How to Focus in a Correct Way?

Although there are lot of people afford to buy a camera, there are still a lot of people do not know how to Focus in a correct way. Surprise?

Most of the people got a camera in their hand, and they keep shooting because they have a large capacitance memory card. Unlike the film camera, it is very expensive if they keep shooting the environment or stranger for no reason. No offense ^^. Then, when they print the photos or view in the large LCD television or monitor, they found some of the photos not clear or sharp enough. The reason they can't capture a clear and sharp photo because they do not Focus.

The red circle shows the Shutter Button. It is not just a normal button because this button allows you to press halfway to Focus the subject. Most camera will focus the subject appear at the center of the Viewfinder (or LCD monitor for compact camera).

Well, you might think that you have a smart and intelligent camera, you do not need to worry whether you need to Focus before capturing the picture. Maybe you really have a smart and intelligent camera, but you can have a clearer and sharper picture if you know the correct way to Focus, it worth a shot :)

So, use your index finger press the Shutter Button gently to feel the difference between "press halfway" and "press completely". By the way, when you press halfway to Focus, probably you will heard a beep sound once your camera focused the subject. Also, you can see the LCD monitor image from blur to clear because the camera is focusing the subject, and you are good to go. Easy :)

How to Freeze motion?

Capture a clear and memorable photo is very important, whether you are a professional photographer or not. But most of the time, due to the environment, maybe in car racing, horse racing, 100 meters dash, or your kids are running, you might feel very difficult to get a sharp and clear photo. 

The main reason you cannot capture a moving object is because the Shutter speed not fast enough. You might tried faster Shutter speed but you got a same blur result. 

Let's back to the basic of camera then. :)

Do you remember "How does Camera work" ? Film and Sensor need to capture light in order to get enough Exposure. Therefore, increasing the Shutter speed does not really solve the problem. You need another thing to help you increase the Exposure, it called "Light" :)

How do you get Light? Well, Camera Flash, Fluorescent light, Sun light and etc. Or you can increase your ISO speeds as well. Why?

This picture was captured at outdoor with 1/100 sec Shutter speed. As you can see, 1/100 sec Shutter speed is not enough to freeze the motion of the fish. You can see the water splashing but it is not clear and the surface of water is not sharp as well.

This picture was captured in 1/250 sec Shutter speed. The surface of the water looks clearer compare to 1/100 sec Shutter speed. Also, you can see the fish head, sharp enough isn't it?

As long as the you get enough Exposure, you can try a faster Shutter speed. This picture was captured in 1/1250 sec Shutter speed.
