It is a very memorable thing to film the whole wedding process. It must be warm for them to look back when they are old and recall the scene at that time. So what camera should be used for the wedding follow-up? What are the photography skills after the wedding? Come and have a look with me now!
1. What camera will be used for the wedding?
What kind of camera to use in the follow-up of the wedding must be a tangled problem for many newcomers, because the speed and accuracy of focusing are very important. If the camera is slow in focusing or prone to focus shift, the photos or videos taken will definitely be unclear. I suggest you choose a SLR camera. The biggest advantage of SLR camera is that the shutter has no delay. Images that ordinary cameras can't shoot can be easily fixed with SLR, and the images recorded by SLR video will be clearer than ordinary cameras.
Second, wedding photography skills
1, the first thing to pay attention to is to capture important occasions. For example, when picking up the bride, when the newlyweds offer tea to their parents, when the newlyweds toast together, and so on. The shooting of these important occasions must be guaranteed, so it is best to have a general understanding of the wedding process before shooting, so that when important scenes come, you will not miss the shooting in a hurry.
2. Pay attention to the light intensity of the occasion. The aperture should be determined according to the index of the flash before shooting. In this way, in the next shooting, the focus of each picture can be clear and the exposure is accurate, thus saving focusing time.
3. concentrate on capturing the expression of the characters. When shooting, the focal length of the lens should not stay too long. Because at banquets, most of them are shot at close range, so you should choose a wide-angle lens with short focal length when shooting, so that you can shoot more people in a limited space.
Let me sum up: I'll share here about what camera to use and the photography skills for the wedding follow-up. In the process of shooting the wedding, we must always move to seize the favorable shooting position, otherwise it is easy to miss some important shots of the couple.
What camera do you recommend for a wedding?
It's not the camera you used to shoot the wedding, but the person you shot. If you have money, Jane uses Sony PXW-Z 150.
Sony HXR-NX 100 is cheap.
If it is lower, use JVCJY-HM360.
These are all commonly used models.
Canon 6d2 is used for wedding SLR, which has a good sense of height and strong snapshot ability. SLR digital camera refers to a single-lens reflex digital camera. That is, Digital digital, Single Lens, lens lens, Reflex reflective English abbreviation DSLR. Representative models in the market are common in Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Fuji and so on. This kind of camera is usually big and heavy. In this system, the unique design of the mirror and prism enables the photographer to directly observe the image passing through the lens from the viewfinder. Therefore, you can accurately see the same image that the film is about to "see".
Recently, I want to start with a professional camera for weddings. How to choose Sony HXR-MC2500 and Panasonic HC-MDH2?
At present, the wedding cameras are considered good: Sony HXR-MC2500, JVCJY-HM95 and Panasonic MDH2GK.
1. From a practical point of view, (1)JVCJY-HM95 is better.
Advantages:
1080 HD, large aperture, easy to create a shallow depth of field, close to the movie scene, good dark light ability, high sensitivity, dual-card synchronous recording, avoiding the pain of lost files due to card damage, and also has a breakpoint continuous recording function, long battery life and strong expansibility! The key is that the price advantage is obvious, about 8000 yuan.
Disadvantages:
Needless to say, machine parts have their advantages. It would be better if the design of zoom lever can be pushed with one button.
Summary:
An indispensable machine for weddings and micro-movies, with good cost performance.
(2) Sony HXR-MC2500 is the second. To say yes, it is outstanding in automatic white balance, and others are not as practical as JVCJY-HM95.
Advantages:
Good-looking, atmospheric and professional.
Disadvantages:
The sensor is (1/3.95) inches, which is too small. The diameter of the filter is 37mm, which feels like an empty shell, and the recording volume of the microphone is also very low.
Summary:
Advantages: beautiful and atmospheric. Have the demeanor of a professional machine. There is a camera light, which is convenient for emergency use in case of insufficient light. The effect of taking pictures in the maximum mode is acceptable, which basically meets the requirements. Disadvantages: The sensor is (1/3.95) inches, and the filter is 37mm in diameter, which feels like an empty shell. And the microphone recording volume is too low. The same microphone can be used at 1500C, but not at 2500 C. The sound is too low, even if it is turned to the maximum, it can't reach the standard value. Please pay attention to this. Wireless WiFi is useless for wedding photography. This money is not as good as other extensions. Jane 1: The sensor should be 1/3 or larger, such as 1/2.3 is better; The filter diameter should be 62mm to match the fuselage; You can cancel the memory and directly make a dual-card slot to realize dual-card simultaneous recording or continuous recording. Although you can do this now, you can't change the memory, and you can only shoot a small amount; Add a built-in microphone, and do not use a 3.5 jack for an external microphone, which is easy to come out and solve the volume problem. The problem of operation is solved, even if the cost is increased, it is cost-effective. Summary: At present, it is ok for weddings, and the shooting effect is related to the photographer's technical knowledge, but for junior photographers, this camera is still too low and can only be used by novices. If it is not improved, this camera may be eliminated in advance.
(3) Panasonic MDH2GK, no matter how compared, is always inferior to the above two paragraphs.
Advantages:
Take it out big and have face.
Disadvantages:
The picture size is large, but the picture quality is average.
Summary:
The indoor picture is red, yellow when the sun shines, and the color is not correct.
2. In terms of sales volume, Sony HXR-MC2500 is larger, followed by JVCJY-HM95, and Panasonic MDH2GK is relatively small, but the price is also lower, about 6000 yuan. This may be the reason of Sony brand effect.
In short, the key to making a video is that people are not cameras. It depends on whether the user likes it or not. In fact, these three cameras are not far apart. In the hands of the cameraman, it is difficult to distinguish who is good and who is bad, only the user's feelings are different.
