Tips to clean and maintain your Lens (DSLR Camera)

Special treatment for your Digital Camera is a must in order to keep the camera in its best function.  The cost of repairs of camera is  quite expensive, compare with a routine camera maintenance activities.  This activity does not take much time, but has a long-term benefits the user. Photography equipment maintenance is essential in order to maintain our investment as a photographer in the future.

Lens is one of a vital equipment of the camera. Always keep your lens away from dust, water or even scratch. Here I’d like to share some tips to keep your lens in good condition.

1. The lens is a window for the eye to see the outside world. The lens is the most important element to be able to produce good images. Some lens care steps are as follows:

2. Do not touch the lens directly with your fingers. To reduce the likelihood of this happening, try the lens hood is always attached. Lens hood will also protect the front of the lens from impact and prevent the emergence of flares on the frontal light toward the lens.

3.  Replace the lens cap when the lens is not used, it aims to reduce the likelihood of exposure and attachment of dust on the lens surface.

4. If the activities necessary to clean the lens, then use a good cleaning equipment is recommended. Always use lens brush, lens blower, lens paper and lens cloth to clean your lens.

Here are some steps to clean the lens:

  • Clean the front and rear lens with a lens blower first to remove dust particles. Do not immediately clean the lens with a lens cloth or lens paper because dust particles that wiped will left tiny scratch on the surface of lens. This can result in the emergence of a permanent disruption in the photo.
  • Some of the dust particles that still remain attached can also be eliminated with the help of lens brush.
  • Next rub the lens gently and slowly with a lens smooth cloth with a circular motion from the inside of the lens toward the exit.
  • If needed, the liquid lens cleaner / lens cleaning fluid can be used specifically to clean dirt lens. Do not spray it directly to the lens,but spray on smooth cloth cleaner lens drops on paper first, then rub gently on the lens.

What is Shutter Speed?

high shutter speed

Shutter speed is the time frame when the shutter on your camera is open.  Shutter speed technically means less time in which our sensors ‘see’ the object of which we will take. Simply shutter speed is the time between we pressed the shutter button on the camera until this button back to its original position.

  • Setting the shutter speed by 500 in your camera mean time span as much as 1 / 500 seconds. Yes, as short and blink. As for the exposure time of 30 seconds, you’ll see something like this: 30”
  • Setting the shutter speed on your camera is usually in multiples of 2, so we’ll see a row like this: 1 / 500, 1 / 250, 1 / 125, 1 / 60, 1 / 30 ff. Now almost all the cameras also allow setting 1 / 3 stop, so less is more movement of shutter speed that is more tightly; 1 / 500, 1 / 400, 1 / 320, 1 / 250, 1 / 200, 1 / 160 … and so on.
  • To produce sharp photos, use a shutter speed that is safe. Rules secure in most conditions is the setting shutter speed 1 / 60 or faster, so the resulting image will be sharp and safe from the results of the shaded images (blur / out of focus).
  • Limit any safe shutter speed that is: we are shutter speed must be greater than length of our lens. So if we use the 50mm lens, use a minimum shutter 1 / 60 sec. If we use the 17mm lens, use a shutter speed of 1 / 30 sec.
  • Shutter speed to freeze motion. Use a shutter speed as high as possible that could be reached to freeze movement. The faster an object moves that we want to freeze the image, the faster shutter speed is needed. To freeze the movement of birds that fly for example, use the Shutter Priority mode and set shutter speed at the number 1 / 1000 sec (ideally ISO set to auto option) so that results are sharp. If you noticed, was idolized photographer sport mode S / Tv this.
  • Blur is intentional – the shutter speed to show motion effects. When photographing moving objects, we can intentionally slow down the shutter speed us to show the effects of the movement. Make sure you include at least one stationary object as the anchor image. Take a look at the photo below:

low shutter speed

Depth of Field

The definition of the aperture is a measure of how much open lens (lens aperture) when we take photos.

When we pressed the shutter button, the hole in front of our camera sensor will open, the aperture setting determines how big this hole is open. The bigger the hole open, the more the amount of light that will go unread by the censors.

aperture

Aperture or openings shall be expressed in f-stops. Often we read the terms of aperture / aperture 5.6, in more formal language of photography can be expressed as f/5.6. As disclosed above, the main function as the controlling aperture is how big the hole in front of the sensor is open. The smaller the f-stop number means the bigger the hole is open (and the more the volume of incoming light) and vice versa, the larger the f-stop number the smaller the hole open.

aperture

Depth of Field

Depth of field – DOF, is a measure of how far the field of focus in the photograph. Depth of Field (DOF) which means most of the width of the object image (the object closest to the object farthest from the camera) will look sharp and focused. While the DOF is narrow (shallow) means that only part of the object at a certain point are sharp while the rest will blur / out of focus.

Focus

Untuk get a wide DOF using a small aperture setting, say f-22 (the smaller the aperture the more extensive range of focus) – see example image above. Meanwhile, to get a narrow DOF, use the aperture as possible, eg f/2.8 – see sample photos below.

PICT0236_md

This Depth of Field used especially in portrait photography and macro photography.

Understanding the Exposure

Most of the time after buying a good digital SLR cameras and point & shoot, we are fixed on auto mode for a long time. Auto mode is the most easy and quick, but do not give creative satisfaction.
For those who want to “escape” from the auto mode and want drive on creative life into the pictures produced, need to understand the concept of exposure. Famous photographer, Bryan Peterson, has written a book called Understanding Exposure in which the concept eskposur easily explained.

Peterson said there are three elements that must be known to understand the exposure, he named the three as a triangle relationship Photography. Each element in this photographic triangle associated with light, how light entering and interacting with the camera.

These three elements are:

1.ISO – a measure of how sensitive the camera sensor to light
2.Aperture – how much the lens is open when the photo was taken
3.Shutter Speed – span of time ‘window’ in front of the camera sensor open

The third element of interaction is called exposure. Changes in one element will
resulted in changes in other elements.

Parable Exposure Triangle
Perhaps the easiest way to understand the exposure is to give a parable. In this case I like the parable of the exposure triangle like a water faucet. Shutter speed for me is how long we open the faucet, aperture is how wide we open the faucet and the ISO was the strong encouragement of water from taps, and tap water flowing through it is the light received by the camera sensor. Certainly not a perfect metaphor, but at least we got the basic idea.

Nikon D90

The image produced by this camera is at the same level with D300S,  very useful ergonomic features is added for faster handling. These handling improvements will give you an opportunity to react faster to conditions.

Nikon D90

Nikon D90’s Position in the D Series

Nikon is a leading brand before the age of digital cameras. And in in 2008, the Nikon D90 was introduced and basically makes this appealing for both professionals and conventional consumers alike.

Design

The Nikon D90 looks a lot like the older Nikon D80 which also received a lot of praise from seasoned photographers. All controls are positioned in the same spots so Nikon consumer should have no trouble operating the Nikon D90.

Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice 3 holes just above the D90 logo which serves as the microphone for using some of the limited HD video features. You can also see some new ports if you check the left side. There is an HDMI-out port and the Audio/Video out port which basically replaces the standard Video-out port of older models. The small rubber door under the ports contains a new GPS-in port as well. On the right side is where you can easily insert the SD card. The top portion of the camera is where you have access to all the commonly used settings. Not many changes have been made to the bottom portion as well which is where you insert the battery and plug in the tripod accessory.

There are a few significant changes in the back view which should excite a lot of Nikon lovers like the new “Lv” button which conveniently switches the LCD viewing mode to “Live view mode” without going through the interface menus. The “OK” button has been repositioned to fall on the center of the directional pad which is common among point and shoot cameras and the multi-controller lock sports a new reduced size look that is easier to use with one hand.

Features

  • 12.3-megapixel DX-format CMOS imaging sensor: Coupled with Nikon’s EXPEED image processing technologies and NIKKOR optics, breathtaking image fidelity is assured.
  • World’s first D-SLR with an HD movie mode: Record exceptional 24fps movie clips with sound at up to 720p HD (1280 x 720 pixels) in Motion JPEG format, enhanced by NIKKOR interchangeable lens quality and versatility.
  • 3-inch super-density 921,000-dot color LCD monitor: High resolution, 170-degree wide-angle viewing guarantees confident image review and movie playback.
  • 11-point AF system: Consistently fast and accurate autofocus, reinforced by the Nikon Scene Recognition System, delivers razor sharpness in a wide variety of conditions.
  • Continuous shooting as fast as 4.5 frames-per-second: Combined with fast 0.15ms power-up and split-second 65ms shooting lag, dramatic action and decisive moments are captured easily.
  • Low noise ISO sensitivity from 200 to 3200: High signal-to-noise components and design deliver exceptional performance, even at high ISO setting.
  • Built-in image sensor cleaning: Effective 4-frequency, ultrasonic sensor cleaning frees image degrading dust particles from the sensor’s optical low pass filter.
  • Durable, high precision shutter: Testing to over 100,000 cycles assures shutter life and accuracy.
  • GPS geo-tagging: GP-1 GPS unit (optional) provides automatic real-time geo-tagging.

Performance

In terms of image quality, the D90 is on par with the semi-pro D300 as they share identical image sensors. It does a good job of reducing colored fringing with in-camera processing. Pictures are sharp and colors appear spot on.

Automatic white balance worked rather well, not only in natural light but in halogen lighting too. Noise did not pose any real problems until above ISO 1600, and even then it remained low enough to to allow small to mid-sized prints to be made.

Lateral chromatic aberrations were corrected extremely well by the EXPEED image processing engine to the point that they did not appear at all in the out-of-camera JPEGs.

Bottom Line

The Nikon D90 is a relatively complex camera but highly intuitive to use. The extra functions such as ultrasonic sensor cleaning, 3D focus tracking, 50% faster continuous shooting speed and Active d-lighting are well worth the upgrade for D80 users and the excellent quality of the images means there is no need to go for the more expensive D300. The bottom line is that if you are looking for a high-performance yet affordable DSLR for taking high-resolution still photographs the Nikon D90 is the camera for you.

These cameras are the next generation of Canon EOS 350D, was developed with 10.1-megapixel resolution (350D = 8 megapixels), LCD 2.5 “(350D = 1.8″, and the autofocus point increase 9 points from previously only 7 points on the 350D. Consumption of battery on this camera is more wasteful of 10% compared to 350D, but the type of battery and battery gripnya collaboration between Canon EOS 400D vs 350D.

Canon EOS 400D is Canon’s first camera that use the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, a feature to reduce the dust from the camera sensor. Outlines the system used by this antidebu using antistatic filter on the sensor layer and also movement on the sensor when the camera is turned on or off. The function of dust remover can also be activated manually from the camera menu. For users who frequently change their lens, would be greatly assisted by the self-cleaning feature of this sensor.

This camera is packaged with the kit lens 18-55 mm F3.5 – 5.6 Mk II EF-S, some users who’ve used first digital camera Canon EOS may be stated that the kit lens is the result less than the maximum, but for beginning users and on certain conditions is sufficient to meet the needs for photography.

Canon EOS 400D uses the DIGIC II processor is like a type of camera Canon XT (350D) and 30D. Use of this processor provides a good ability to process color capture and storage of images to your memory card (although this is also influenced by the speed memorycardnya itself). To start the camera is turned on until ready to use very fast less than 0.5 seconds (but this speed will be reduced if we activate the auto dust removal), autofocus camera is also satisfactory, although in poor lighting conditions.

Internal flash on this kemera will automatically pop-up or more if you shoot in low light conditions. Like its predecessor, flash inteanal also serves to help focus the place which is less light, so the flash will live beberapakali to help focus on the object that we are headed. At the front of the cameras also have a small lamp, but it’s not as light AF assist, but it serves as a sign of the count when we use the timer on this kemera.

One drawback of this camera is the absence of spot metering which helps photographers to focus at the center of focus point, but it’s not a big problem for most beginner SLR camera users or even other professional. Another problem is the battery consumption of the more extravagant than the 350D, this happens because the automatic sensor cleaning function when turn on or off and LCD size larger than the 350D makes battery consumption also requires more. Advice, always provides a backup battery to avoid undesirable things.

In whole, this camera fit for use for various situations that exist, function menus and custom function helps us to set the camera in accordance with a variety of conditions. Good noise reduction make us not afraid to take a photo using high ISO. By using a Compact Flash memory is becoming increasingly cheap price makes this camera worth buying along with 1G memory size and above CF.

More Information:
Digital Cameras Canon EOS 1000Dused in the European region, while the Japan region known as the Digital Rebel XS or Canon EOS Kiss Digital F. Is the entry level professional camera Canon EOS 450D continue his predecessor, with some upgrades in amenities,  one of it is to use DIGIC III image processor provides images of perfection and speed opeational focus and better than previous processors.

The camera is also equipped with a live view on the LCD so that we can see the object that will shoot through the LCD screen. One of the advantages of live view is that we can get 100% object without a miss, than if we see the object through the optical viewfinder, which is usually the picture will be slightly larger than what is seen from the optical viewfinder.

What should be noted that the live view on the Canon EOS 1000D can not be used in certain shooting modes.

At the time of purchase of Canon EOS 1000D, will be included kit lens with the size of the EF-S 18-55 IS F3.5-5.6. One of the advantages of this kit lens is the ability to image stabilizer which allows us to indulge shutterspeed speed to get more fit, without fear of the image is blurred due to vibration tanggan when we press the shutter button. This camera uses a lens mount that is suitable for EF lenses and EF-S, so that we can be more flexible in choosing what lens to use with this camera.

Types of memory used in cameras Canon EOS 1000D is the SD (secure digital) memory cards and can also be used on SDHC memory type to a larger capacity. Because the current price of memory is getting cheaper, and also the ability to keep these cameras are getting bigger, it is advisable to use a memory card with a large size or at least above 1G.

Just like other EOS digital camera type, camera is equipped with a sensor cleaning system that can help clean the dust from the sensor so that the images we are not disturbed by the dust. Canon EOS 1000D way it is with a vibration sensor cleaning ultrasonic waves and then use a low pass filter which has an anti-static coating that can protect from dust.

Canon EOS 1000D is equipped with a pop-up flash, which will electronically open if necessary. Flash guide number for the internal flash is 13 meters at ISO 100. At this size flash is strong enough when compared to similar digital cameras. Flash is also functioning as a light AF assist, to help the camera find focus if we are going to photograph objects in low light conditions.

Canon EOS 1000D is also designed to be used on batery grip BG-E5 type (optional, not included in the purchase dos camera) to be added to the type of double lithium battery or with the type of AA battery that can be obtained easily disupermarket closest if we run out of battery. Battery performance congenital Canon EOS 1000D (LP-E5 battery type) is good enough mentioned can be used to shoot at kuranglebih 500 times normal conditions, but this is very influential on how often we use the LCD to review or preview, also how much we use internal flash will affect battery power. It is recommended to have a spare battery to avoid unexpected conditions.

Composition is simply arranging the elements of a photograph

Composition is simply interpreted as a way of arranging the elements in the drawings, these elements include line, shape, form, color, light and dark.

The way you arrange the composition in the viewfinder will be interpreted later after your photo is printed. The most important aspect of composition is to produce a visual impact-an ability to convey feelings that you want to express in your photos. Thus you need to organize such a way to achieve your goals, whether it is to convey the impression of static and silent or sesuatumengejutkan, different, eccentric. In classical composition there is always one point that first attracted attention. This happens because the arrangement position, subordinated, contrasts of light or the intensity of the subject than the surrounding or arrangement in such a way that shape the direction that brings attention to an observer at one point.
Overall, a good classical compositions have a pleasant proportions. There is a balance between darkness and light, between the solid form and open space or bright colors with the colors dim. On certain occasions, if necessary you may need your composition entirely symmetrical. Often the images that you create more dynamic and visually more interesting when you put the subject in the middle. You should avoid even if it is a vertical divider lines.

To avoid a dynamic image that also required the presence of rhythm. This rhythm is due to repetition many times a small object. The presence of rhythm in the picture suggests the existence of a movement.

• Line
Good photographers often use the line in their works to bring attention to an observer on the main subject. Lines also can create the impression of depth and show motion in the picture. When the lines themselves are used as subjects, what happens is the pictures to attract attention. It does not matter whether it is a straight line, circular or curved, to bring the eyes out of the picture. The important lines that become dynamic.

• Shape
One of the simplest formula that can make a photo interesting is to give priority attention to a visual element. Shape is one of them. We generally assume a shape as an outline that is created because a shape is formed, in essence, the subject of photographs, drawings are considered to have the power of visual and abstract quality. To make the shapes stand out, you should be able to separate the shape from the surrounding environment or from backgrounds that are too crowded. To create a strong contrast between shape and surroundings that make up the shape. Contrast this to happen as a result of differences in light or dark color differences.
A shape certainly does not stand alone. When entering into a landscape that contains two or more of the same shape, we can also crop a shape to strengthen the quality of the image.

• Form
When the shape itself to identify the object, it is still necessary to give the impression of solid form and three dimensions. This is an important factor to create the impression of depth and reality. This quality is created from the formation of light and tone which then form the lines of an object. Important factor that determines how the form is formed is the direction and quality of light on the object.

• Texture
A photo with a prominent teksur image can be a creative form of shape or pattern. If sufficient, textures will provide realism to the photo, brings depth and three-dimensional impression to your subject.
Texture can be seen clearly on two different sides. There is a texture that can be found when we get closer to the subject to enlarge what we see, for example if we want to capture the texture of the surface of a leaf. There is also a time when we had to retreat because the subject we aim at is incredibly broad. The texture also appears when light strikes a surface with a low angle, forming the same image in a particular area.
Photographing the texture is considered successful when the photographer to communicate in such a way that the observer can feel the photo as if to touch the surface. Just as the pattern, texture are best displayed with a few variations and appears to widen until the out of bounds picture.

• Patterns
Pattern is a repetition of shapes, lines and colors is another visual element that can be a major concern towing element. The presence of rhythmic repetition and it creates an impression of harmony in the picture. But, too much uniformity will cause the image to be boring. Secrets of the use pattern is to find variations that are able to capture the attention of observers.
Pattern is usually best expressed in evenly. Although the lighting and angle of the camera shots create an impression of the image tends to lack depth and allow something that repeatedly become prominent.
By studying the principles of composition above, the following are some types that you can use:

• Rule of thirds
Imagine there are guide lines that form nine equal rectangular big on a picture. The elements of an image that appears in the corners of the rectangle center will get maximum traction.

• Format: Vertical Horizon or
The proportion of rectangles on viewinder allows us to shoot in the format landscape / horizontal or vertical / portrait. The difference-making format may cause different effects on the final composition. Look at the viewfinder horizontally or vertically and define creative decisions for the best results.

• Keep it simple
In some circumstances, the best option is to keep it simple. It is very difficult for people who see a photograph if too many points of interest. Generally, the more crowded an image, the less attractive picture. Try concentrating on one point of attention and maximize its appeal.

• Picture scale
An image that looks ordinary but becomes interesting because there is a small point of interest. By shooting landscapes or monuments, develop a photo shoot with the added attraction of objects of known size as a point of concern to give the impression of scale comparisons.

• Horizons
Changing the balance of heaven and earth to radically change the landscape picture. When a picture is almost filled by the sky will give the impression of an open plain and wide but when the sky is only spared a little at the top of the picture, there will be a full impression.

• Leading lines
The line that brought the eyes of people who saw the photos into a picture or drawing passes. Generally, these lines form:
The lines that look physically eg road markings are not visible or directly such as shadows, reflections.

• Be different
Perhaps there are other shots that can be taken apart and photographed from the front approach parallel to the ground. Moving closer than expected often produce interesting effects.

• Colour
Making part of the picture stand out from the background. The main way to obtain this is to obtain the color subjects or radically different tone with the background.

• Framing
When the subject will typically have a strong, full frame with the subject. Whether it’s a way to use a longer lens to focus or move closer to the subject.

• Shooting positions
When we feel saturated with the composition-that’s all, try meurbah viewpoint entirely. For example, a sitting to standing position or taking shots from the top or bottom of the subject.

• Number of subjects
Shooting with the many subjects that are relatively uniform, less interesting than the view composition. Find a different one subject among the many subjects. Unlike the different means of movement, shape and color.
