What is the file for 550d to shoot bags indoors with soft boxes?

It is best to have a soft box and three photographic lights for indoor filming. If there are only two soft lights, of course, one on the left and one on the right. Pay attention to adjust the distance to make the light on the bag as three-dimensional and uniform as possible.

I recently bought a set of indoor lights to shoot small things, so I can share my experience with you.

First, accurate camera exposure is the foundation, and the mode is of course M (Manual). Adjust the appropriate aperture and shutter, and pay special attention to the position of the exposure indicator bar in the camera viewfinder (although it is M file, the camera is also measuring light, telling you whether it is over or under, not the position of zero is the most accurate! The principle of white plus black minus is also applicable indoors).

Second, the aperture and shutter should be well controlled. Usually shoot a lot of things indoors with a small aperture, ranging from F8 to F 16. Under special circumstances, you can shoot with a large aperture, and the shutter speed cannot be too low.

Thirdly, the sensitivity (ISO) should be set as low as possible, ranging from ISO 100 to ISO400. When the image exceeds ISO800, the noise begins to increase and the definition decreases. Note that ISO should be set to a fixed value. Do not use AUTO)ISO. When taking pictures, the stronger the light, the lower the ISO can be set. I usually use ISO200 under my own photographic lamp.

Fourth, the white balance needs to be set manually. This is related to whether the color of the items you take is accurate. It can be said that the gap between amateur and professional is often reflected here! It's best to buy a gray card. There are many on Taobao, only a few tens of dollars. Please refer to the manual for the method of manually setting the white balance of 550D camera. Before taking pictures, measure the white balance. Note that it is set in the same lighting environment when taking pictures. If the light changes, it needs to be reset.

Fifth, it is best to shoot things indoors with a tripod. Because the sensitivity setting is low and the aperture is very small, the shutter speed will not be very high at this time, and the hand is not reliable. A more rigorous approach is to use the two-second self-timer mode of the 550D camera and the reflector preview. In short, don't save the tripod, it is the guarantee of your photo clarity!
