Attention, the end of the world will not come, this is not levitation, this is levitation photos. Want to know how it was photographed? Since we are taking photos, of course we have to rely on camera 。 In fact, most smart phones with the continuous shooting function can take the effect of floating photos. For today's mobile phones, most people focus on their user experience, photo effects, screen size, resolution, etc., and businesses usually use these as selling points to promote their new products. In fact, in the small camera area, there are also questions from universities. What's more, how to enjoy life and dazzle life depends on whether you can play with this small camera.

Maybe if you wanted to take such a personalized hover photo before, you need the cooperation of the photographer and the photographed person to just hold one point for shooting. This is not only difficult, but also the success rate is not very high. Today, the method we want to teach you is very simple, as long as your mobile phone or camera can support continuous shooting.

Now Xiaobian takes Xiaomi Mobile Phone 2 as an example to analyze the main strategies for taking this kind of floating photos.

First, we will show you a video of the whole process of taking suspension photos:

(1) Adjust camera parameters first

The picture size should not be too large as far as possible to avoid affecting the capture speed. Too large photos may slow down the continuous shooting speed due to the storage time, so you should appropriately lower the image pixels according to your needs to achieve a faster continuous shooting effect.

(2) Adjust the volume key to the shutter key

When shooting, you need to hold the phone stably, so using the volume key as the shutter key can prevent shaking during shooting.

(3) Focus mode changed to continuous

Xiaomi mobile phone 2 has a variety of focusing modes, among which "continuous focusing" is prepared for quick capture. Therefore, this setting can bring great convenience when taking hover photos.

(4) Select a sunny day. If the light is not enough, adjust the ISO to get a faster shutter speed.

The most important thing for capturing suspension photos is that the shutter speed should be high. Only high-speed shutter can make people feel frozen in the air. Therefore, it is best to choose a bright day. If the light is dark, manually increase the ISO sensitivity to ensure the shutter speed. Low shutter speed may cause the picture to be ghosted or not clear enough.

According to many experiments, in order to capture the best effect, the shutter should be around 1/1000, and if the light cannot meet, at least 1/400 or more.

(5) The shooting angle should be as low as possible, so that the characters will appear "suspended" in the sky. It should be noted that Xiaomi Mobile Phone 2 is a long press of the volume reduction button to complete continuous shooting.

When capturing a hover photo, make sure to select a lower angle, so that even if your model does not have a strong jumping ability, because of your low angle, the audience can feel the model "flying" visually!

It can be seen that this effect can be achieved as long as the mobile phone has the function of continuous shooting, but different models of mobile phones have different operation and shooting effects. Now I use my cell phone 2 Meizu MX2 Take several groups of photos with HTC One X+for everyone to enjoy, and you can see what the final effect will be different.

Xiaomi Mobile 2 Display of suspension photography effect:

Compared with the two models tested later, the Xiaomi mobile phone has the richest continuous shooting function. You can set the picture size, ISO, exposure mode, and set the volume key as the shooting function, which makes it easier to operate. As long as the camera button is pressed all the time and the phone capacity is not full, you can shoot all the time. Xiao Bian took nearly 200 photos in a row. Finally, he stopped because he was worried about deleting too much trouble. However, it should be noted that if the size of the continuous shooting image is large, it will have a certain impact on the shooting speed. You should set the relevant values reasonably.

Xiaomi mobile phone long press the volume reduction button to keep continuous shooting, and the ISO value is 800.

Meizu MX2 Display of suspension photography effect:

Meizu MX2 can set the continuous shooting function and adjust the ISO value when setting the camera, but its highest ISO value is only 800. If the light is particularly bad, the picture will not be very good. In addition, it can only take 5 pictures at a time when taking continuous pictures. If you want to continue taking pictures, you must set the continuous shooting function again. This is a little troublesome compared with the other two mobile phones. Because of the automatic setting of five consecutive shots, the speed of taking pictures is very fast, and the actions of the subjects will be presented very carefully.

Meizu MX2 can set the continuous shooting function in the camera to take 5 pictures at a time. The ISO value is also 800.

HTC One X+suspension Photo effect display:

Different from the previous two models, HTC One X+can complete continuous shooting by adjusting the value in the camera settings and long pressing the photographing button after setting the continuous shooting. Because its hardware facilities are very powerful, the speed of continuous shooting is very fast. As long as your fingers hold the photographing button, you can quickly perform continuous shooting, but there is a limit of 99. Although the number of Xiaomi Mobile Phones 2 is not as large as that of Xiaomi Mobile Phones 2, 99 consecutive shots should meet the needs of users.

HTC One X+press and hold the photo key to complete the continuous shooting. The ISO value is 400, but the effect looks good.

Because of the weather, the quality of the photos seems not very good. But thanks a lot Love to play computer games Two other colleagues of the team and Only with his full help did he complete the shooting of this group of photos. What kind of mobile phone do you prefer to use to take suspension photos? Use your own mobile phone to try it. Life is just to ponder, right!
