There is a loop that can rotate freely on the Polarized mirror. Its function is to regulate the effect of polarizing mirror.The polarizer is usually two types: thick (general) type and thin type. The former may be thicker than the latter1mm
Or more, when mentioning polarizers below, if there is no special explanation, it refers to thick (or general) polarizer.The thin Polarized mirror is for wide -angle or ultra -wide -angle lens, because too thick polarizing mirrors can easily produce dark corners.Generally speaking, if the camera lens (

Movies) The equivalent focal length is at
35mm
Above (including
35mm
), Thick polarizer should not have a dark corner; but if the focal length is less than
35mm
The thick Polarized mirror is likely to produce dark angles, but this is usually related to the optical and mechanical structure of the camera mirror. It may not be the case for every lens, so it is best to try it before buying a polarizer.
The main purpose of polarizing mirror:
Reduce the reflection of glass, water surface, and non -metal surface, make the sky blue, and improve the saturation of the color of the picture.Because the Polarized mirror is dark gray, it will block part of the part that can reach the sensor chip
Light, it will generally decrease1

Between Levels.In addition to the full manual exposure mode, the camera's optical metering system of the camera will be adjusted by itself in other (such as aperture prerequisites, or the shutter prerequisite) mode, but you still have to check whether the aperture or shutter speed selected by the camera will be used.
Reduce reflection
The reflection on the surface of the subject will wash away the details of the picture, or change the color of the picture. One of the most important functions of the polarizing mirror is to reduce or even eliminate the light that is reflected by the camera and enter the lens, but when the subject is metal, Polarizer
The function is not very significant.The best angle of lowering or eliminating the reflection with a polarizer is that when the light source's irradiation angle and the camera shooting angle are made with the camera30
On the occasion, one (or two) deviates from
30
The time -effective use will be reduced, and the more effective the angle deviation is, the lower it will be.It is very simple to reduce the reflection with polarizers.After the composition is completed, rotate the ring in front of the Polarized mirror, and watch the scene window (or
LCD/EVF
) The effect of polarizing mirror will be displayed. Once the desired effect is obtained, stop rotating and shooting.It should be noted that polarizing mirrors are not universal, and it is likely to be unable to completely eliminate reflection.
The most well -known application of polarizing mirrors is to deepen the blue of the sky, making the blue sky and white clouds stronger; however, if the sky is not blue (such as a cloudy day), no matter how good the polarizer is, the blue sky cannot be shot.But we should
It is time to understand that only one of the sky will become bluer, and the other may not change. More importantly, the shooting angle must be selected correctly.There is a very simple rule for choosing shooting angle, first extending the index finger
To the sun, then erected the big fingers vertically with the index finger, and turning around the index finger, so the direction that the Mark finger passes is to get the most effective shooting direction; in other words, the best shooting direction and the direction from the camera to the sun to the sun Droop

Degree, except for the middle of the right, this time, this

Some parts in the sky, part of the ground to the ground, to the sky is the direction that can turn the blue and become blue.When the camera deviates from this direction (such as the shift in the sun or the anti -sun direction), the lower the effect. If it is more than a certain angle, the effect will not be significantly or even disappear.After looking for the direction of shooting, slowly turn the ring in front of the polarizer, and take the shutter after getting the expected effect.
In addition, because polarizing mirrors will reduce or even eliminate the reflection of the subject, the color of the picture shot with polarizer is also more pure than it is not in time, and the contrast is also higher. This is the theme of the next section.
increase the saturation of contrast and color
The reflection of the subject will cover up the original color and details. If the reflex characteristics of the subject in the screen are similar (such as the leaves), a faint reflection not only erase the original color, but also reduce the contrast of the picture. In this Affection
In the case, the use of polarizers has the effect of reducing reflection, reproducing the color of the subject, and improving the comparison of the picture.The lower left photo is added with a polarizer but the lowest effect is used, and the lower right is the maximum effect; these two are extremely strong
In contrast, the reflection of the leaves under the scorching sun distused the color of the woods, but to maximize the effect of polarizing mirror, and the color of the wood and the grass appeared, making the two photos very different.
If the camera cannot be equipped with polarizing mirror?
Many small and stylish digital cameras can neither install filters nor adding sleeves, but we can hold a polarizer in front of the camera to shoot, but how to adjust the effect of polarizing mirror?The method is very simple. First of all
The direction of the mirror on the shooting of the lens (so the closer to the camera, the better), see the lower left photo; then turn the ring on the Polarized mirror, stop after the expected effect (below); finally move the adjusted polarizer to the lens to the lens Ahead (below
Right), but the polarization mirror cannot be rotated, because once the direction of the polarization mirror is changed, the desired result is not available.
Practice this procedure several times, and try to take some photos to compare the results of use without polarizing mirrors. After several times, they will be handy.Most lightweight digital cameras have a small diameter, small,37mm
The Polarized mirror is usually large enough (if it is suspected
37mm
Too small, just use it
43mm
;
37mm
Too big, try to try it
28mm
), Bring a polarizer with you, you can easily take photos with saturated color, blue sky and white clouds, and high contrast during travel.
precautions for using polarizers
First, polarizing mirror may be the most important filter in digital photography. It can reduce or even eliminate the light reflected by the subject, turn the sky blue, improve the saturation of the comparison of the picture and color.
Second, most consumer digital cameras can use line polarizers, but the vast majority (especially those with autofocus and metering function)SLR/DSLR
You can usually only use a round Polarized mirror.If a Polarized mirror is used at the wide angle end, a thin Polarized mirror should be used.
Third, the use of polarizers will lose1

Grade light will affect the aperture or shutter speed of the selected; in other words, it is likely to use a large aperture (so the depth of the depth of the scene) or the slower shutter speed (then the movement of the movement It may be blurred and easily shake the camera), so you should pay attention to the aperture and the shutter speed.
Fourth, although the polarizing mirror has the effect of reducing reflection and turning the sky blue, but this effect is related to the angle of shooting. If the shooting angle is wrong, it is likely that the expected effect will not be obtained.Furthermore, when shooting with a wide -angle or ultra -wide -angle lens, because the viewing angle may be greater than the best angle of the polarizer, the sky in the screen may appear from very deep to quite light, that is, the blue color with uneven concentration.
Fifth, it is best to remove it from the lens when there is no need to use a Polarized mirror.1

In the secondary light, the second is because the effect of the polarization mirror is set to and the effect is more or less, so the polarizer may sometimes cause the anti -effect (such as filtering the expected reflection).
This article introduces the basic concepts, usage, and effects of polarizing mirrors, and lists some precautions when using polarizers.The effect of polarizing mirrors is difficult to simulate post -made software, even if the sky turns blue.if
The boundary between the sky and the ground is relatively simple. When the post -made system is selected, it is easier to change the color depth. Once the boundary becomes very complicated, the part of the sky is a time -consuming and laborious job.
Objects, it is better to use Polarized mirror to adjust the effect when shooting.Furthermore, if the picture loses the details due to reflection, no matter how good the post -made skills are, there is no way to make the details and color that has not been recorded.
Come.For these reasons, polarizing mirrors are a filter that cannot be completely replaced by post -made software.
