Keep Your Product Picture Shooting Simple
How to shoot better product pictures
The Basics
#1 Use some form of external lighting, not your flash. Turn off the flash.
#2 Use a tripod or copy stand to hold the camera still and use a remote or
self timer to stop the blurred pictures
#3 Set the white balance to match the color of the light you are using.
Tungsten, daylight, or custom.
#4 Set the macro mode if closer than 3 feet.
#5 Adjust the +/- exposure settings until you find the right exposure when you
open the picture up in whatever picture program you are using.
#6 For eBay set your picture size around 400x400 pixels or 5-7 inches max
width or height.
