Portrait Fun

Shooting pictures in a studio setting can be a lot of fun because

you have total control over the light…or lack thereof.

Be creative, loosen up, explore, bring props.

But not too much fun

Instructions & Tips• Shoot on both white and Black

backgrounds…starting with whatever is down first. (don’t switch back and forth)

• Shoot on Manual Focus to take pictures quicker, but don’t forget to manually focus.

• Shoot mostly vertical, with right hand on top of the camera (top of the camera to the right).

Exposure Settings

• Exposure Mode Dial: M• Shutter Speed: 1/125• Aperture: 9.5

• To change the shutter speed, rotate the command dial (right upper corner on the back)

• To change the aperture, hold down the AV button (behind shutter release) while rotating the command dial (right upper corner on the back)

AGAIN: Shoot verticals with HAND on top of camera…not under

• Verticals must be hand rotated…but I can do them in a batch as long as they are going the same direction. The above strip of images would require two passes.
