manually, later, when you look at the photo on the computer, you notice a slight deviation from focus. could go back and refocus it correctly, he thinks.
Don’t rush, from today, if you’re worried that a photo will come out very sharp and a particular point will come out very, very focused, look at some buttons on the back of your SLR camera, with a symbol magnifying glass or the signs and -. These buttons are typically used to zoom in or out once taken, but did you know that you can use them even before taking the photo, when you frame it and focus the subject?To do this, you must do without the viewfinder for a moment and use the Live View function of your camera, this function that allows you to observe through the screen, live, what you are about to photograph. With Live View enabled and framing displayed on the screen, use the magnifying glass or button on the side of the camera screen, and you’ll see the camera zoom digitally over the subject. . This will allow you to see the accuracy of the focus more closely. What do you see isn’t right? You refocus until you focus on the exact point you wanted.
Fact. Now shoot!
3) Color space: We will not go into complicated technical explanations, but the color space determines the width or narrowness of the color range that the camera will use. There are several color spaces and each has its advantages and utility. probably comes with sRGB as the default color space. This is a good option if you plan to save or print your photos without changing them. On the other hand, if you are one of those who are not satisfied with the camera result and are used to retouching your photos, adding contrast, improving color and other settings, I recommend you change the color space to Adobe RVB, this color space has a wider range of colors, offers a greater richness of colors and a more true image to reality , as well as giving you more flexibility when working with or printing your photos.
4) Do not delete. Format: It’s OKAY to delete one or two photos on the fly, but between photo shoots, don’t just delete the photos one at a time. Don’t even click on the “Delete all at once” option. thinking about starting a new photo shoot, there’s nothing like starting with a completely clean memory card, like new one. This is done by ” formating” the map.
Deleting makes us no longer see the photos on a map, but there are still traces of those photos behind them. You won’t see them, but you erase them once, then again, then again, and again and again, after a while the camera ends up making a mess. The best and cleanest thing is to format the map.
In addition, if you use the same memory card on one camera and then on another, it is essential to form it from the same camera in which you are going to use it, this ensures that the camera records the photos correctly.
5) Noise reduction with high ISO or prolonged exposure: your SLR camera sometimes produces noise, it is something that is inevitable that will happen to everyone. Your camera is aware of this and, if yours is modern, it will most likely offer you in its generous setup menu the possibility to reduce the noise of the camera itself. Once the option is activated, each time you take a photo that can accumulate noise due to a very high ISO, or a long exposure time, it is the camera itself, automatically and on the fly, that will reduce that noise.
Find this option and activate it
