how something comes out in a photo; photographic result
The way a subject appears when photographed — whether it looks good, clear, and well-lit. Combines 写り (how something is captured) with 具合 (condition, state).
写真の写り具合を確認した。
I checked how the photo turned out.
天気によって写り具合が変わる。
How photos come out changes with the weather.
証明写真は写り具合が気になるので何度も撮り直した。
I was worried about how my ID photo would come out, so I retook it many times.
Combines 写り (how a subject is captured on film or in a photo) with 具合 (condition, state). Describes how well something photographs — its lighting, clarity, and overall look in the finished image.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 写り具合がいい: photographs well; comes out nicely
- 写り具合を確認する: to check how a photo came out
NOTE ON KANJI:
写り uses 写 (to photograph or copy). For reflections in a mirror or images on a screen, the homophone 映り (映り具合) is used instead.
