How to Use a DSLR Camera Like a Pro

– Buttons & Settings Explained:  

The DSLR camera is a great tool if you want to carefully pursue photography as a hobby or as a career. But if you are accustomed to using other types of cameras, your DSLR may seem strange at first.

Even if you are free to use your camera in a basic way, there are some features you can get or ways you can not fully use your camera. Learning to use a DSLR camera takes time and practice, but you'll be glad you made the effort as your photos continue to improve.

Defining terminology related to DSLR photography and what the camera buttons and settings do can help you get more out of your camera.

No matter how much experience you have - both a novice and someone with experience can benefit from a review of how to use a DSLR camera.

The details below are explained so the owner of the brand new DSLR camera can understand it but more experienced photographers can also use it to brush up on their camera skills and capabilities.

No matter what type of digital camera you have, they all work in the same basic way. They gather light; it focuses on the lens, and then captures the digital sensor. The sensor saves bright information and provides an image file that you can view and edit.

DSLR cameras work this way, but they have a mirror and a prism system that sends light to the viewer. The screen scans the top of the camera so that the light passes through the sensor that records the image you are trying to take. This is one of the few ways DSLR cameras are different from other digital cameras.

Controls for your DSLR camera

DSLR cameras have more dial and buttons and can outperform new camera owners. Many DSLR owners give up and return to their default cameras or use the basic function of their DSLR.

The good news is that auto mode works well on a DSL camera most of the time, but you miss out on much of what the camera can do if you only use the default settings.

It is also important to note that it will take time to learn the things your camera can do. You don’t need to be an expert right away, and it’s okay to make some mistakes along the way. Knowing your camera is a good idea that reading everything at once is great.

Also, keep in mind that, while all DSLR cameras are different, most of them have the same basic features. Without knowing these basics, it is also a good idea to read your camera owner's manual.

Now that you know where to start, let's take a look at buttons and settings:

Dialing Mode

Start by getting dialing mode. This tells your camera how much control you want over the settings. Rotate dial switching between automatic and automatic. Between those options, you can switch between P mode and A or AV mode.

P mode is short with default system mode. It is a different form of car and gives you control over exposure compensation, white balance, and ISO.

A or AV mode is the Most Important mode to unlock. This mode is in the middle of the default between manual and manual. You can set the switch to control the depth of the field but the camera still set the shutter speed and detects light.
You will get ISO control, white balance, and exposure compensation. This mode works well for landscape photographers.

The last option between automatic and manual is S, T, or Tv mode. It’s also called Shutter Priority mode and is similar to A or AV mode, but you get to set the shutter speed while the camera sets the opening based on light. It allows you to control the movement in the shot.

Choosing the shooting mode to get the right exposure of the scene is an important foundation for finding a good shot.

Many cameras have exposure compensation. This allows you to quickly darken or brighten the image by increasing or decreasing the compensation of exposure.

You can access it by dialing or a button or camera menu, depending on the specific camera you are working with. It is a quick way to adjust the full brightness of an image without getting into full hands mode.

Third Move to:>

Metering Meter

Meter is the way your camera measures light in a scene. You turn it on in adjustment mode to make sure your caption has the right exposure. Measurement or matrix metering, which is the default mode, usually works well.
