Tips and Tricks
6.2 Shooting in different environments
Outdoors
Indoors
Try these settings for photographing huge vistas:
Focus on an important element of the scene and turn on the Focus Lock on your
1.
camera.
Focus on an element that isn’t too bright or too dark, and turn on the Exposure Lock
2.
on your camera.
Set your camera’s White Balance to either Sunlight or Cloudy, depending on the
3.
weather. Do not leave it at Auto.
Make sure that the sun is behind you. If this isn’t possible, hide the sun behind an
4.
object.
The EPIC’s default settings will work fine for outdoor scenes.
With indoor scenes, you may experience poor lighting, and/or objects that will be quite
close to your camera.
Turning off the Focus Lock, and letting your camera use auto-focus, may help produce
better results in indoor settings, however, we recommend that you try it with the focus
locked and unlocked to see which gives the best results for your shot.
