Tips
on
lighting
Studio
lighting
Use
halogen lamps
with a color
temperature
of
3.000K
to
3.200K
for lighting
in
a
studio.
If
the color
temperature
of
the
light
source
differs
from
this value, the colors
of
the subject
will
appear
differently to
what
is
seen by
eye.
The shadows
may
take on
colors or the
image
may
not
appear
with the proper
colors.
Use
lighting of
300
lux
or above.
If it
is
less
than
this
value, the
screen
may
appear
dark,
the
contrast
may
be
insufficient, the
depth
of
focus
may
be shallow or the
picture quality
may
suffer
deterioration
in
some
other way.
Ensure
that
the
lighting
is
directed
evenly over
the entire subject
and
that
no shadows
are
formed.
Consult the
table
below and use
the figures given,
which are approximations
only,
as a
guideline
for
evaluating the brightness.
Use
of
halogen lamps
(3,000

Notes:
Do
not
expose
the
lens
directly to
sunlight or shoot a subject
for
a
long time
which
is
reflecting either a bright
light
or the
light
which
is
used
for lighting.
Flickering
may
result
if
the
camera
is
used
to
shoot under
fluorescent
lights.
Add
extra
lighting
such as
video
lights
(optional
accessories)
in
cases
like this.
If
the
light
quantity
is
too
great, obtain
an
ND
filter (62
mm
diameter)
from a camera
store,
and
attach
it
in
front
of the
lens.
