Lighting Set-Up
To obtain the best possible results from the SP350 system, it is
essential to set up studio lighting correctly. Using the lighting switch
(17) select the setting applicable to your studio set up. In set up, the
recommended minimum distance from subject to lens is 1.3m.
Strobe Lighting
When using strobe lighting, the ideal set up is with two lights positioned
as shown below. If you are using only one strobe light, it should be
positioned as close to the lens as possible (preferably directly above).

Important: It is particularly important when using strobe lighting, to
ensure balanced lighting of the subject and the backdrop. If backdrop
lighting is used, it should be set to low power to avoid over-exposing.
Saturating the backdrop may cause an imbalance in the video
image. For optimum results with either flood or strobe lighting, a grey
backdrop is recommended.
