Tips For Getting a Sharp Digital Photos


1. Hold the camera correctly when shooting

Most of blur in photos caused by camera shake when shooting (the camera moves a split second while shutter is pressed). The best way to overcome camera shake when shooting is to use a tripod but it is not practical to carry because of its size sizeable eating places, it is a practical way of holding the camera properly.

2. Use a tripod
The use of a tripod is helpful in overcoming camera shake when shooting although its use is not practical but the resulting image will be sharper and more configurable nice.

3. Choose Shutter Speed ​​(Shutter Speed) right
The first thing you have in mind to get sharp photos is to select the proper shutter speed in the shooting. The faster the shutter speed is selected the photo get sharper and avoid blur caused by camera shake. These selection rules Shutter Speed:
- If you have a 50mm focal length lens, do not shoot with a shutter speed slower than 1/60 sec.
- If you have a 100mm focal length lens, do the shoot at 1/125 sec or faster.
- If you have a 200mm focal length lens, do the shoot at 1/250 sec or faster.

4. Select the aperture (diaphragm) as needed
Aperture has an effect on the depth of focus of a photo (depth of field), lower aperture (increase the f value) will provide the same depth of focus objects both near and far. Conversely, if the increase aperture (lower f value) will give a narrow depth of focus in which the background (background) and foreground (foreground) has a different focus. Keep in mind the smaller the aperture used, the longer the shutter speed is needed and of course for moving objects difficult to get the same focus.

5. Avoid the use of high ISO
The third element of the triangle exposure is an ISO that has a direct impact on noise in images. If you choose a larger ISO then shutter speed is used to faster and smaller aperture but the election ISO is too high will cause the noise so that the image is not very sharp.

6. Use the camera and lens have Image Stabilization feature
Many cameras and lenses currently equipped with Image Stabilization (IS), which helps reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting so that the resulting images could be sharper. But keep in mind that IS only helps stabilize the camera movement is not stabilizing the movement of objects.

7. Make the right focus
The most common technique to get sharp photos is to use the focus of the lens. Most digital camera users are always using the Auto Focus to shoot but do not assume that the camera always get focus properly on the desired object. If using Auto Focus, visually check again whether the desired object is in focus or not before taking a picture because this will affect the sharpness of the picture. If you are not confident with using Manual Focus Auto Focus by turning the focus ring on the lens to get the focus on the desired object, it is very helpful in taking pictures with a large aperture (small f value), which produces photos with a narrow depth of focus.

8. Use a good lens
If you have a higher budget then buy a better lens to get a sharper image quality than always using a standard lens. For Canon lenses, better quality for L-series lenses (professional series lenses), sharper picture quality than standard lenses.

9. Clean the camera equipment on a regular basis
Each finished using the camera much less used room of open, do not forget to clean appliances such as camera lenses and camera sensor from stains, dust and dirt as it will affect the images (cause spotting on the photo).

10. Do a photo shoot on the sweet spot of the lens used
Sweet spot is certain where the lens aperture will produce the sharpest and each lens has a different sweet spot, identify and learn for that sweet spot of the lens used to produce sharp photos. Sweet spot lenses are usually two stops above the maximum lens aperture capability. For example, for the f/2.8 lens sweet spot at f/5.6.
