QUICK GUIDE E-M10 MARK III
People and faces are probably the most common
subjects of photos and everyone wants to look their
best, which is why portrait photography is a very
popular discipline.
But great photos aren't done by magic. The camera
and lenses can contribute consistent contrasts,
beautiful skin tones, a blurred background and focus
on the face. This gives you more time to concentrate
on the expression and composition.
Tips
Move the camera to eye level or slightly below.
Compose the image using the image grid and the
rule of thirds. It's also good to take several pictures
in a row.
Fireworks, stars and car lights at night have their
very own charm. Longer exposure times create
fascinating images full of light traces that are
only visible on photos. These are invisible to the
human eye.
This kind of photography needs practice, because
you only see the results afterwards. The various
nightscape modes help you find the optimal settings
for great images.
Tips
Use a tripod or a solid surface and disable IS*.
Focus on infinity and turn off the autofocus.
Trigger the shot using the OI Share app.
