はじめにAdvantages to use ring lightsや種類、選び方などの基本的な知識から、具体的な選び方までをご説明します。A small to medium -sized LED lighting fixture is called a "ring light".Recently, when shooting with smartphones and digital cameras indoors, it is active for the purpose of flying unnecessary shadows in their appearance and shining lightly and evenly.
In recent years, you may have experienced an online meeting or distributing videos at home at home.At that time, the ring light is attracting not only women but also men as a selfie shooting light for a self -portrait that can look brighter on the camera.
The biggest advantage of using a ring light is that you can shoot people brightly and neatly.A large light source can be installed at a short distance, so you can erase the fine shadow of the skin and express smooth skin.It is uniform and exposed to a wide area, so it goes well with bust -ups and short -distance shooting, and plays an active part in self -portrait with a web camera.
If you shoot only with the light from the ceiling without using a ring light, the lower half of the face will create a shadow, giving the opponent a dark and tired impression.However, if the entire face shines evenly and brightly, the expression will be clearly transmitted to the other party and the impression will be improved.
The brightness can be adjusted with the camera and editing software, but you can not shoot high -quality images with noise on the video.Rather, if you illuminate evenly with lighting equipment, you can set the ISO sensitivity of the camera lower, and you can shoot very high -quality images.
The point you can't miss is that you can make a catch light in your eyes because you put the light in front of you.Catchlights are the points of light reflected in the eyes, and the eyes will look very attractive, so you will be given a lively impression.There is also a heart -shaped ring light to make this catchlight into a heart shape.In addition, most ring lights are LED lights, so you can't miss the benefits of "energy saving".In addition to saving electricity bills, it can be taken outdoors by battery -driven because of the low power consumption.
"Clip type"
The feature is that it can be installed between various things, such as the edge of a laptop or furniture.If you can pinch, the degree of freedom in the installation site is very high, and you can use it in various ways depending on the idea.There are many compact products, and it is also suitable for use, such as putting it out in a place that does not usually get in the way, taking it out only when necessary.
The size of the ring is the mainstream of 6 inches or less.It is a light that shines light on the face, etc., rather than shining light firmly.If you choose a type with a rubber inside the clip part, you will be able to use it with confidence because it will not be scratched when used and there is little worry about gaps.It is recommended for those who want to take out and install easily during an online conference in remote work.
However, as a precaution, be aware of the distance from the light because the amount of light is not enough because the size is small.There is no problem if you put it on the table and shoot while sitting.However, if you get up from the chair and go down a little back, you will not be able to expect the effect due to lack of light.
"Trialod type"

三脚に固定し、床や机の上に設置して使用するリングライト。主流といえるタイプで、カメラをしっかり固定して撮影したいときに便利です。小型で簡易型が多いほかのタイプよりリングサイズが大きいので、均一な光を広範囲に照らすことが可能。撮影時、相手へより好印象を与えることが期待できるタイプでしょう。It is important to note that the ring size is larger than the other types, and the stands are also full -fledged because there are many full -fledged stands.Since it takes longer than other types, it is better to choose another type if you have a lot of opportunities to carry.
Recommended for those who are frequently used and those who want a solid lighting effect with a sense of security.
"Smartphone mounting type"

スマホの上部に付いている、インカメラ付近に直接取り付けるタイプのリングライトです。基本的にはクリップタイプと同じですが、スマホに合わせてさらに小型化されています。リングサイズは小さく適正距離が短くなってしまいますが、スマホのインカメラを使った撮影距離なら問題なく使用できるでしょう。For use, it is used for photography and video distribution using smartphones.Because it is small and light, it is recommended for those who think that it is not necessary to prepare the equipment in earnest, and those who want to take a ring light from the bag when going out and take a selfie casually.
However, be aware that one hand will be blocked unless you use a stand to attach it to your smartphone.It will be suitable for photography that posts on SNS, etc., rather than shooting while using both hands.
Even if you want to buy a ring light, you may be wondering which to choose.When choosing a ring light, be aware that the size and functions required differ depending on the application used.Therefore, let's reconfirm the application you use.
For example, if you want to take a photo with a smartphone or a small digital camera, or if you want to take a picture for SNS, a clip type with a ring size of 8 inches or a stand -type desk -ring light is recommended.If the size is less than 8 inches, it will be active in online conferences during remote work.
If it is a small stand type that can be placed on the desk, and the arm can be moved freely, the angle can be adjusted easily.It is also possible to install a smartphone or camera inside the ring and shoot easily.If there is just the right furniture next to the desk, you may want to select a clip type and install it.
If you want to shoot full -fledged videos such as streaming with some solid equipment, we recommend a model with a ring size of 10 inches or more.Because large light can be applied in a wide area, you will be able to shoot not only the face but also the whole body to every corner.Although the price is higher than the small model, it will be more functional, and the light amount and color temperature can be adjusted more finely.If you want to shoot your ideal figure, choose a model over 10 inches.
Depending on the application, when choosing a ring light, the larger the light, the larger the light, the more light, the more unnecessary shadow that can be undertaken under the face and jaws.It can be reflected brightly to every corner of the body.
However, it is not just good.For applications such as quickly installing, cleaning up, or casually carrying outside, a smaller light will be more active.
And it's important to note that the bigger the light, the more you become dazzling.If you take a picture with a glare, you will not be given a good impression to the opponent who saw it.
To prevent this, the dimming function is very important.Let's illuminate a wide area firmly and aim for the brightness that is not dazzling and does not fly white.
Depending on the product, it may emit a whitish or orange color light.Some products have a colored filter attached before the LED bulb, and the methods vary depending on the product, such as those that can be set in detail at the color temperature.
If you use it in the business scene, whitish lighting will give you a cooler impression.On the other hand, in private, orange light will give you a healthier and familiar feeling to your opponent.
Here, we will introduce 15 types of recommended ring lights in order of price.We have a lineup of diverse products, such as popular models and high cospa models.Please refer to your budget and purpose to choose a ring light that suits you.
Cheap ring light that can be purchased for less than 2,000 yen.If you are worried about the ring light and are considering purchasing for the first time, isn't it a perfect product to try and buy?Even if it is cheap, the function is not poor, and the face is brightly illuminated with 72 LED bulbs.Color temperature can be adjusted from 2700k to 5500k.You can freely attach it to your favorite place with a clip type.The brightness adjustment can be adjusted at 9 levels, making it a multifunctional model that does not feel the price.

Even if you decide the purpose of using a ring light, many people may not know how to use it specifically.Here are some of the specific ring lights and recommended types for each purpose.
For those who want to take photos and videos at home, we recommend a light and small type ring light less than 8 inches.Even with this size, the distance between the desks will be effective enough.If you are thinking about shooting photography on the go, choose a battery or battery type for power supply.
Since it is not a business scene, shoot it at a low color temperature such as orange so that you can be familiar.You can express a bright and healthy skin color.
When shooting a portrait with a digital camera, there is a method called Rembrand Writing, which makes a shadow lightly from diagonally above, exposed to light, and gives a three -dimensional effect on photos.However, if you aim for a bright and easy -to -understand image in a ring light, you do not need that skill.
If you shoot with a web camera, we recommend that you darken the color of the costume.The web camera will be a dark video and will complement a brighter image.
When distributing online using a personal computer, the product is about 8 inches to 10 inches, assuming a bust -up shooting on the table.As for the power supply, the power supply type using the AC adapter is recommended.If the frequency of distribution is high, you will be able to shoot with confidence if you have a solid metal stand.Conversely, if the frequency is low, it will be more convenient for a light and easy -to -store stand or tripod.
If you show your whole body, you will be able to stand up and exercise, or take a short distance from the light.In this case, I want to select a model of 10 inches or more to secure the amount of light to shoot beautiful images.The price is high, but you can shoot with a margin.In addition, if you prepare multiple lights, you will prevent unevenness of light when moving.Use dimming functions and dufusers to illuminate the whole body while adjusting the amount of light.
In order to make the viewer a good image, choose a warm color or a mixed color with a low color temperature.Combined with the catchlights that can be made in the eyes, it gives a healthy and popular impression.
It is basically the same for shooting with a smartphone, but choose a product that has multiple smartphone stands attached.The smartphone for shooting can be set in the center of the ring, but the light is dazzling and the screen becomes invisible.Therefore, if you want to use a smartphone as a comment or video confirmation monitor, it is convenient to attach a second smartphone to the stand.
The battery problem is that you are worried about distribution using a smartphone.Some of the ring lights have a USB connector on the main unit, and some can be photographed while charging.If you are thinking about distribution for a long time, you may want to choose a product with such a function.Of course, you can use a mobile battery instead.
If you use it at online conferences such as telework, you don't need much full -fledged.8 to 10 inches for the ring would be enough.The clip size that is easy to remove is recommended because you will only set it when you need it.
It is ideally attached to the upper part of the smartphone or on the border of the laptop computer, and the size and weight that can be removed immediately after the meeting is over.Choose a small, lightweight type, and a battery or battery type so that you can use it on the go or on a business trip.
Since it is a business place, the color of the light is recommended from the white color with a high color temperature.When using a ring light, it does not jump in white, but you can drop it even more.
If you are considering a ring light, think about the purpose of use and choose the light that suits you.For self -portrait photos and online meetings on smartphones, there is no problem with a small and lightweight model.However, if you want to reflect the whole body in online distribution, you need a light of a certain size.Since you will shoot well, make good use of the ring light and have your other person look better.
