17

This is ensure one photo has exposed

19
Q

What are the pros of using manual?

A

It’s easier for beginners
Photographers has complete control of focus
Photographer can easily select areas to be focused and shallow depth field
Photographer doesn’t rely upon the auto focus system which can be confusing

20
Q

Cons of manual focus

A

It can be tricky for beginners
You can easily miss a shot

21
Q

Auto focus pros

A

Easy
Good shots as it’s quick
Auto focus often give satisfactory results

22
Q

Auto focus cons

A

Creativity and controller limited
It can be confusing the system in situations

23
Q

White balance

A

Adjust the colour and photo so white objects appear white compensating for different sources. Cameras often offer present options and sometimes it cost an option. I use a white card to balance while automatic weight balance works well cases manual adjustments be here for specific conditions.

24
Q

Specular reflection

A

Light hits smooth surface
Creates metered/specular reflection

25
Q

Diffused reflection

A

Light bit uneven service
Creates fractured/diffused reflection
