3. Consult your particular camera settings/menu to find the custom white balance settings that
will apply, then select the photo you have just taken as the new white sample/setting. We
recommend trying numerous settings with a test object to determine which “solution” yields the
best results.
1. Place your camera on a tripod for better stability and set your camera to a 2 second delay to
avoid movement/blur.
2. Most point and shoot cameras' white balance can safely be set to the “Daylight” setting when
using full spectrum bulbs.
NOTE: You may still need
to adjust the white balance
as shown above.
3. Choose Aperture Priority
mode, f-stop set to f/5.6-
f/11.
4. Set ISO sensitivity to
manual. Use the lowest
possible setting (80-120).
5. In general, place camera
approximately 24” away
from your subject. Use the
zoom feature on your
camera to frame your
photos.
6. If the above settings result in
dark or underexposed
pictures, adjust the F-Stop below 5.6 and/or increase the ISO sensitivity to a higher value.
1. In general, place camera approximately 24” away from your subject. Place your camera on a
tripod for best stability and set your camera to a 2 second delay to avoid movement or use a
remote trigger.
2. Set your white balance to approximately 3000-5400k, but you may still need to adjust the white
balance as shown above.
3. Save in large jpeg format for better manipulation and adjustment later and use extra sharpness
to improve quality.
4. Focal length: 50mm
5. Use Manual Exposure mode, f-stop set to f/16, 1/60th of a second.
6. Set Auto ISO to off and then set ISO 120.
These are general settings and tips...since cameras and settings vary greatly,
experiment with your equipment until you find the optimum settings for your subjects, camera and
environment. Happy shooting!
