Use adequate amounts of light

shades, and many other factors. Use the following table for lighting
guidelines.

34W Cool White Deluxe Fluorescent
*This is the recommended distance when pointing a desk lamp (with a
reflector and no shade) at the subject. If you use another type of lamp,
move it closer to the subject.
Place the lights behind and near the camera so they shine toward the
subject
Do not mix light types (for example, fluorescent and incandescent,
or incandescent and daylight)

Color Balance

The DVC325 has automatic and manual color balance options. When Auto
White Balance is selected from the "Image Process" menu of the TWAIN Aquire
software, the software automatically adjusts the colors for the current lighting
conditions. If the resulting color is not satisfactory, you can manually adjust the
color balance.
Move the Hue slider in the "Image Process" menu until the image looks correct.
Note: The AutoWhite balance feature must be turned off.
