    Full Face Photography 1) Remove Lens Extension Adapter, put camera Mode Dial on “P” and make sure that the camera is manually zoomed in all of the way. 2) Working distance is about 4 feet. 3) I have found better results with the patient sitting upright and the photographer standing.

    Intraoral Photography 1) SETTINGS & EQUIPMENT: Put on the lens adapter and set the Mode Dial to “C” which is for close- up photography; bowl of warm water, rhodium #4a adult mirror, #1b buccal mirror, cotton towel to dry mirrors, two (2) wire cheek retractors, and two (2) individual plastic retractors (optional).
  • Page 10 c) Goal is to have mirror at 45 degrees to the teeth and camera 45 degrees to the mirror. 45 degrees + 45 degrees = 90 degrees to the teeth. d) Square up camera, move about five inches away; focus, then shoot. Hint, just before taking the picture ask patient to open their widest if mirror angle is a problem.

    8) LEFT BUCCAL CORRIDOR: Because cameras are right handed, the left buccal picture can tangle you up or make you lean far over the patient. Having tried different variations, I have found that the left buccal picture is easiest from the 12 o’clock position. This is similar to the upper occlusal picture.
  • Page 12: Trouble Shooting And Settings

    Trouble Shooting Most Frequent Problems 1. OUT-OF-FOCUS CLOSE-UP PICTURES: a. Usually too close to the subject, working distance is 4 to 7 ½ inches. b. For most close-up pictures, when you put the camera on “C” it zooms in a predetermined amount. DO NOT ZOOM IN MORE EXCEPT FOR BUCCAL AND QUADRANT PICTURES.
