What is the best lighting for building a digital camera profile?

ImageMapper Image Quality FAQ's
Soft diffuse lighting, so the ColorChecker and main subject receive the same exposure, is ideal. Indirect daylight and studio lighting produce the best results. More contrasty lighting can produce good profiles if care is given to position the ColorChecker in the main lighting. Good results are possible, for instance, when a person is standing in direct sunlight with the ColorChecker held directly in front of them and deep shadows fall behind the person.

What is the best exposure for building digital camera profile?

ImageMapper Image Quality FAQ's
Profiling will work best if the diffuse white patch on the ColorChecker (the bottom row, white patch) is the brightest white with detail in the scene. For instance, if the main subject is a white bridal gown, the ColorChecker white patch should be either the same brightness or somewhat brighter then the white gown. This is because the white patch is designed to represent the brightest white with detail, such as white fabric.

The features that make a good camera for product photography are not necessarily the features that are important for other types of photography like portraits or everyday family photos.

What are the best kind of batteries to use for my digital camera?

Digital Photography FAQ
Many manufacturers offer proprietary lithium ion battery systems with their cameras. These are very sophisticated batteries with very long life. Sony's Infolithium battery system is perhaps the best example of this technology. In addition to offering very long life, this system can give an accurate measurement of the amount of operating time left on a charge. The negative side of lithium ion battery systems is that these proprietary systems tend to be very expensive.

Can I use my digital camera as a webcam?

Digital Photography FAQ
Some cameras are designed for this, so you should check your manual. It's rare to find this feature in high quality digital cameras, but lower quality multifunction cameras with CMOS sensors sometimes offer this. See, for example, AipTek. If your camera doesn't already support some webcam features, you may still be able to do it if you have a video capture card (or USB device) of some kind, by connecting the video out from your camera to the video in on your PC.

The good news is, unless you are shooting close-up pictures of jewelry, you don't need an expensive camera to take good product shots. If you are shooting pictures for use on websites and not for print, you can get a good camera for less than $200. The quality of your images is going to depend much less on the sophistication of your camera and much more on your lighting and how well you operate the camera.

How do I set my digital camera to get the best results?

Online Digital Printing
The best results require a larger image. This means you will get less pictures on your memory card. You will have to balance the image quality with the amount of images you want to get on the memory card. Usually one or two steps below the maximum setting will be a good balance. Consult your camera manual for these settings.

What's the best way to use on-camera lighting?

Video Production FAQ
A small light mounted on your camcorder is very useful for bringing out faces and other details in dark (or dull) lighting. Choose a light with its own battery, to avoid draining the camcorder's. Better units have selectable light settings, for more flexible control. To use them, simply try different settings and check the results in your viewfinder.

What brand of camera is best? Is a digital camera better than a regular film type camera?

International Parapsychology Research Foundation, Inc. infor...
In reality, there is no "best brand." Each camera has its pros and cons, but whatever camera is best suited to you as far as ease of use and budget will provide the vehicle for you to get ghost photographs. Preferably, if you choose a film-type camera, it is best if you get a 35 mm. As far as the digital vs. film debate I find that the two can not be compared as they are both technologically different and utilize two different types of media to record images.

Q. What is the best room lighting to help reduce eye strain?

Ergonomics & Computer Injury: FAQs
A mixture of fluorescent and incandescent light is usually most pleasing. The most important aspect of lighting is to reduce glare and bright reflections from your screen, nearby glass, or shiny surfaces. Since light conditions change during the day this may require several adjustments while working. If you smoke while keyboarding, be sure to clean your screen frequently, as water vapor and smoke form a potent film.

What are the advantages of lenses that are designed specifically for digital camera use?

EVOLT E-510 > Frequently Asked Questions
Although the small size of the individual pixels in CCD, CMOS, and Live-MOS image sensors enables them to capture even more detail than film, the sensitivity of the sensor elements is highly directional. That is, they respond best to light that strikes the elements straight on. With lenses designed for use with film, the light rays passing through the periphery of the lens strike the image sensor at an angle, and this tends to degrade picture quality at the periphery of the image area.
