I’m no pro, but I’ve learnt a thing or two — and let me share them here.
Will keep this updated with new tips as and when I learn them.
- When zoomed in, it’s quite difficult to use the screen to track a moving subject. Use the evf — it’s way better!
- You’d typically want to punch-in into a photo that’s been shot to show the details. For which, you do not want to set high ISO - without which the photo will be far too grainy for any kind of use. Use low ISO.
- You’ll automatically have to shoot at lower shutter speeds if you set the ISO low — only to end up with a blurry image. 2 ways to counteract this:
- Set low shutter speed (on a stationary subject) and set your burst mode to maximum. Shoot bursts only — you’ll get 1 useable photo out of 20 photos or so. But it’s worth it.
- Support the lens with the other hand, breathe in/out, hold it, and tense up your core muscles. Breathing generally adds some shake to photos, we want to avoid that.
