Camera settings
The optimum setting depends on the nature of the picture.
We recommend the following Shooting Menu settings as a starting point
for new users (see Canon 5D Manual, Image Settings p 49 onwards).
Sigma Lens
Camera mode
Menu: Quality
AEB
WB SHIFT/BKT
Metering
Picture Style
Histogram
Note 1: Manually focus the lens to infinity, unless you are in a very low
canopy.
Saving Settings
You may fine tune your settings and save the configuration on the camera,
using the camera controls.
You can also configure it from your PC using the Canon software.
See page 147 of the Canon 5D User Manual, and section 4, page 36 of
the Canon software manual
Exposure
Getting the exposure right can have a significant effect on how easy it is to
classify your image in HemiView, and on the accuracy of your calculations.
Aim to have areas of sky at the top end of the brightness range, and areas
of canopy at the lower end. Check this on your image by looking at the
brightness histograms.
On the Camera, select
the image onto the LCD monitor and
toggle the INFO button to display image
information, including a histogram.
If the image is overexposed, the sky
areas will have a tendency to spread in
