Document Summary
Do not use wide angle for portraits unless they are really far away- causes distortion. 50mm plus lens are the best for portrait photography. Focal length is always represented through full frame, multiply by 1. 5 to get cropped focal length. 1/focal length = 1/50mm= 1/50 of a second: determines when to use a tripod, if less than use tripod to avoid camera shake. *if on a tripod, turn vr off because if it is already stabilized then it will add movement to image. Jpeg and raw file have the same amount of pixels because of the camera. Raw files have higher quality and flexible white balance control. Cannot edit jpegs as much as raw files. Slow shutter speed(1/5) will blur water but a very slow shutter speed(5 ) will change quality. Noise and grain=higher iso lower iso=higher dynamic range, more to work with. Camera to subject distance(most important in determining d. o. f. )
