Capturing and Evaluating Test Images
Before your photo session begins, and a few times during a session, you should capture and evaluate
images to be sure that the lighting and camera setup are producing the desired results.

Suggested Action
View images and interpret information from
the tool. Adjust camera settings (aperture,
shutter speed, ISO) and/or lighting. Recapture
image, if needed.
View the image at 1:1 and evaluate sharpness
and edge definition in high-contrast areas (for
example, eyes). Adjust lens focus and/or
check and adjust the depth of field.
Repeat, as necessary, when lighting
conditions change.
Look for details such as closed eyes, or
undesirable details. Recapture image, if
needed.
