Square Perfect 3090 SP300 Classic Kit - Manual (Page 5)

To do this:
1. Turn on the lights for your photo tent and place a piece of white poster board or a sheet of
white paper into the spot where your subject will sit (upright).
2. Next, take a photo of this board or sheet, making sure that the lens/frame is filled completely
with this white.
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
depending on your light bulbs, 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!
