It was a 1909 American Eastman Kouda No. 3A folding camera. At that time, China was in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The camera's red leather cavity was expensive and did not have a front lens. There were various patents in the film warehouse that could be traced back to 1894. When connecting the digital camera, the T-door was used to open the leaves. The aperture adjustment range was f8 - f128. The focusing tube was used to adjust the focus. The image had a sense of oppression like the clouds on the horizon when it was cloudy. The resolution was average and the second-line was strong.

There were many differences between professional cameras and home cameras: ** 1. Image quality ** 1. ** hardware performance ** - Professional cameras were usually equipped with higher-level sensors, lenses, and other hardware components. For example, in low-light environments, professional cameras such as the SonyFX3 had better performance in low-light environments, allowing them to capture clear, low-noise images in darker environments. However, home cameras might have more noise in low-light environments, and the quality of the picture would drop significantly. - The quality of professional cameras was often higher, with a wider focal length coverage, smaller distortion, and better optical performance. They could meet a variety of shooting needs, such as the conversion from large scenes to close-up shots in movie scenes. The lens of a home camera was more suitable for daily shooting scenes, and the focal length was relatively fixed or the coverage was narrow. 2. ** Color reproduction ability ** - Professional cameras were more accurate in color science and could accurately restore the true colors of the scene. They could provide more room for adjustment through professional color configuration files such as Log mode. Although home cameras also had a certain degree of color optimization, it was more to directly output a better image. The flexibility and accuracy of color adjustment were relatively low. ** 2. Function ** 1. ** Manual control ** - Professional cameras provided a variety of manual control functions, such as manual focus, manual aperture, manual shutter speed adjustment, and so on. This allowed professional photographers to precisely control the shooting parameters according to the shooting needs to achieve specific shooting effects. For example, when shooting dynamic scenes, the motion blur effect could be controlled by precisely adjusting the shutter speed. Home cameras were mostly automatic, with limited manual functions. They were more focused on ease of use and convenient for ordinary users to operate. 2. ** Special Function ** - Professional video cameras might have some special functions, such as multi-format recording, which could record in different video format and resolution to meet different post-production needs. Some professional video cameras also supported the expansion of external devices, such as external audio equipment to obtain higher quality sound recording. Home cameras were mainly focused on meeting the basic functions of daily family shooting, such as simple video recording and photo functions. There were relatively few special functions. ** 3. Durability and stability ** 1. ** Airframe structure ** - Professional cameras usually used more durable body materials to adapt to a variety of complex shooting environments, such as collisions and bad weather when shooting outdoors. For example, some professional cameras-on-shoulders were designed to withstand long-term use and transportation. Household video cameras were more portable, the body material was relatively light, and the durability was not as good as professional video cameras. 2. ** Anti shake performance ** - Although some home cameras also had anti-shake functions, the anti-shake technology of professional cameras was often more advanced. For example, some professional movie cameras used 5-axis anti-shake technology, which could compensate for the image shake caused by hand shake or moving shooting in multiple directions. It could provide a more stable image when shooting scenes such as hand-held shots. ** 4. Price ** 1. ** Price Range ** - Professional cameras were usually more expensive due to their high-performance hardware, complex functions, and professional design. Professional HD cameras such as the SonyPXW-Z280 could cost tens of thousands of yuan. Home cameras were more affordable, ranging from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan. For example, home cameras such as the Sony-HMD-CX405 were affordable to ordinary consumers. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Canon had launched an initiative for foreign users. Anyone who bought a Canon camera worth more than $599 (about 4,100 yuan) would receive a "professional photographer" certification. However, this was more of a marketing tactic, because becoming a real professional photographer usually required professional courses and years of practice. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

For professional photographers, the following shots were essential: - ** Zooming lens **: - **24 - 70mm f/2.8**: suitable for those who have just entered the professional photography field. Its focal length covered wide-angle to medium-focal length, and it could basically deal with scenes such as scenery, weddings, street photography, and portrait photography. The large aperture of F/2.8 ensured the amount of light entering the lens, and it could also shoot good pictures in low-light environments. However, there were many alternative lenses nowadays, such as the 24 - 105 and the Sima 28 - 105. - **70 - 200mm f/2.8**: The photographer's skills have improved. It is a must when dealing with complex portraits and long-distance shooting subjects. When shooting portraits in the range of 85mm to 135mm, the background blurring effect was excellent, which could highlight the main body. The space compression effect at the telephoto end made the scene more layered, which was obviously useful in weddings, sports events, and wild animal shooting. - **16 - 35mm f/4**: A must for landscape and architectural photographers. The super wide-angle lens could incorporate more picture elements, making it suitable for shooting magnificent scenery or urban buildings. Although the aperture was f/4, landscape and architectural photography often used a small aperture to obtain a larger clear range. Its angle of view was wide and the zooming range was reasonable. It was irreplaceable in landscape photography. - ** Fixed focus lens **: - ** 50mm f/1.8**: It was called the "human eye perspective" and was the first choice for many photographers when they were making the transition from beginner to professional. The angle of view was close to the scene seen by the human eye, and the photo was real and natural. When shooting portraits with a large aperture of f/1.8, the background could be blurred to highlight the main body. The lens structure was simple, light, and easy to carry. - ** 85mm f/1.4**: Must be selected when focusing on portraits. Its focal length is considered the most suitable for portraits, ensuring that the character is real and not distorted. The large aperture can blur the background, and the color performance and out-of-focus blurring effect are excellent. - ** 35mm f/1.8**: The first choice for street photography and environmental portraits. The focal length was wider, and the picture contained more environmental factors. Compared to a wider focal length, the distortion was smaller, and the realism of the subject could be better maintained. The large aperture of f/1.8 allowed it to shoot good pictures in low-light environments. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
