The first thing to pay attention to when shooting the moon is exposure. If you use the average metering of the camera, most of them will be overexposed. This is because the overall light brightness is not enough, and the photometric system improves the exposure coefficient. In order to achieve accurate exposure, we can use the following methods:

The first is to set the correct aperture. You can't shoot the moon with the default maximum aperture (F2.8 or F2.0) of many cameras. Generally speaking, you should use an aperture of F5.6 or less.

The second is to use spot metering to measure the brightest part of the moon. In this way, the correct exposure coefficient can be obtained as much as possible.

The third is to adjust the EV value. When shooting the moon, you usually need to subtract EV, which should be 1 or 2. The exact number depends on your shooting. Shoot according to different aperture and EV values, play back immediately, and adjust according to the results before shooting. These are easy to realize in DC, which greatly improves the success rate of shooting.

Secondly, consider the shutter speed. If the shutter is set around F5.6, the shutter speed should generally be set at1125s or faster. In addition to preventing overexposure, there is another important reason for using high-speed shutter, that is, the moon, as a celestial body, is constantly moving. If the shutter speed is too slow, it is easy to paste. Nothing is absolute. Some people shoot the moon more clearly with a slower shutter speed. This is all related to the weather at that time and the equipment used. )

Finally, the choice of ISO sensitivity and zoom. When shooting the moon, we usually choose the lowest sensitivity, either ISO50 or ISO 100. Too high ISO will not only cause overexposure, but also make the picture rough.
