CAMERA SETTINGS FOR INTERIOR REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY
CAMERA SETTINGS FOR INTERIOR REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY
Taking high quality pictures indoors presents a challenge, especially if you’re not experienced with lighting gear or just don’t have any at your disposal. With the right settings, though, you can take professional quality photos indoors by taking control of your camera settings.
Shutter Speed : Shutter speed is also known as exposure, and is the part of a camera that exposes light on to film or in the case of digital cameras the sensor.
The values for exposure are measured in fractions of a second. So a setting of 1/500 means the shutter is open for 0.002 seconds, while a setting of 1/40 means the shutter is open for 0.025 seconds. The longer the shutter is open the more light is exposed to the sensor or film.
NOTE: The longer the exposure, the more motion blur is captured onto the image.
Aperture (f-stop) : Aperture is the size of the hole between the lens and the sensor.
Aperture is measured with an f-stop. The larger the number the smaller the hole. The smaller the hole the less light is allowed onto the sensor / film.
NOTE: The smaller the f-stop the shallower the depth of field, or greater the out of focus effect. Also, wider angle lenses such as 18mm allow for lower f-stop values.
ISO: ISO is also known as film speed. Historically, it refers to the type of film used.
ISO is measured in numerical values, typically from 100-800. Historically the lower the ISO, the less sensitive to light the film was. On a DSLR, the ISO values are somewhat arbitrary, but function similar to film.
NOTE: On digital cameras, the higher the ISO values the more noise there will be on the digital image. Best methods are to try to keep ISO values low.

Digital photography - Basic settings and shooting functions
Digital photography - Basic settings and shooting functions Basic photo settings Image source With these basic shooting functions, the camera automatically sets the lens opening, shutter speed, ISO speed etc. according to the image/object being taken, for example a portrait. The only thing the photographer has to do, is to focus and to take the picture. No shortcut keys will work when using the automatic shooting function. The only controls you will be able to use is the shutter and the control wheel (at the top op the camera) The shutter button helps the photographer to focus on an object before taking the picture. Shutter button The control wheel lets the photographer decide which function of shooting he will use. For example, sport, macro, portrait etc. Control wheel of the camera All digital cameras consist of automatic shooting functions. These functions, for examp...

External Features of the Canon EOS 90D Camera Topside controls Your virtual tour begins on the top of the camera, shown in the following figure. Note that not all buttons work in the Basic exposure modes. Autofocus, for example, is handled completely by the camera in Scene Intellignet Auto mode. The camera will pop up a note and tell you when this is the case. Power switch: This switch turns the camera on and off. Even when the switch is in the On position, the camera automatically goes to sleep after a period of inactivity to save battery power. To wake the camera up, press the shutter button halfway and release it. Mode dial with lock-release button: Press and hold the lock-release button in the center of the Mode dial, and then rotate the dial to select an exposure mode, which determines whether the camera operates in fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manual exposure mode when you take still pictures.
